Pepijn de Groot Fotografie

As a wedding photographer based in Castricum and Hoogwoud (West Friesland), Pepijn de Groot dedicates his work entirely to wedding photography. With roots as a hobby photographer and a formal diploma as a “Vakfotograaf,” he has turned his passion into professional craftsmanship. His photography focuses on capturing spontaneous moments: the subtle glances, unexpected smiles and small details that truly tell the story and atmosphere of your day. Why choose Pepijn? He approaches wedding photography as reportage: unobtrusive yet attentive to emotion and detail, always aiming for a natural representation of the day. His style is warm and lively, combining thoughtful composition and skilful use of light to create images that still give you goosebumps years later. Pepijn works calmly and respectfully; many couples highlight the relaxed atmosphere he creates as one of his greatest assets. How he works: there is always room for a no‑obligation introductory meeting before the wedding, so he can learn about your wishes and walk through the schedule. On the wedding day he keeps communication direct, coordinates smoothly with you and other suppliers, and looks for the real moments without staging or forcing poses when it isn’t needed. For couples who want some guided portraits, he directs those sessions with patience and an eye for composition so the results feel both natural and timeless. Extra options: besides his core specialism in wedding photography, Pepijn can provide drone images where appropriate — for example to show the venue or group photographs from a fresh perspective. These aerial shots are offered as a complement to the reportage and are used only when they add to the mood and story of your day. Pepijn’s driving motivation is simple: capturing authenticity. Not overly polished poses without emotion, but photographs that evoke memories. If you are at the start of planning your wedding day, feel free to send a message for a free, no‑obligation conversation — Pepijn is happy to discuss how your day can be preserved in a natural, loving way.
