Par-pa fotografie

Par-pa Photography — specialised wedding photographer — brings more than ten years of experience in bridal photography and over 35 years of visual craftsmanship. Based in Wassenaar, with a generous studio in Sassenheim, I (Arend Jan) take great pleasure and pride in creating wedding reports that truly suit you. Why choose Par-pa as your wedding photographer? I approach wedding photography as a blend of documentary attention and gentle direction: I capture the real moments — from small glances and spontaneous tears to the celebratory gatherings — without dominating the day. Using professional Nikon cameras and lenses, I deliver technically strong images that retain atmosphere and emotion. Every couple receives a personal approach; your wishes and ideas are the starting point. How do I work with couples? Typically we begin with a no-obligation meeting to discuss the schedule of the day, favourite locations and the mood you want to create. Many couples also choose a pre-wedding or engagement shoot so you can get comfortable in front of the camera — this often makes the wedding day feel more relaxed and natural. On the wedding day I work discreetly, focusing on storytelling: from preparations and ceremony to the intimate portraits and dancing on the floor. When desired, I set up studio equipment on location to create more staged portraits. What makes Par-pa distinctive? The combination of wedding experience, a broad portfolio of diverse assignments and a straightforward, warm way of working. I have photographed for magazines and on stages, yet with wedding photography the personal contact is central. That yields wedding images you will happily relive for years to come. Practical details: I operate in Wassenaar and the surrounding area and am happy to come to your location. For some group and overview shots I also use a photo mast so everyone is clearly visible. Your taste and wishes always remain leading — from an intimate ceremony to a large celebration. Please feel free to contact me for a no-obligation meeting and a custom quote. Together we will create a wedding report that honours your day and preserves it for the future.
