Wedding photographer in Harenkarspel specializing in spontaneous, documentary wedding photography. Calm, unobtrusive approach with an eye for emotion and personal wedding stories; pre-wedding shoots available.
As a specialized wedding photographer in Harenkarspel, Get the Picture — Ilona Kistemaker-Koenders — captures your wedding day in a way that reflects who you truly are. My approach is quietly unobtrusive: I work as discreetly as possible to preserve the atmosphere of the day and to catch the spontaneous moments. Those unposed images — a laugh while getting ready, a glance during the ceremony, a sudden tear of emotion — are, for me, the heart of wedding photography. I position myself as a specialist in wedding photography and wedding reportage. My style leans towards documentary wedding photography: minimal fuss, maximum attention to emotion and storytelling. At the same time, I enjoy taking a few relaxed posed portraits on location or in the studio when it feels right; nothing is compulsory and everything is possible. For couples who wish, pre-wedding or engagement shoots are an ideal addition to get comfortable with each other and the camera and to have images for invitations or thank-you cards. How do I work? We often start with a personal conversation to discuss your wishes, locations and timing. On the day itself I’m present for preparations, the ceremony, group photos and party moments — always with an eye for the details that complete the story of your wedding day. Afterwards I invest a lot of care in post-processing so that colours and mood remain consistent and the images truly tell your story. My aim is natural, timeless images that allow you to relive the emotions of the day. Because I also work with graphic design, I can easily translate your photos into invitations, guest books or thank-you cards when you want them. This makes the overall presentation of your wedding more personal and easier to manage, from digital galleries to printed albums. Are you looking for a wedding photographer who combines calm, creativity and experience and who captures your day without disturbing the story? Get in touch and let’s see how I can best bring your love and your day to life in images. Ciao! — Ilona
