Carmen Hakkens Photography

I’m Carmen, a wedding photographer based in Oosterhout (Noord‑Brabant). My approach to wedding photography is rooted in a love of romance and visual art — I began at art school and later fell in love with the camera. That background gives my work an artistic, editorial feel, combined with warm, spontaneous moments that truly tell the story of a wedding day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I specialise in capturing atmosphere: the colour tones, intimate glances, spontaneous laughter and the small details that together form your story. I describe my style as romantic, dreamy and timeless; I look for the natural, while offering gentle direction and an editorial touch where it enhances the image. How I work: I believe the most beautiful photos are made when people feel comfortable. I take the time to get to know you, listen to your wishes and create a relaxed atmosphere on the day. I combine a documentary eye for real moments with carefully guided moments in which I gently direct you — so you look natural and beautiful without forced poses. During the wedding day I work with attention and creativity, always seeking light, emotion and compositions that continue to resonate. As a photographer from Brabant I feel at home at weddings in and around Oosterhout, but I’m also happy to travel for special ceremonies. In addition to photographing wedding days, I offer couple and engagement shoots as a lovely preparation for your wedding reportage. I draw energy from romance and adventure — emotions I aim to reflect in every photo. What I love most is seeing how you look back on the day and relive those memories. My commitment is that your photos feel timeless and personal, preserving the love and atmosphere of your wedding day forever. You are very welcome to get in touch — I’m happy to discuss your ideas and look forward to capturing your story.
