Sofie Photography

I’m Sofie van der Sman — a wedding photographer based in The Hague with a love for adventure, nature and unposed moments. As a specialist in wedding photography I look for the real, unstaged moments: the in-between laugh, an unexpected hug, and the small details that make your day feel exactly as it was. My background in fashion photography brings an artistic touch; I combine that compositional eye with a documentary, playful approach so the images feel both personal and timeless. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I deliver wedding reportages that breathe — creative where it suits, discreet where it’s needed. On your wedding day I’m a calm, reliable presence: sometimes a coffee companion, sometimes a quiet observer at dinner, and always alert to those moments that will mean the most later on. I love outdoor ceremonies, elopements and intimate city weddings, but I’m happy to come to any location: from the town hall to the dunes around The Hague and beyond — I happily travel for love. How I work: we begin with a meet-and-greet to see if there’s a connection and to talk about your wishes and little quirks. On the day itself I create a relaxed atmosphere — no stiff posing, just gentle direction when needed — so you can stay yourself. I don’t chase perfect poses; I chase authenticity. After the reportage I carefully select and edit the images so the mood and light are reflected in every wedding photo. My style is playful, adventurous and artistic — the perfect mix for couples who want their wedding reportage to truly tell their story. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in The Hague who celebrates love with attention to detail, a strong sense of composition and a passion for nature and spontaneity, I can’t wait to capture your adventure.
