Your Story Photo

Your Story Photo is a specialist in wedding photography based in Zaandam. As a wedding photographer, I (Codruta) document your wedding day as it truly is: unembellished, full of feeling, and attentive to the small, meaningful details. My work focuses on capturing the moments that later become the heart of your memories — intimate glances, spontaneous bursts of laughter, and the quiet moments in between. My style is documentary/storytelling: I work unobtrusively, observing and responding to the natural flow of your day. There are no exaggerated poses or staged scenes — instead I pay careful attention to composition, light, and the unmistakable human emotion that makes each moment unique. By remaining quietly present I blend in with your guests and create space for you to be yourselves. The result is wedding photography that feels timeless and will stand the test of any season of your life. How I work with couples: we begin with a meet-and-greet — it’s often helpful to talk first or to plan a short session (for example a love session/engagement shoot) so you know what to expect from me. On the wedding day I focus on telling your story: preparation, ceremony, emotional moments and the celebration — all are part of the wedding reportage. My approach is warm, empathetic and professional; I guide without dominating. Based in Zaandam, I work frequently across the Netherlands and also travel for destination weddings throughout Europe. Whether you celebrate nearby or far away, I bring my documentary vision and capture your wedding day with the same attention and respect for what makes that day special. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who specializes in authentic, pure and timeless images, I would love to tell your story with my camera.
