Bart Buurmeester Photography

As a wedding photographer in Groot IJsselmonde (Rotterdam) I combine dedicated craftsmanship with a personal approach. My name is Bart Buurmeester: a long‑time advanced hobbyist and, since 1 February 2019, working freelance alongside my job as an ambulance driver. That background has taught me to remain calm in busy situations and to quickly recognise the moments that matter — exactly what your wedding day deserves. My specialisation is bridal photography and wedding reportage. I work from the belief that the most beautiful wedding photos are created when people feel at ease. For that reason a personal consultation is essential to me and is always completely free. I prefer to meet face‑to‑face; personal contact is important. Together we will discuss your wishes, the day's schedule, and which photography style suits you best — from a documentary, unobtrusive reportage to atmospheric, emotional portraits of the couple. On the wedding day itself I focus on capturing genuine emotions and spontaneous moments: glances, laughter, tears, quiet details and the natural interaction between people. My style is recognisable by a calm, documentary approach with careful attention to composition and light — no exaggerated poses, but a balanced mix of reportage and posed portraits when needed. I make sure both the big stories of the day and the small, intimate details are preserved as lasting memories. In addition to the wedding reportage I also offer engagement and bridal portraits so we can get to know each other before the big day and you become comfortable with my working method. After the reportage you can choose prints, a wedding album or digital delivery on USB — always discussed and tailored to your preferences. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I approach wedding photography as a personal collaboration: open communication, attention to your story, and a calm, professional execution on the day itself. If you are looking for an honest, dedicated wedding photographer from Groot IJsselmonde who will capture your day naturally and respectfully, please get in touch for a free consultation — I’d love to hear your plans and ideas.
