Fotograf Erfurt - Matthias Gränzdörfer

Photography shapes my life — and that is reflected in how I work. Based in Erfurt, my primary focus is on weddings, maternity (baby bump) and event photography. My background as a press photographer and videojournalist taught me to read situations fast, spot genuine moments and document them unobtrusively. I bring that eye and speed to every assignment. I also photograph families, babies and children on an occasional basis, complementing my main areas of work. For family images I prioritize comfort and authenticity: I work calmly, with a friendly manner and without forcing posed expressions. Many couples book me for their wedding and later choose me for maternity or family sessions — creating cohesive image stories that work well together. My style blends documentary sensitivity with gentle direction when needed: I capture natural interactions and small gestures but will step in to guide relaxed poses. Experience from reportage and event work is especially valuable with children — I react quickly, find compositions in the moment and capture authentic expressions. Family sessions are flexible — from an easygoing walk at a scenic spot in Erfurt/Thuringia to a cosy shoot in your home. We discuss style and schedule beforehand so the session fits your expectations. I emphasize natural tones, clear visual language and retouching that enhances the character of the photos without over-processing. If you know my work from weddings, maternity or events, or if you are looking for a photographer who occasionally creates family and children's photos, I look forward to your inquiry. Together we’ll find the right way to preserve your memories. Best regards, Matthias Gränzdörfer
