Designer Zij - Yaar Fotografeert

I’m Yara from Designer Zij — a wedding photographer based in Sint-Oedenrode with a love for real moments and cinematic colors. As a documentary wedding photographer I focus on images that don’t just look beautiful, but that bring you back to how the day truly felt. I specialize in wedding reportage that tells the story of your day: from nervous moments while getting ready to the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I aim for images that are honest and full of emotion. My approach is documentary with gentle direction: I observe a lot, but I’ll step in when a small nudge will make an intimate moment or composition even stronger. Years of experience with portraits and family photography means I know how to make people feel comfortable — even if posing isn’t your thing. The result is wedding photography that feels both timeless and personal. Collaboration and process are central to my work. We always plan thoroughly in advance: a meet-and-greet (video call, phone or in person), a moodboard, and coordination on outfits, timing and locations so the day runs smoothly. On the wedding day I work calmly and unobtrusively, paying attention to details and genuine emotion. After the day I edit the images with my signature cinematic colors and deliver an online, password‑protected gallery of high-resolution wedding photos — ready to share and print. I understand every wedding is unique, so I make space for what matters to you — from intimate ceremonies to lively evening celebrations. Engagement or love-shoot sessions are also part of my offering; they help you feel relaxed and familiar in front of the camera on the big day. As a mother and traveler, I bring care and attention to the stories that matter. My mission as a wedding photographer is simple: to record your day with respect, warmth and an eye for beauty, so you can look back with a smile (and perhaps a tear).
