Patricia de Raaf Fotografie

As a wedding photographer focused on authenticity and emotion, I capture your wedding day in a way that truly suits you. I’m Patricia de Raaf and I work from Hardenberg and the surrounding area. My style is rooted in spontaneity: I don’t chase perfect poses but look for the honest, heartfelt moments that make your day unique. That means noticing small gestures, quiet smiles and the natural interactions between you and your loved ones. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I see wedding photography as storytelling. I take the time to get to know you so the images reflect your personality and the atmosphere of the day. My approach is warm and personal; I create a relaxed environment where you can shine without too much direction. This produces natural portraits as well as spontaneous reportage images you’ll enjoy revisiting for years to come. How I work: before the day we always plan an introductory meeting — at my place, at yours or via video call — so I understand your wishes and schedule. On the day I stay as unobtrusive as possible among the guests to capture candid moments, while also offering clear, short guidance for timeless portraits. After the wedding I carefully edit all images with attention to color, emotion and detail so the final reportage forms a cohesive and narrative whole. As a specialist in bridal and wedding photography I focus entirely on wedding reportages; on request I also offer engagement or love shoots as a complement to your wedding photos. My goal is always the same: to make your story visible and create memories that feel as powerful years from now as they do on the day itself. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a large celebration, I’ll create photos that put emotion and connection at the center. Please feel free to get in touch for a no-obligation meeting to discuss how I can lovingly and timelessly document your wedding day.
