Photography by Merlin

As a wedding photographer based in Arnhem, I capture your wedding day with a blend of honesty, aesthetics and feeling. I describe my style as pure, timeless and dreamy — always with a documentary eye for the moments that matter. I am a sensorial photographer; my focus is on building a genuine connection with couples so that images feel natural and remain meaningful for years to come. Why choose Photography by Merlin? Because I don’t reduce wedding photography to mere pictures: I tell your story. I look for spontaneous glances, small touches and special details that convey the atmosphere of your day. My approach is relaxed and unvarnished — no forced poses, just subtle guidance so you can be yourselves. The result is wedding photography that breathes emotion while maintaining a calm, refined aesthetic. How I work: we like to meet beforehand, online or face-to-face. That meeting is important — I want to sense whether we’re a good fit. On the day itself I stay as unobtrusive as possible, attentive to the in-between moments and mindful of light and composition. Between documentary shots and small directed moments, I create space for quiet portraits where you can briefly find each other. After the shoot you’ll receive the images clearly presented in an online gallery, and we can discuss printed options or an album as a tangible keepsake. My motivation is simple: to show people how beautifully they are, without pretense. Every wedding is unique and I find joy in pure, loving stories. By consciously limiting the number of weddings I take each year, every couple receives the attention and care they deserve. Working with me means a warm, personal collaboration — from our initial meeting to the moment you see your photos for the first time.
