Imke Vennema Trouw en Geboortefotografie

As a specialist wedding photographer from Alphen aan den Rijn, I (Imke Vennema) document weddings from a clear starting point: honest, unvarnished and full of feeling. My work is documentary wedding photography — I don’t look for perfect poses; I search for the truth of your day. That means paying close attention to the small glances, the quiet spaces between moments, and the spontaneous laugh that still brings tears years later. I aim to create images that feel true and timeless whenever you look back on them. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I combine experience with empathy: I am used to working in intense, vulnerable situations and remain calm and purposeful throughout. My presence feels gentle but decisive; I observe and sense when to move closer and when to keep my distance. This approach results in wedding photos that not only show what happened, but also convey what was felt, capturing atmosphere, emotion and detail in equal measure. How I work: no scripts, no imposed poses — though we’ll have a short, personal meeting beforehand so we know if we click. On the day I move unobtrusively through the space, always alert to stories and small details that make your day unique. Occasionally I’ll take a posed portrait if you’d like, but my preference is for spontaneous moments that truly capture the mood of your wedding day. For couples who want it, a short pre-wedding mini shoot is possible as a calm way to get comfortable with each other and with the camera. My style is raw, warm and honest. I love natural light, contrasts that make an image speak, and compositions that leave room for emotion. Working with me also means lighthearted grounding at the right moments (yes, there’s room for a dry joke) and a professional, reliable partner throughout your day who keeps a steady focus on documenting your story. Although I am based in Alphen aan den Rijn, I’m happy to work in the surrounding region and beyond. My ambition remains the same: to create wedding coverage that preserves your story as it truly was — without frills, with attention, and always with feeling. Shall we meet and see if we’re the right match for your wedding day?
