As a wedding photographer from Zwijndrecht, Hester of Hezter Photography captures your day in a cinematic, natural way. Documentary wedding photography with a raw edge: honest, narrative and emotive.
I am Hester of Hezter Photography — a wedding photographer based in Zwijndrecht who focuses entirely on wedding photography. My heart skips a beat for real, unfiltered moments: a tear during a speech, a spontaneous embrace in the woods, or the light filtering through trees during your portrait session. I describe my style as cinematic with a raw edge: pure, narrative, and always in search of emotion. Why do couples choose me? Because I create wedding reports that feel like memories, not poses. With over 150 weddings behind me, I know exactly how to document the day without dominating it. I work in a documentary/journalistic way: I record what happens, but I also look for creative moments that strengthen your story. The result is imagery that is both timeless and personal. My working method is calm and approachable. We speak beforehand so I understand your wishes and the day’s schedule. On the day itself I’m present without being overly present; I observe, choose the light, and capture the small details. During portrait time I give short, friendly directions when needed — that gentle guidance often produces the most natural images. Behind the camera I work professionally and reliably. I shoot with solid equipment and always take precautions with backups to keep your memories safe. After the wedding I make a careful selection and edit in my recognizable style: color, contrast, and sometimes black-and-white conversions that suit the moment. You will receive a personal, shareable gallery so family and friends can view the photos. What drives me is a love for people and nature: raised on the Veluwe, I feel at home at outdoor weddings and natural locations, but I equally enjoy photographing in urban settings. My approach is easy-going, down-to-earth, and full of enthusiasm — that builds trust and real emotion in front of the camera. In short: Hezter Photography stands for narrative, cinematic wedding photography from Zwijndrecht. I tell your story in a way that will bring you back to that one special moment for years to come.
