Marlen Mrusek Photography

As a family photographer based in Bergheim, I combine a passion for authentic, emotional imagery with many years of professional experience. I love telling family stories through photographs—unstaged, warm and with an eye for aesthetics. My approach is simple: less is more. I rely on calm, genuine interactions and flattering light to make the bond between you visible and tangible. Why families choose me: in addition to being a wedding photographer in Bergheim, I have photographed hundreds of sessions across life stages. That experience allows me to capture the decisive moment—even in lively, unpredictable situations. Before every shoot we have a personal introductory phone call to discuss your wishes. After booking you receive a practical shooting guide so you arrive relaxed and prepared. During the session I give subtle guidance so authentic, relaxed images emerge—even from those who feel camera‑shy at first. My main focus is family photography: from maternity to newborns, babies and children’s portraits, to everyday family moments. For newborn sessions I often come to your home so the familiar environment provides calm and closeness in the images. For special occasions like baptisms, communions or children’s birthdays I capture moments discreetly, respectfully and with visual sensitivity. How I work with you: we plan the location to fit your style (nature, home or city settings), I guide you through a relaxed session flow, and afterwards I select and edit the best images to create a cohesive, timeless look—available in color and black & white. Your selected photos are delivered via an online gallery. My mission is to make you feel confident in front of the camera and to craft lasting, emotional memories. Whether family photos in Bergheim or a baby session, I want your images to bring back the feeling of that moment. I look forward to telling your story in photographs. Warmly, Marlen Mrusek
