de Bruidsgasten

As specialists in wedding photography based in Leiden (with a second home base in Spain), de Bruidsgasten are known for honest, relaxed and emotional imagery of your wedding day. We focus entirely on wedding reportage: no stiff poses, no unnecessary directing — just capturing the real moments, the small looks and the joyful laughter. Because we concentrate only on weddings, we know the flow of the day and exactly when to be present and when to be unobtrusive. Why do couples choose us? Because we are personal, professional and a little different. We always come with two photographers so nothing is missed and we continuously back up your images. Our style favors earthy tones and pure emotion; technically strong and creatively curious — with attention to detail and room for spontaneity. We provide a fast preview so family and friends can start enjoying the images right away, and we work toward a carefully curated collection that truly tells your story. Our approach is calm, engaged and practical. We begin with personal contact: a no‑obligation meeting to get to know each other, discuss expectations and think together about the day plan. During the wedding we are present without putting pressure on you; at photo moments we give short, playful prompts so you feel relaxed and your best sides come through. After the wedding we select and optimize the images and deliver them securely via our website with exclusive access. Your favorite photos can be assembled into a luxury handmade wedding album — a tangible object that preserves your story for years. We limit the number of weddings we accept so we can give each couple the energy and attention they deserve. We happily travel throughout the Netherlands and across Europe; our passports are ready. For additional wishes, such as drone footage (when location and weather allow) or a videographer, we consult and often coordinate with trusted partners — but our core remains wedding photography and creating strong wedding reportages. In short: when you choose de Bruidsgasten, you choose experienced wedding photographers who capture your day with calm, craft and warmth. May we be your de Bruidsgasten and tell your wedding story honestly and creatively?
