Hallo Liefde Fotografie

As a wedding photographer from Harderwijk, Hallo Liefde Photography focuses wholeheartedly on couples who dare to step away from what’s expected. I’m Ilse, and my speciality is creating wedding reportages that feel real: chaotic, full of humour, unposed and, above all, honest. My mission is simple — years from now when you leaf through your photos, you should immediately be able to feel how it was. That means warm, timeless images that put your individuality front and centre. What sets me apart is a blend of experience and personal connection. With years of wedding photography experience I know exactly when to move with the rhythm of the celebration and when to quietly zoom in on the small moments everyone almost misses. I don’t follow trends; I aim for images that will still ring true in ten or twenty years. During the day I stay present without being intrusive, offer guidance where needed and create moments of calm so you can breathe together and truly enjoy the moment — often that’s where the most beautiful wedding photos are born. My working method is personal and approachable. We start with a relaxed, no-obligation meeting (yes, there’s cake), so we can be sure there’s a real connection. Shortly before your day we have a ‘dot the i’s’ chat; I’ll run through the schedule with you and share practical tips you might not have thought of. On the day I guide subtly during the shoot and key moments, and afterwards I carefully select and edit your images so you receive a cohesive, emotional wedding reportage. Couples always receive a generous selection of photos so the full story of the day is visible. I mainly work as a wedding photographer in Harderwijk and the surrounding area, but I’m available throughout the Netherlands. In addition to weddings I also love capturing maternity, newborn and family moments; these services are available as additions, but my heart and expertise lie in wedding reportage. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who captures your day purely, warmly and full of feeling — with a wink and a dash of silly humour — I’m excited to photograph your story.
