Wedding photographer in Essen – Foto Seydel (D. Heidrich) delivers heartfelt wedding reportage, couple sessions and engagement shoots. Personal consultation and years of experience.
As a wedding photographer based in Essen, I — Diane Heidrich, owner of Foto Seydel — bring long standing experience and a calm, personal approach to capturing your day. Foto Seydel has been a trusted name for decades; after 60 years in the city centre, my studio is now located in Holsterhausen. My core focus is wedding photography: from authentic reportage to composed couple sessions. Why choose me as your wedding photographer in Essen: I combine documentary sensitivity with considered composition. I capture spontaneous, meaningful moments — laughter, tears, small gestures — and complement them with crafted portraits that present the couple and guests beautifully. My goal is to let you enjoy your day while I take care of the photographic storytelling. Before the wedding we have a personal consultation to plan timing, locations and your wishes so the photography runs smoothly. How I work: We plan the schedule together (in person or by phone), define key moments such as ceremony, group photos and the couple session, and address any special requests. On the wedding day I photograph discreetly, focusing on light, mood and the natural flow of events to create a cohesive reportage. Couple sessions produce timeless portraits with space for creative staging. Engagement shoots are available as a relaxed rehearsal and a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera. I am committed to lasting image quality and a warm working relationship. Wedding photography prices are tailored to your needs — from short civil‑ceremony coverage to full‑day reportage. Appointments are by arrangement; please contact the studio in Essen‑Holsterhausen to schedule your consultation. I look forward to telling your story in pictures.
