Jill van den Brand Photography

Your wedding day deserves images that are not only beautiful, but that truly tell who you are. As a wedding photographer based in Nijmegen, I combine a documentary, lifestyle approach with a refined fine‑art sensibility: I look for the small moments, meaningful glances and subtle details that together form the story of your day. Why choose Jill van den Brand Photography? I work deliberately unobtrusively so you can celebrate freely; my presence brings calm and trust, not posed stiffness. With a background in the fashion world I have a keen eye for composition and style — this shows in my use of light and the carefully considered images I create. At the same time everything I capture remains natural and honest: real emotions, spontaneous interactions and intimate moments are given space. What makes my approach special is the balance between documentary coverage and elegant portrait work. During the day I shoot a lot from a guest’s‑eye view — attentive to atmosphere, surroundings and small details — and when the moment suits I take time for calm, timeless portraits. The result is a cohesive report in which both energy and movement as well as stillness and focus are felt. How I work with couples: we start with a get‑to‑know meeting (in person or via video call) to learn about each other and discuss your wishes. That preparation creates room for trust on the day itself. I bring creativity, ideas and a steady presence; my style is warm and attentive, but without heavy directing. My aim is that afterwards you’ll say the photoshoot felt like a natural part of the day. Based in Nijmegen, I work both locally and at venues further afield. My passion is creating narrative, timeless wedding images that bring you back to how it really felt. If my photos resonate with you, feel free to send a message — I’m happy to tell you more about how I work and to listen to your story.
