Daphne of Pure Black Photography is a wedding photographer in Helmond. With a soft, pure and relaxed style I capture your wedding day lovingly — from small details to tender, meaningful moments.
I’m Daphne Nijs, the photographer behind Pure Black Photography, based in Helmond. As a wedding photographer I deliberately choose a warm, pure and relaxed approach: photography that doesn’t dominate the scene but highlights the genuine moments, connections and emotions of your day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I work from attention and calm. I love images that feel soft, tender and loving — photographs that, when you look back, immediately bring you back to the feeling of that moment. Whether it’s a subtle glance during the ceremony, a laugh between guests or the quiet details of your dress and rings: I seek authenticity, not posed perfection. How do I work with couples? We like to get to know each other beforehand to see if there’s a connection — that mutual rapport is important because trust and ease translate into natural images. On the day I’m present without taking over; I give subtle guidance when needed but leave room for spontaneous moments. My workflow focuses on capturing atmosphere and connection: I want you to feel relaxed and present on your day, while I preserve the small, precious memories for you. What drives me is the desire to make real stories tangible. As a mother and a photographer I understand how valuable memories are; I carry that awareness into every wedding. My style suits couples who prefer understated, timeless photos — not bright, over-the-top decor, but calm images with soft tones and emotion. As a wedding photographer in Helmond and the surrounding area I enjoy working with you to find the right moments: from an intimate ceremony to a joyful party. I find it important that you feel heard, so we discuss your wishes and the atmosphere beforehand to ensure the images truly reflect who you are. Would you like to find out if we’re a match? I’d love to invite you for a no-obligation consultation so we can lay the foundation for a wedding reportage you’ll look back on with warmth and pride.
