Kelly van der Maade

As a wedding photographer from Rijen, I — Kelly van der Maade — document your wedding day with attention to real emotions and spontaneous moments. For me, bridal photography is more than creating beautiful images; it’s about capturing the atmosphere, small touches, and unexpected smiles that make your day unique. I specialize in bridal photography and wedding reportage, using a creative eye to tell a wedding story that truly fits you. My working method is personal and collaborative. We meet beforehand so I can get to know you: who you are, what matters to you, and which moments you absolutely want preserved. On the day itself I work calmly and unobtrusively where needed, but I also give gentle direction when it helps create relaxed, flattering portraits. This balance of guidance and spontaneity produces natural results: wedding photos that feel like reliving the day. I love to travel with my camera — it has given me broad experience at both large events and intimate ceremonies. Although I work across a range of formats, my focus here is on wedding photography: from small, intimate ceremonies to lively celebrations. I also offer engagement shoots as part of the wedding process; these sessions are ideal for getting comfortable with each other and the camera before the big day. Why do couples from Rijen and the surrounding area choose me? Because I combine creativity with an attentive, listening approach. Your input matters: together we create images that stay true to your story. I pay careful attention to light, composition and timing, and aim for photos that bring back the same emotion every time you look at them. Let’s create something beautiful together.
