Chris Sibbelee Fotografie

I’m Chris Sibbelee, a wedding photographer based in Purmerend, and I create images of your wedding day that stay alive long after the ceremony ends. For me, photography is more than technique; it’s a way to preserve feelings and stories. My approach to bridal and wedding photography is direct and personal: I look for moments when emotions are genuine — a glance, a laugh, a quiet pause — and record them in a reportage-style that honestly tells the story of your day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I approach wedding reportages with curiosity and calm. I combine documentary observation with brief, sensitive direction so you receive both spontaneous images and characterful portraits. My experience with weddings and the many reportages in my portfolio have taught me to quickly sense what matters on your day without disturbing the atmosphere. In Purmerend and the surrounding area I’m a recognisable photographer who works discreetly, yet is always ready and present when the moment arises. What makes my wedding photography special is the balance of simplicity and emotion. I work with a careful eye for light, composition and timing, always aiming to recreate the authentic atmosphere in the wedding photos. Whether it’s intimate moments during the ceremony or exuberant reportage shots at the reception, I strive for images you’ll look back on with the same feeling years from now. How I work with couples: we start with an introductory meeting to discuss your wishes, the day’s schedule and any important moments. On the wedding day I’m there with focus and flexibility — I guide small portrait sessions when desired and photograph the rest naturally and unobtrusively. After the day I carefully select and edit the images so the colours and mood of the day remain intact. Besides wedding photography I have extensive experience with portraits, group photos and events; this background strengthens my ability to switch quickly and capture different situations. But my specialisation remains wedding reportage: documenting your wedding day with respect, attention and passion. Would you like to meet or discuss your wedding day?
