A wedding is all about the moment.
Connection with each other
Celebrating love with people close to you is a dream come true. The excitement about expressing the value of your partner and what they mean to you. The heartwarming speeches that are given. The party, organised to celebrate the commitment with each other, friends and family. That's all a wedding entails. And that's why I fell in love with working on weddings so much.
During a wedding I want to contribute
The wedding day goes by fast and it is most important that you experience it to the fullest. Every moment is precious. As a "buddy" I will go through the day with you. Bridal couples I've photographed came my way because my images are colourful, real and casual. In between the planning of the script I always find the best moments that tell your story. Family and friends who experience the day with you. Looking for those real images always makes me very curious and that's why I like to focus on this. For me, the story is only really complete if the imperfections are also seen and that the photos radiate the colour of the day in every way.

The photos radiate the color of the day in every way



Often, it's those unexpected, in-between moments that create the most meaningful memories. Hidden within the tight schedule of the itinerary lie these precious moments, moments when family and friends come together and share in your joy. It's my passion and curiosity that drives me to capture these moments, to tell the story of your day as it truly unfolded.
The essence of your love
For me, the story is only truly complete when the imperfections are also seen. I believe these imperfections capture the essence of your love and connection. That's why I think it's important to invest time in everyone in front of my camera, to portray the story as clearly and colourfully as possible. An introductory meeting is therefore important, so that I can get to know you as individuals (and as a bridal couple). What is your story and what are your wishes concerning a photographer?
During the pre-wedding shoot, we really get to know each other
After we have gotten to know each other a bit better and chose to collaborate, we plan a pre-wedding couple shoot out on the heathland in Laren. This photo shoot is meant to get to know each other well. It's always good for me to see how you move in front of my camera. Hopefully this will also put your mind at ease for the wedding itself. We have already had some moments together and it already feels much more familiar at your wedding. Because I like to put you at ease, this pre-wedding shoot creates wonderful photos that are also nice to use for a personal invitation card, for example! :)

Details and investment
Are you looking for a photographer who…
  • Is genuinely curious about your story? The more I learn about you, the better I can understand you and capture who you truly are.
  • Focuses on everything. Every moment during a wedding is valuable. Each one contributes to the story of your day, not just the “perfect” pictures.
  • Has 8 years of experience in photography and has already captured more than 125 beautiful weddings. Trust in your photographer allows you to be fully present and cherish every moment, knowing it’s being carefully documented.
  • Doesn’t follow trends. The photos you receive will be colorful and bright, exactly as it was. I believe it’s important that when you look at your photos years from now, they feel just the same as they do today.

Wedding photography starts at 8 hours for €2950. 

This includes a “practice” pre-wedding couple photoshoot on the heath in Laren, a preview within 3 days, a slideshow with all the highlights of your day, drone photos (depending on conditions), and a luxury mini wedding album with your most beautiful photos. 

You can always expand the package with extra hours or a larger wedding album. 

If you would like to know more about my availability and whether we might be the perfect match, I would love to hear from you. I’d be happy to send you my brochure, and hopefully get to know you soon and hear all about the ins and outs of your wedding. :)

Have you booked a musician yet?
This handsome man (if I do say so myself) is Sjoerd, my boyfriend. He is a musician and often plays at weddings, for example during the ceremony, drinks or dinner. Of course we can both be booked separately, but we also love practicing our passion together! Check out his website via the button below to learn more about him and his music. For us it is super special to work together on such a special day.

Frequently Asked Questions
For how many hours are you usually booked?
I usually spend about 10 to 12 hours photographing a wedding. This allows me to capture the full story of the day, from the intimate moments while getting ready to the festive dancing at the end of the evening. The minimum time you can book me for is 6 hours.
How many photos from our wedding do you deliver?
At a wedding, I deliver around 50 photos per hour. For example, if you book me for 10 hours, you will receive a gallery with about 500 photos.In this gallery, you can easily download the photos in both high and low resolution, mark your favorites (which is helpful if you decide to create a wedding album), and share the photos easily with friends and family.
How long does it take before we can expect the photos after the wedding?
Within 3 days after the wedding, you will receive a preview with a selection of the most beautiful photos, and within one month you will receive the full photo gallery.
How do you see yourself in the role of a “buddy” while photographing a wedding?
Because we will have had several contact moments beforehand where I really get to know you, I understand what you need on your wedding day and can respond to that. I intuitively sense what feels comfortable for you, and if something doesn’t feel quite right, I’m happy to think along and find solutions so that it truly becomes your day.
What is your favorite aspect of photographing family and friends who are sharing the day with the couple?
Taking portraits of your loved ones is truly one of the most important aspects of my work on your big day. They are your support system and such an important part of your lives. Capturing their love and involvement is truly special. During the wedding, these emotions become even more apparent, and I dedicate myself fully to capturing those moments. My connection with the people around me means so much to me, which is why I feel a strong desire, as your wedding photographer, to preserve these moments in a beautiful photo series for you.
How do you deal with couples who are nervous in front of the camera? Do you have tips to help them feel at ease?
Many couples who choose me prefer candid images rather than posed photos. That’s why the pre-planned couple session, which is included in the package, is really important. During this session, I get to know you and discover how you are together. This way, I can prepare, and on your wedding day, you’ll already feel comfortable with the process. It often makes the session fun to do!
How do you handle unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather on our wedding day?
Weddings can be hectic and unpredictable, but thanks to my experience, I can handle this effortlessly. Whether it’s raining, sunny, or an unexpected guest shows up, I’m prepared for anything. In case of bad weather, for example, we can take photos indoors at the venue. Having a Plan B prepared in advance is always wise to keep things calm before and during the wedding.
Have you ever captured an unexpected moment that later became one of your favorite photos?
It’s mainly about capturing photos that show interactions between people | touches, glances, the essence of a person. These photos become so meaningful later because they bring you back to that specific feeling you shared with that person.
How important do you think it is to work together with other vendors such as a wedding planner?
Working together with other vendors is truly a big plus. A wedding planner, for example, brings a lot of experience and takes care of part of the organization on the day itself, which benefits both the couple and the other vendors. It’s those small details that really make a difference. I also have a list of favorite vendors that I always share with my couples to inspire them and help them find experienced professionals in the industry.
How long before the wedding can the couple shoot be planned?
During the peak season, from May through September, I do not schedule couple sessions. Beyond that, the exact timing for planning them does not matter.
Do you make wedding albums too?
Yes, I love to make wedding albums! A wedding album is a lasting memory that you like to look back at. You can proudly show the photos to your family or friends and in this way the images are always close to you. The tangible of this also brings the wedding a little closer.

The wedding book can be made with leather or linen and you can determine the color yourself. By means of a matching storage box, the wedding book is always safe from all dirty fingers and dust and you can enjoy it for a long time.

Do you think your wedding photos are worthy of a place in a quality book? Contact me for more information about the method and rates and then we can get started together to capture your wonderful memories in this way :)
