Irene Hilhorst Fotografie

As a wedding photographer from Naaldwijk, I capture your wedding day as it truly was: without fuss, without filters. My work focuses on wedding photography with emotion — moments that are sincere, not posed. I believe the best wedding photos appear when people feel safe and can be themselves. For that reason I often work in a documentary way: observing, catching interactions and photographing through moments that later bring back the strongest memories. My style is pure and sometimes a little raw; I use a lot of black-and-white work and focus on feeling. That fits my belief: a life without filters is the greatest gift you can give yourself. On wedding days I look for the small, quiet moments — a hand between rings, a tear during a speech, a carefree laugh on the dance floor — and shape those into a wedding reportage that tells the story of your day. How do I work? We start with a meeting (preferably over a cup of coffee) to discuss your wishes, the atmosphere and the schedule. On the day itself I’m present as an engaged observer: close enough to capture intimate moments, unobtrusive enough not to disturb the natural flow of the day. Afterwards I carefully select the images that form your wedding reportage; many couples choose to receive part of the set in black and white because it often amplifies the emotion. Besides my work as a wedding photographer, I also photograph families and offer loveshoots/engagement shoots — ideal as preparation for your wedding reportage or for personal Save-the-Date images. But my core remains weddings: I specialize in creating wedding photos that breathe personality and honesty. Active as a photographer since 2009, I draw energy from creativity, travel and personal connections. I live close to the beach and like to bring that calm, pure approach into my work. If you choose me as your wedding photographer in Naaldwijk and the surrounding area, you choose a warm, emotional and authentic approach to your wedding day — life without filter, captured for later.
