SH[O]T BY SANDRA

Your wedding day deserves a photographer who does more than take pretty pictures — someone who sees and feels the story of the day. As a wedding photographer in Haarlem I document weddings in a narrative, relaxed way: I look for those small moments, unexpected glances and genuine emotions that later speak the loudest. My approach is calm and personal. We always start with an introductory meeting so we can see if we click — on a day when you want to be yourselves, trust matters. Ahead of the day we discuss your wishes and the atmosphere you want: from intimate ceremonies around Haarlem to lively evening celebrations. On the wedding day I create an easygoing atmosphere so you can enjoy yourselves; I mostly work by observing and step in subtly when a short moment of direction produces stronger images. Visually I prefer natural colors and soft daylight; my style is loving and honest, with attention to composition and detail. By focusing on real moments, I produce a reportage that captures both the big events and the small, meaningful interactions — a series of images that bring back the feeling of that day. My background in documentary and portrait photography, complemented by courses and masterclasses in the Netherlands and abroad, has shaped me into a photographer who quickly puts people at ease. As a mother I understand the value of calm and patience during important moments — you’ll notice that in how I work with couples and guests. In addition to wedding day coverage, I offer engagement sessions/love shoots to capture your story in advance and strengthen the connection between us. Would you like a reportage that feels like you, where emotions and atmosphere matter more than posed shots? Get in touch for a meeting in Haarlem.
