Marije Kocken

As a specialist wedding photographer based in Winterswijk, I capture your wedding day exactly as it was: warm, spontaneous and full of meaning. My approach to wedding photography is about creating memories rather than making a mere record. I look for intimate glances, small private exchanges and the unexpected moments that make your story unique. My images breathe natural tones, abundant daylight and that subtle, warm ‘beige’ aesthetic you’ll want to return to again and again. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I craft wedding reports with careful attention to emotion and detail, while keeping an eye on atmosphere and cohesion. I’m an enthusiastic, sociable photographer who easily connects with you and your guests. That means I often feel more like an extra caring guest than an intrusive professional — and sometimes I’m even seen as a good-natured goof, which helps create relaxed, authentic photos. My working method is personal and clear. First we meet to hear your story, go over the schedule and feel whether we click. During the preparation we coordinate practical matters and styling so that on the day itself there’s room for calm and spontaneity. On the wedding day I move unobtrusively among your guests, offer gentle guidance when needed and capture the moments that happen when no one is looking. Shortly after the day you’ll receive a small preview to enjoy, then I carefully select and retouch the images so the full reportage tells your story for years to come. In addition to wedding photography I offer engagement and after-wedding shoots — perfect for practicing together in front of the camera or creating extra intimate images after the big day. Whether you choose an intimate ceremony in the Achterhoek region or a large celebration elsewhere in the Netherlands, I’m happy to travel to you and help create memories to be cherished for generations. In short: if you’re looking for a dedicated wedding photographer from Winterswijk who combines warmth, spontaneity and genuine emotion with a clear, personal approach, send me a message and let’s capture your story together.
