Namasté Fotografie

As a wedding photographer based in Culemborg, I — Jeanine van der Hoek — document wedding days as they truly feel: honest, warm and full of unexpected moments. My style is journalistic and documentary: I seek out genuine emotion, the small details and those spontaneous glances that later bring back that precise feeling. No forced poses — instead, I focus on the connection between you and the atmosphere of the day. Why choose Namasté Photography? Because I work like a professional friend with a camera: engaged, calm and attentive. I aim to be almost invisible so you can enjoy the day undisturbed, while always being ready to capture the perfect moment. For couples who love adventure and authentic imagery—whether you marry in nature, a city setting or at an intimate family celebration—my priority is to tell your story through photographs. How I work: we start with a meeting so I can learn your expectations and wishes. That preparation helps me sense what matters most to you and where the most beautiful moments are likely to happen. On the day itself I work by observing: I follow the emotion, watch interactions and zoom in on details that together form your story. For portrait moments I create short, relaxed mini-assignments so you can unwind while I capture loving, natural images. What to expect from our collaboration: a personal approach, a calm and informal atmosphere during the day, and images that later make you feel like you’re standing in that moment again. I photograph weddings across the Netherlands but am based in Culemborg — familiar with the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, the river floodplains and locations that provide beautiful, natural backdrops. My motivation is simple: to make memories tangible. Big or small — the day is about your love and the people who are there. As your wedding photographer I want you to look back and not only see pretty pictures, but truly feel how it was. Namasté, with love, Jeanine.
