Karin Bunschoten Fotografie

Karin Bunschoten is a specialist in documentary wedding photography — based in Leusden and known for her colorful, spontaneous and story-driven wedding images. With over thirteen years of experience and more than 150 weddings documented, she captures the essence of your day: the small gestures, the big emotions and those unexpected, humorous moments that later shape the story. Why choose Karin? Because she isn’t a fan of endless posing or trendy filters: “reality is beautiful enough.” Her style is honest, contrast-rich and full of color. Karin blends in among your guests like a friendly attendee, which lets moments be captured more naturally and spontaneously. Her approach is warm but down-to-earth — with a healthy dose of humour and clear, open communication from the first meeting to delivery. How does she work? It starts with a personal getting-to-know-you meeting: important to see if there’s a connection and to understand what truly suits you. In the lead-up to the day Karin shares practical tips and helps with timing and planning — so you can enjoy the day worry-free. On the wedding day she’s present without directing; she documents what happens and stays alert to those fleeting, meaningful moments. After the wedding Karin makes a careful selection and delivers the images with attention and craftsmanship. What makes her stand out? Karin has a keen eye for storytelling and always seeks the in-between moments: grandpa’s wink, guests moved to tears, or a hilarious moment with the dog during the vows. She has received international recognition (for example: TOP 20 worldwide — no.12 This is Reportage 2024 — and TOP 3 in the Netherlands) and regularly enters competitions to stay sharp and continue learning — something that only benefits your photos. Is Karin coming to your wedding in Leusden or elsewhere in the Netherlands? She’s known for her open, transparent way of working: clear agreements, no small print, and a focus on images that will truly move you years from now. As an addition to wedding reportage she also offers engagement sessions — a lovely way to get comfortable in front of the camera and deepen your story. In short: if you’re looking for an experienced wedding photographer who will unobtrusively, joyfully and sensitively record your day in colorful, timeless images, Karin will tell your story as it was — pure, emotional and with a little spark.
