Bruidsmomenten.nl | Chiel Hoekstra - Trouwfotograaf

As a wedding photographer based in Leeuwarden at Bruidsmomenten.nl, I capture your wedding day in a relaxed, unobtrusive way. My focus is on honest, timeless wedding photography: clear colours, beautiful contrast, and images that still move you years from now. I search for those small, often unnoticed moments — a look, a tear, a spontaneous laugh — so your wedding gallery tells the real story of your day. Why do couples choose me? Because I don’t ask for forced poses; I aim to capture the natural interaction between you and your guests. My approach is at once documentary and personal: I’m present without being intrusive, observing and recording. This results in photos that let you relive the day — not only attractive on paper but genuine and emotionally recognisable. My style suits couples who value authenticity and atmosphere in their wedding photography. Working together always starts with a meeting. That conversation matters: a good connection and trust allow for relaxed photography on the wedding day. During preparations I’m happy to advise on logistics and locations and offer practical tips to make the shoot smoother. On the day itself I remain calm and attentive, constantly looking for real moments and details that complete the story — from getting ready to the celebration. After the wedding I provide personalised editing and fast communication: you’ll receive an initial preview within a few days and the full gallery within a few weeks. I’m also happy to help design a luxury wedding album so the most beautiful memories become tangible and lasting. As an optional extra I offer drone photography to add an extra dimension to your reportage. Aerial images complement ground photos beautifully and create unique perspectives of venue and guests — always as a supplement to my core work as a wedding photographer. Are you looking for a calm, committed and experienced wedding photographer in and around Leeuwarden who creates timeless images from real moments? I’d love to hear your story and look forward to an informal, no-obligation meeting.
