Van Emst Vakfotografie

As a wedding photographer based in Soest, Patrick van Emst captures the essence of your wedding day with care and craftsmanship. For Patrick, photography is ‘writing with light’ — a belief that informs every wedding photograph and reportage he produces. With decades of experience he combines technical mastery of the medium with a sensitivity for emotion, composition and the real story behind your day. Patrick intentionally works as a specialist in wedding photography. A wedding reportage is personal; that is why every project begins with a consultation in which wishes, atmosphere and preferred styles are discussed. Do you want a clean documentary reportage, a romantic set of portraits, or a mix of color and black-and-white images with attention to detail and creative effects? During the preparation we agree together what feels right — so that on the day itself everything unfolds naturally. On the wedding day Patrick works calmly and unobtrusively, with respect for the moment and your guests. His approach focuses on capturing spontaneous emotions and the subtle moments that make a wedding special: a glance, a smile, a detail of the styling. That combination of gentle direction when needed and restrained observation where appropriate results in a wedding reportage that tells the authentic story of your day. After the wedding Patrick handles post-processing and presentation of the images. If you choose an album, you will receive a professionally designed final product; for digitally printed albums you may provide a concept for review if you wish. Typically the album is ready in about 4–6 weeks. As a professional with a long practical background (photographic experience since 1990 and working independently since 2000), Patrick guarantees quality and reliability. Choosing Van Emst Vakfotografie means choosing a wedding photographer in Soest who combines professional knowledge, calm and personal attention.
