Naomi van der Kraan

As a specialist in artistic wedding photography, I (Naomi van der Kraan) capture your day with one clear aim: to create images that take your breath away and that you can lose yourself in again and again. From my base in Papendrecht I work in a calm, observational style; I look for that particular light, the subtle touch, the small gesture that tells the mood and emotion of your wedding day. Why do couples choose me? Because I produce wedding reportages that feel like personal art. I combine years of experience with a love for cinematic light and composition, so your photos do more than document what happened — they make it tangible and timeless. My work is restrained, poetic and sometimes melancholic — perfect for those who appreciate warmth, depth and an artistic vision. How I work: we start with an introduction (in person or online) to see whether our tastes and expectations match. On the day itself I am present without dominating; I record moments naturally and gently guide where needed. After the wedding I carefully edit the selection so that color, light and emotion form a coherent story. You will receive the images and detailed information about the next steps within roughly two months. Your wedding album — the coffee-table book — is an essential part of my offering. Together we design a personal coffee-table book that fits your style: a timeless object that won’t disappear on a hard drive but will have a place in your home and in the family history. I guide you step by step in assembling the album, from cover selection to page layout. For couples looking for an artistic wedding photographer in the Papendrecht area and beyond: my approach is careful, style-conscious and focused on creating images that speak for generations. In addition to wedding photography I offer engagement shoots on request and occasionally run workshops for fellow photographers, but my focus and expertise remain unmistakable: creating unforgettable wedding reportages.
