Mario Ruiz is a Nijmegen wedding photographer specializing in artistic, photojournalistic wedding stories. He captures spontaneous emotions and tells your story with warmth and authenticity.
As a wedding photographer in Nijmegen, I see my role as more than simply taking beautiful pictures: I want to preserve the feeling of your day. My work combines a photojournalistic eye with an artistic approach — I search for unguarded moments, fleeting glances and the small details that together form your story. Born in Guatemala and now based in Nijmegen, I work from a human, warm and curious stance; I believe vulnerability and authenticity create the most meaningful images. What sets me apart is my focus on authenticity. On your wedding day I am present without being intrusive; I observe, anticipate and step in when necessary to bring calm and composition. This produces wedding photos that are not only beautiful, but that also transport you back to the moment itself — the tension just before the vows, the unexpected laugh, the quiet between two loved ones. My style is intense, open and personal: images that breathe emotion and that can be read for generations. My working method is centered on connection. We get in touch beforehand so I can learn your story; this ensures that on the day itself I understand exactly what matters to you. During the wedding I offer guidance where desired — from subtle directions for portraits to practical help with group shots — while continually seeking spontaneous expression and movement. After the event I carefully edit the images so color, atmosphere and feeling remain intact; the result is a cohesive wedding reportage that translates your day into tangible memories. Beyond capturing the day, I enjoy helping you preserve those memories in high-quality form. Whether you choose a handcrafted wedding album, an online gallery or a curated selection for friends and family, I guide you with attention and craftsmanship to give the images a place where they can be seen and cherished. Are you looking for a wedding photographer in Nijmegen or elsewhere in the Netherlands who will capture your day with care, warmth and expertise? I would love to tell your story in images — honest, intimate and timeless.
