Wike Zijlstra Photography

As a wedding photographer based in Zoetermeer, Wike Zijlstra documents weddings with a clear fine‑art and editorial signature. Her work centers on connection: she aims not only to create images, but to preserve the feeling and story of your wedding day. She achieves this through careful attention to light, composition and spontaneous interaction — photos where emotion and style come together. Why choose Wike as your wedding photographer? She treats wedding reportage as small works of art. With a background in graphic design and experience at fashion magazines, she has developed a refined eye for form and detail. At the same time she is a true people person: she fosters a warm, relaxed atmosphere in which even the camera‑shy feel comfortable being themselves. The result is natural, elegant wedding photography that authentically and timelessly reflects your day. Her approach is personal and calming. Before the wedding she listens to your wishes and inspiration — from intimate outdoor ceremonies to romantic sunset portraits — and advises on light, locations and the rhythm of the day. On the wedding day she works discreetly but devotedly: between spontaneous moments she takes time for stylish portraits and captures the small details that later prove so valuable. Engagement shoots (lovestories) are also part of her offerings; those sessions help you get used to the camera and often produce the most relaxed images for save‑the‑dates or invitations. Stylistically, Wike blends the warm character of film photography with the reliability of digital images. She favors floral, natural settings and light that feels like an oil painting — romantic, yet with a modern, fashion‑forward twist. Her images are regularly featured in international wedding publications, a testament to her consistent aesthetic. Wike also values sustainability and carefulness in her business practices. Her love for the craft comes from childhood memories of photo albums at home and a desire to pass treasured moments to future generations.
