Risotto a la Chriske (Stories by Chriske)

As a wedding photographer based in Maarssen, I capture love stories in a way that stays true to who you really are. Working as Risotto a la Chriske (Stories by Chriske), my approach is documentary and atmospheric: no posed perfection, but warm, timeless images that capture the emotion, the light and the small details of your wedding day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Because I look for the story behind the day. I pay attention to subtle gestures, the quiet spaces between moments and the light that shapes the mood. My photos feel like memories — images that are not only beautiful, but also bring back the atmosphere and the feeling of that day. From Maarssen I travel across the Netherlands and beyond to capture those unique moments. My approach is personal and relaxed. Beforehand we plan an informal introduction — often online — so I can get to know you and you can feel at ease. On the day itself I work unobtrusively and intuitively: I blend in with your guests, seek natural light and seize the small moments that later mean so much. Alongside reportage images I also create considered portraits that suit your style, always with an eye for composition and emotion. I combine years of experience in wedding and lifestyle photography with a love for storytelling and detail. That translates into a wedding reportage that feels warm, personal and authentic. For couples who don’t want standard shots but images that truly evoke something, my work delivers that genuine feeling. Curious how your day might look through my lens? Send a message and we’ll schedule a no-obligation online introduction. Together we’ll make a plan that fits your day — from intimate ceremonies to lively evening celebrations — and deliver images that will move you for years to come.
