Michel Otten Fotografie

My name is Michel and I am a wedding photographer based in Geleen. I believe in passion, connection and love captured in a single moment. As a specialist in bridal photography, I focus on the small, honest moments that make your wedding day truly yours — from the quiet instant just before the ceremony to the spontaneous reactions during the reception. My style is pure, honest and affectionate; I mostly work in a documentary way so your memories remain natural and genuine. What sets me apart is my focus on connection and the natural environment. I prefer shooting outdoors — among trees, on rocks or by lakes — landscapes that add an extra layer of emotion to your images. Whether you marry in Limburg, elsewhere in the Netherlands or abroad, I look for light, atmosphere and those spontaneous interactions that make a wedding reportage unforgettable. I regularly shoot in the Ardennes, Belgium and Germany and am available for destination weddings in other countries as well. Working with me means an easygoing and relaxed process. We start with a meeting to get to know your story and expectations. On the day itself I remain calm and present: I guide when needed but mostly let the day unfold naturally. The result is wedding photography that not only looks beautiful but also feels like you — full of emotion, detail and atmosphere. Although bridal photography is my core specialty, I also photograph families, maternity sessions and portraits from time to time, and I offer workshops for those who want to improve their own photography. I approach these assignments with the same attention and calm manner, but my heart and expertise lie with wedding photography and wedding reportages. Choosing Michel Otten Photography means choosing a wedding photographer who sees and preserves the essence of your day. I bring calm and experience so you can look back on images that let you feel the love and connection of that day all over again.
