Tales by Andy

As a wedding photographer based in Oegstgeest, I tell with images what words often cannot: the quiet glances, the unplanned embraces and the atmosphere that makes your day unique. My background in engineering and visual design has shaped my eye for composition, rhythm and nuance. I combine that precision with a love for human stories — the result is wedding photography that feels honest, stylish and emotional. My approach is rooted in documentary wedding photography: I am there to observe and record, not to stage. That way natural, unforced images emerge that still evoke the same feelings years later. At the same time I add a modern‑editorial layer where it fits: subtle direction, attention to light and composition, and moments that look as if they belong in a timeless magazine. Black‑and‑white frames, gentle grain and sometimes deliberate movement are technical choices that strengthen the emotion instead of distracting from it. What sets me apart is a calm, respectful presence. I move discreetly through the day so you can be yourselves — laughing loudly, getting emotional or staying reserved. My aim is not only to document what happens, but to capture how it felt. Through that approach I build trust with couples and guests, and create authentic images without forced poses. The process is personal and straightforward: first we talk about your plans and wishes so I can feel your day before it begins. On the wedding day I focus on stories and details: small gestures, family dynamics, the energy of the celebration. After the event I deliver a carefully edited gallery that’s easy to share and archive; if you want a tangible keepsake you can choose an album in my trusted, minimalist style. If you’re looking for a specialist in wedding photography who prefers stories over poses, working from Oegstgeest with attention and calm, I’d love to meet you. Together we’ll create a wedding reportage that moves you now and still touches you years from now.
