Thessaengelsphotography

I am Thessa Engels, a wedding photographer from Lelystad with a passion for capturing real emotions and unforgettable moments. What began with equine photography evolved in 2020 into my calling as a bridal photographer. Since then I have focused on wedding photography that tells the honest and heartfelt story of your day. My style is personal and documentary: I seek the small gestures, spontaneous smiles and intimate moments that together form your wedding story. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I shoot with care and commitment. On the day itself I am present without taking center stage; I create a relaxed atmosphere in which you can be yourselves. That calm results in natural, timeless wedding photos you will enjoy looking back on. Beyond capturing the big moments — like the ceremony and the first dance — I pay equal attention to the small details and unnoticed emotions that shape the mood of your day. How I work: during preparation we take the time to discuss your wishes. Whether it concerns location, style or special attention points — I listen and advise where needed. On the day I ensure a comfortable pace and clear communication so that everything flows smoothly. After the wedding I carefully select and edit the images; you will receive a personal online gallery with the most beautiful wedding photos. For those who wish, I love to create a unique, handmade photo book with you, so the memories become tangible and can be passed down through generations. Although wedding photography is my specialty, I also photograph families, maternity sessions and portraits — always with the same focus on emotion and authenticity. My work is rooted locally in Lelystad, but I am happy to travel to your venue to capture your story in the purest way. In short: choose a wedding photographer who is close to you, notices the subtle, and stays true to the real story of your day. Feel free to get in touch — I’d be delighted to tell you how I can uniquely capture your wedding day.
