Plaatjes Maker

Plaatjes Maker (Dylan Rurenga) is a wedding photographer based in Leeuwarden who captures wedding days the way you’ll remember them: spontaneous, colorful and full of atmosphere. With more than thirty weddings a year, Dylan knows how to find and preserve moments — from the first preparations to the final dance. He describes his style as documentary with modern colors and a touch of editorial: no stiff poses, just real emotions and the small details that make your day unique. Why choose Plaatjes Maker? Dylan offers a personal and straightforward approach: you have a single contact person from the first meeting through to delivery of the wedding album. No middlemen, no surprises — just clear agreements and a relaxed collaboration. His friendly, easygoing manner helps create the atmosphere needed for genuine photos; Dylan believes that great pictures only come from a good vibe. That down-to-earth, honest tone combined with creative experience — including work in theatre — lets him react quickly to unexpected moments and capture the most beautiful emotions. How does the collaboration work? We start with an introductory meeting focused on your plans and wishes. Together we map out the key moments so everything runs smoothly on the wedding day. On the day itself, Dylan is where you need him: preparations, ceremony, reception, portrait session and party. After the wedding you’ll receive the images in a private online gallery (typically within 4–8 weeks). From your favorites Dylan creates the wedding album, and you’ll get a digital proof before it goes to print — so you can be sure the final book tells your story. Extras and location Although wedding photography is at the heart of Plaatjes Maker, Dylan also offers drone photography as an optional add-on to provide a unique overview of venue and atmosphere. Drone footage is used on request as an extra dimension to your coverage — the focus always remains on your story and the moments that matter. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony in Friesland or a large celebration around Leeuwarden, Plaatjes Maker delivers a personal, spontaneous and honest wedding reportage that keeps the memory of your day alive.
