Nijhoffelmo Fotografie

I am Elmo of Nijhoffelmo Photography — a wedding photographer based in Haarlem who focuses entirely on wedding photography and engagement sessions. My motivation is simple: to capture pure emotions in a way that feels natural and can be cherished for generations. With training from the Mediacollege and the Fotoacademie, I developed a style that blends documentary photography with subtle, true-to-color editing. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I work with attention and calm. On your wedding day I’m present without overpowering the moment: observant, focused on spontaneous interactions and small details that complete the story. My approach seeks honesty and feeling — no forced poses, just genuine connections between you and your loved ones. That results in wedding photos that continue to resonate year after year. How I work: we start with a no-obligation introductory meeting to make sure we click. That connection is essential; only then can I authentically capture your personality and dynamic. On the day itself I work efficiently and unobtrusively, with an eye for timing and atmosphere. Many couples also opt for an engagement session first — a relaxed opportunity to get to know each other (and the camera) better. Occasionally I offer this as a special surprise for a limited number of couples, but it’s always about building trust and preparing for the big day. What you can expect from the images: timeless wedding photos with soft colors and natural contrast — images that bring the emotion back when you look at them later. Whether it’s spontaneous tears, joyful group shots or intimate portraits, I’m looking for those real moments that make your day unique. As a wedding photographer in Haarlem I’m happy to travel for weddings across the Netherlands. My approach is personal, reliable and engaged — my goal is for you to enjoy your wedding day while I capture the memories for a lifetime. Let’s meet and see if we’re the perfect match for your wedding reportage.
