Studio Maarten

Studio Maarten specializes in wedding photography and is known for a relaxed, spontaneous and energetic approach. Based in Velsen‑Zuid and active around Amsterdam and Haarlem, I capture the true moments of your wedding day with attention to emotion and atmosphere. My style is lively, loving and full of joy: I look for genuine smiles, small gestures and the interaction between people — not forced poses. My passion for photography began while travelling and running a surf business; that background shows in my relaxed, natural working method. Couples book me because they want someone who blends into the day, earns the trust of guests and creates beautiful images without taking over. I work deliberately with an eye for light and composition, always searching for that one image that truly conveys the emotion of the moment. What sets me apart is my hybrid approach: I shoot photos and video at the same time when that fits your wishes. This is a popular option for couples who want undivided attention for their day but also want to preserve the dynamics of moving image. Videography is an additional possibility — photography remains my core specialty and receives the primary focus. In preparation I find it important to get to know you better. A short introductory meeting gives me insight into your expectations, indicates the vibe you want and ensures we’re on the same wavelength. On the day itself I work in a relaxed and professional manner: I spot moments, create calm for formal portraits and make sure you can enjoy your guests and the celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who works creatively, warmly and down‑to‑earth — someone who documents the day as it really was — I’ll feel an immediate connection. I’m happy to travel throughout the Netherlands and am available for weddings in Velsen‑Zuid, Amsterdam, Haarlem and beyond. Let’s meet and see if my style matches your vision for the wedding day.
