Madame Poppy Bruidsfotografie

As a wedding photographer based in Apeldoorn, I (Marije of Madame Poppy) document your wedding day with a cinematic, narrative approach. After studying at the Photo Academy Amsterdam, I launched Madame Poppy in 2010 and have photographed over 100 weddings since. My style feels warm, evocative and honest — I look for those real, stolen moments so you can truly relive your day. What sets me apart is my calm, unobtrusive way of working. I prefer to be like a good friend rather than someone giving instructions all day. That relaxed presence helps people feel at ease and results in natural photos: from the moment you say “I do,” to grandma laughing, to the carefully styled details and the party moments. I shoot with a strong sense of light and composition in my cinematic signature style — subtly edited, timeless, and focused on emotion. I intentionally work small-scale: I photograph only one wedding per weekend. This allows me to give my full attention to your day and ensures you don’t have to wait long for your images — the complete reportage is typically delivered within 7–14 days. Every collection includes a hand-bound fine-art wedding album, with options in linen, velvet, or leather, so you’ll have a tactile keepsake you’ll want to open again and again. Whether you’re planning an intimate backyard ceremony, a festival-style wedding in the woods, or a celebration at a castle in the Netherlands or beyond, I’ll feel at home. I’ve photographed at many unique locations (including Norway and Italy) and love when couples celebrate their day in their own way. Everyone is welcome; I enjoy working with couples who choose an authentic, personal celebration. In short: if you’re looking for a specialist in cinematic wedding photography in and around Apeldoorn, with a narrative approach, personal attention, and fast delivery, send me a message and we’ll arrange a meeting — often first online and later in the woods near Apeldoorn to discuss the details. Warmly, Marije
