By Monica Stout fotografie

As a wedding photography specialist at By Monica Stout Photography I capture your day as it truly was: without fuss, without stiff poses, and with attention for the small moments that later mean the most. Based in Sliedrecht, I work in a calm, documentary-style — observing and guiding subtly so spontaneous moments arise and you feel free. I aim for natural light and unobtrusive shooting to preserve the genuine atmosphere of your wedding. My story as a photographer began anew when I became a mother; photographing all the first moments with my children made me realise how precious real memories are. I bring that same love for purity and emotion to every wedding. My images are warm, honest and timeless: I look for connection, a sincere laugh, an almost unnoticed tear or the detail that makes your day unique. This approach defines my wedding photography in Sliedrecht and beyond. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I create wedding reports with feeling and an eye for detail. I build a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourselves, then capture natural, unforced moments. My approach is personal: we start with an introductory meeting so I can learn your story and wishes. On the day itself I work with integrity and discretion, always respecting your guests and the rhythm of the day. When portrait time comes I gently guide couples so photos feel natural rather than posed. Besides full wedding photography I also offer loveshoots (engagement shoots) — a lovely way to get comfortable in front of the camera beforehand and create beautiful images together. These sessions suit my philosophy: no forced poses, but authentic photos that put your relationship at the centre. Many couples value a loveshoot as preparation for the wedding day and as a way to capture another chapter of their story. After your wedding you will receive the photos in a personal online gallery, carefully edited so the mood and emotion of the day remain. I believe in images you want to revisit again and again, images that bring back the same feeling you had on the day itself. Are you looking for a wedding photographer in Sliedrecht who will tell your story calmly and lovingly? I would love to hear your plans and look forward to creating timeless memories together — exactly as you are.
