Fotografie Etiënne Hessels

As a specialised wedding photographer based in Gorinchem, I combine craftsmanship with a personal approach to truly capture your wedding day. My style is classic yet playful: I look for pure moments, spontaneous joy and the small details that later become the most treasured memories. My signature? Lighting — I work intentionally with light to add atmosphere and depth to your wedding photos, enhancing every emotion. Why choose Fotografie Etiënne Hessels (Etienne Hessels)? Because I see wedding photography as more than taking pictures. I invest in a pleasant pre-wedding conversation, listen to your wishes and advise on locations and the flow of the day. That preparation creates a relaxed atmosphere on the day itself: warm, professional and focused on what really matters. Whether your celebration is an intimate ceremony or a large party, my goal remains the same — a wedding reportage that brings you back to the feeling of the day. How do I work with couples? I always start with a meeting to understand your style and expectations. On the wedding day I move unobtrusively through the events: capturing candid moments, making time for portraits when it fits, and ensuring key moments are never missed. This mix of documentary images and directed portrait moments produces a varied and personal story of your wedding day. I also enjoy creating an engagement shoot beforehand — it helps you relax before the big day and provides valuable images for invitations or your wedding album. For couples who want extended coverage, I collaborate with trusted professionals in my network who provide videography so that photo and film complement each other. As a wedding photographer in Gorinchem I stand for dedication, creativity and warm contact with you as a couple. I capture the moments that later gain meaning: the looks, the laughter, the moving details. Get in touch to discuss how I can immortalise your wedding day in a personal, light-driven way.
