As a wedding photographer in Bergschenhoek I document your wedding day in an alternative, documentary style. Raw, high-contrast black-and-white portraits that reveal real connection and character.
I’m Charlie Yada, a wedding photographer based in Bergschenhoek. My approach to bridal photography centers on connection and honesty: I look for the moments that truly speak about your relationship, not posed perfection. My style is documentary-led with a preference for raw, high-contrast images and an analog, black-and-white aesthetic that amplifies emotion and character. What sets me apart is a clear focus on portrait photography within the wedding reportage. I work from curiosity and human connection — trying to look deeper and make contact so the images become vulnerable, strong and sensitive at the same time. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony, a short civil service or an exuberant rock ’n’ roll wedding, I capture the atmosphere as it is, paying attention to details and the small, overlooked moments that later mean the most. My way of working is relaxed but purposeful. During the day I move naturally among you and your guests, aiming for spontaneous interactions while also crafting deliberate, intense portraits. We like to meet beforehand so I can get a sense of your story — this helps me respond quickly on the wedding day and create images that suit you. I also offer engagement/love shoots when desired; these sessions build trust and familiarity that translate into more honest and comfortable wedding photographs. I accept only a limited number of weddings each year because style and dedicated attention to your story come first. Though based in Bergschenhoek, I’m available for weddings across the Netherlands and happy to travel if your location requires it. My editing is intentional and full of character: an analog touch, raw post-processing and frequent use of black-and-white to emphasize emotion and timelessness. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who delivers alternative, emotional and honest bridal photography—with a strong eye for portrait and story—I’d love to arrange a meeting. Together we can discover whether my style matches your vision and whether I’m the right photographer to document your wedding day.
