Imperfect Moments

Imperfect Moments — that’s Heleen Jacobse from Leeuwarden: a wedding photographer who for years has specialised in documenting genuine wedding stories. Her style is pure, loving and colourful; not staged, polished poses, but images that capture atmosphere, connections and the small unexpected moments. The result: photos you truly feel when you look back, not just view. Why choose Heleen as your wedding photographer? Because she deliberately works from the idea that authenticity matters more than perfection. She genuinely celebrates those imperfect moments — grandma’s hug, a sincere laugh among friends, that spontaneous little dance — and ensures those memories endure. With more than a decade of experience, Heleen quickly senses how to be unobtrusively present so you can enjoy the day while she documents it. Her approach is personal and warm. There is always room beforehand to get to know one another: an introductory meeting where your style, plans and wishes are discussed. On the day itself Heleen is calm and friendly — more like an extra guest than a distant professional — which keeps spontaneous interactions natural. She works in a documentary, narrative way: atmosphere shots, details and the big moments of your wedding day together form a wedding reportage that tells the whole story. Imperfect Moments primarily works in Leeuwarden and the north of the Netherlands (Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe), but Heleen is happy to travel for special ceremonies elsewhere. Besides bridal reportage, she occasionally photographs loving family and newborn sessions, but her expertise and heart lie with wedding photography: creating a complete, warm and honest representation of your wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who doesn’t aim for perfect poses but for real emotion and atmosphere, Heleen is a strong choice. She listens to your story, translates it into images with attention to colour and feeling, and delivers a reportage you’ll want to return to for years.
