Ruth Behind The Camera

As a wedding photographer based in Nijmegen, Ruth Behind The Camera captures your day with a filmic, timeless and narrative signature. Ruth deliberately works small-scale—accepting a maximum of eight weddings per year—so each couple gets her full attention and creative space. That focus produces images that are not only beautiful but meaningful: photographs meant to be viewed across generations. Why choose Ruth? Her style is elegant, vintage-inspired and magazine-like, with warm, natural editing. Ruth blends a creative eye with years of hands-on experience and a disarming working method: no stiff posing, but playful prompts and gentle direction that lead to spontaneous, authentic moments. On your wedding day she is a calm presence; she blends in, earns trust and captures those little, candid moments that genuinely tell who you are. How she works: first there is a thorough introduction—preferably in person for couples located within a half hour of Nijmegen, otherwise by video call—so Ruth can learn your story. After the date is booked you’ll receive the 'Last Details' document and a final check about 6–2 weeks before the wedding. On the day she coordinates with the ceremony planner or master of ceremonies and guides you through shoots in a relaxed, playful way. You’ll receive a preview within a week; the full, carefully edited gallery usually follows within 6–8 weeks. Options such as a magazine, artbook or coffee-table album are available as part of the album development process. Ruth is known for working relaxedly on both local and international locations—destination weddings are a welcomed challenge. Complementing her bridal photography, she offers upgrades like drone shots, analog imagery and retro-style video to enrich your story. She also occasionally shoots maternity, fashion and portrait projects, but wedding reportage remains her specialty. In short: if you’re looking for a personal, experienced and filmic wedding photographer in Nijmegen who invests fully in your story, Ruth Behind The Camera translates emotion and atmosphere into timeless images that put your love at the centre.
