Patrick de Joode Fotografie

As a wedding photographer in Ommoord, Patrick de Joode translates your wedding day into images that feel spontaneous and genuine. Trained as a people photographer, Patrick’s greatest strength is his ability to connect and create a relaxed atmosphere so real emotions and individual character can surface naturally. That human approach is what sets his wedding photography apart: no stiff poses, but storytelling images that reflect the day as it unfolds. Patrick prefers to work with natural light and easily moves his mobile studio to outdoor locations such as the beach or the woods. This produces a soft, authentic look in both portraits and reportage shots. The introduction meeting — a fixed part of his workflow — lets you discuss wishes, the day’s schedule and practical details. That first meeting is not only for planning but primarily to check if there’s a connection; that rapport is essential for relaxed, natural images on the day itself. The wedding reportage Patrick creates focuses on attention: to each other, to small moments and to the overall flow of your day. He looks for spontaneous glances, unforced interactions and fleeting moments that will stay with you long after the day. He combines his experience in portrait photography to capture the classic couple portraits quietly and with dignity — without forced posing. Patrick offers tailored packages for every wedding. From intimate ceremonies to full-day coverage, he advises on timing, light and locations and provides practical tips so you can concentrate on the day itself. For those who want it, there’s an engagement session (pre-shoot): a short portrait session beforehand, ideal for getting used to the camera and to create atmospheric images for invitations or thank-you cards. Images are carefully edited with respect for mood and colour. You will receive your photos on a neat USB drive; albums and print products are available on request to make the memories tangible. With his calm approach and people-first focus, Patrick de Joode ensures your wedding photos are not only beautiful but truly reflect how you felt. Contact him for a no-obligation meeting in Ommoord or Rotterdam — often the start of the most memorable reportage.
