MAY Studio

MAY Studio stands for one clear mission: to capture your wedding story in an honest and narrative way. As an experienced wedding photographer based in Arnhem, I focus on real moments — the small glances, spontaneous bursts of laughter and the atmosphere that makes your day unique. My style is narrative, pure, warm and colorful; I work mostly by instinct and look for spontaneity in every image. Why choose MAY Studio as your wedding photographer? Because I observe and photograph your day with attention and calm. I don’t interfere unnecessarily with the flow of the ceremony, but I offer subtle guidance when needed — this creates natural portraits without stiff posing. You won’t receive a series of posed snapshots, but a wedding reportage that tells the emotions, relationships and the context of your venue. My approach is personal and involved. Before the day we meet — a conversation in which we discuss atmosphere, timing and any wishes. Many couples also appreciate an engagement shoot (loveshoot) beforehand: a relaxed moment to get to know each other and to make sure you feel completely at ease on the wedding day. On the day itself I work discreetly and purposefully; I seek out the moments that will truly matter later. Behind MAY Studio is Maaike — passionate about stories and photography. After formal training and a first wedding on Terschelling she has built years of experience photographing intimate and spontaneous celebrations. She lives in Arnhem and draws inspiration from travel and small, human moments. That dedication shows in how carefully each photo is selected and edited. In addition to wedding photography, I love creating albums and tangible keepsakes that complete your story. Whether you celebrate an intimate ceremony or a day full of family and friends, I create a tailored wedding reportage you’ll want to revisit again and again.
