Emma van der Schelde Fotografie

As a fine art wedding photographer, I believe in love — the sincere smile, the warm embrace, the small moments you’ll want to relive for years to come. From Rotterdam and Dordrecht I document intimate weddings with a calm, documentary-sensitive style. My work focuses on capturing emotion and atmosphere: I look for subtle details and spontaneous interactions so your wedding day is represented naturally and unobtrusively in images. My approach is thoughtful and personal. We always meet beforehand so I can learn your story and you can feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the day itself I remain present without taking center stage: discreet during the ceremony, attentive to special moments and ready to respond when it truly matters — If you need me, I am there. That balance between being present and working unobtrusively results in a wedding reportage that feels both intimate and honest. As a fine art photographer I work with careful attention to light, composition and timeless aesthetics. I select images that strengthen your story — not only the big moments, but especially the small gestures that make the day unique. Whether it’s a short, emotional ceremony in Rotterdam or an intimate celebration elsewhere, I’m happy to travel with you to capture real, meaningful memories. In addition to wedding photography, I sometimes shoot loveshoots and engagement sessions and offer mentor sessions for entrepreneurs and emerging photographers. These services are complementary; my specialty and passion remain wedding reportage. Clients appreciate my calm guidance, attention to detail and warm, personal service — from first contact to the moment you receive your photos and can feel again how special the day was. Would you like a wedding photographer who captures your story in and around Rotterdam with respect, style and care? I’d love to hear from you — get in touch and I’ll gladly explain how I can preserve your day in images you’ll cherish for years.
