FotoSynthese

As a specialist in wedding photography from Merenwijk (Leiden), FotoSynthese captures your wedding day with an emphasis on atmosphere, emotion and the story behind it. We are André and Nienke — two biologists who turned their love for observing and connecting into photography. The name FotoSynthese says it all: creating images by combining your wishes with our creativity. That is exactly what our bridal photography is about. Why do couples choose FotoSynthese? Because we produce wedding reportages that feel authentic and personal. We combine a documentary approach — so spontaneous, important moments are recorded unobtrusively — with directed guidance for portraits. We subtly coach couples in poses without losing the natural mood. Our focus is on real emotions: the quiet moment before the ceremony, relaxed interactions with guests, and the small details that make your day unique. Our working method always starts with a personal meeting. We listen to your wishes, review examples and collaborate on a moodboard so the photographic style is clear before the day itself. That preparation ensures we know exactly which images matter to you and that you feel safe and comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day we are flexible and efficient: we use proven techniques and a purposeful setup of equipment so we can quickly switch between reportage, detail shots and portrait work. Afterwards we take care of careful selection, backups and post-processing. The result is delivered clearly and professionally so you can immediately share and preserve your memories. Although wedding photography is our core, we also offer engagement shoots and short loveshoots as preparation for your wedding day. These sessions help couples relax in front of the camera and often form the perfect warm-up for the big day. Sustainability and involvement are more than words for us: we strive to work responsibly and to collaborate as much as possible with local and sustainable partners. Your search for a wedding photographer deserves a partner who listens, thinks along and delivers images that truly capture your story. Would you like to know if we’re a good fit?
