Catching moments — that is what Studio Dijkgraaf stands for. As a specialist wedding photographer based in Bergschenhoek, John Dijkgraaf passionately records your wedding day. His working method focuses on capturing genuine emotions and spontaneous moments: no forced poses, but authentic images that tell the story and atmosphere of your day. John approaches wedding photography through a blend of documentary and personal portrait styles. During the ceremony and the reception he works unobtrusively so that natural moments can unfold undisturbed. For the portrait session he takes time to put you at ease — calm direction, relaxed conversation and small prompts help bring out natural intimacy and ease in the photos. Regional locations such as the Bergse Bos often feature in his work because their variety of light and backdrops produce both romantic and playful images. Why choose Studio Dijkgraaf? John brings years of experience in wedding reportage and a sharp eye for composition and timing. He pays attention to detail: from the subtle light during the ceremony to the small gestures between partners and family. The resulting images are intended to evoke the same emotions years later — your memories captured with care and professionalism. Working with John feels personal and relaxed. Before the wedding there is contact to discuss your wishes, the day schedule and favourite locations. Optional engagement or couple sessions are available as preparation — ideal for getting comfortable in front of the camera and for creating images you can use on invitations. On the day itself John provides a calm presence and clear communication so you can enjoy the celebration while the reportage takes shape. Although wedding photography is the core of Studio Dijkgraaf, John also produces portrait photography and commercial photography. After the shoot your images are carefully edited and presented in a private online gallery; high-resolution files, print options and bespoke albums are available. For couples in Bergschenhoek and the surrounding area he offers customised packages and reportage formats — always with the same goal: to capture your unique story beautifully, honestly and with lasting impact.
