WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER THE HAGUE
Honest, authentic and meaningful images that tell the story of who you are.
Wedding photographer in The Hague awarded in the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands and TOP 20 storytellers worldwide. Available throughout the Netherlands and anywhere else.
Hi, I’m Theo, and I help couples getting married in The Hague capture the true story of their wedding day without forced, uncomfortable poses by giving them space to be themselves and fully experience the present moment.
In my 15 years as a wedding photographer, I discovered that life is too short to be anything but exactly who you are. I believe in honesty, I support authenticity and I strive for meaningfulness. I know memories can lose their edges quickly. And I know that memories are the only things we’re left with. I do my best to create wedding photography that honours all of that.
WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
UNIQUELY YOURS: CAPTURING THE UNREPEATABLE
Your wedding doesn't have to be anything else than exactly what you want it to be. I click with couples who are their authentic selves in every laugh, tear and fleeting moment that has never happened before and will never happen again. When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to be transported back to those feelings, to discover moments you might have missed, and to cherish memories not because they were beautifully staged by the photographer, but because they were yours.
DON'T LIKE TO POSE FOR PHOTOS? I GET IT!
If the thought of posing for wedding photos makes you cringe, you're not alone. I too feel more at home behind the camera than in front of it. That's why I specialize in capturing spontaneous moments. I won't boss you around, I won't require more time for photos than what you want to devote, and I will make this experience as natural as possible. My approach is unobtrusive — I blend in, often mistaken for a guest, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in every moment of your day.
15+ YEARS EXPERIENCE & 400+ WEDDINGS PHOTOGRAPHED
Wedding photography isn't just a weekend hobby for me—it's my life's work. From intimate elopements on the beach to grand celebrations with 700 guests in monumental buildings, I've photographed couples from 40 different countries, adapting and excelling in all conditions and bringing a wealth of knowledge, skill, and an open mind to every wedding I photograph. I'm honoured to have been ranked among the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands and TOP 20 storytellers worldwide.

FAQ
What experience do you have as a wedding photographer? How many weddings have you documented?
I have over 15 years of experience as a wedding photographer, and I've had the honour of documenting more than 400 weddings. I've proudly earned a place among the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands, ranked as one of the TOP 20 storytellers worldwide, and recognized among the TOP 50 photographers overall. Beyond capturing moments, I've embraced the role of a judge in prestigious photography competitions and shared insights as a speaker at photography conferences.
How would you describe your style? Do we have to pose for photos? Will we do a photoshoot together and with our families?
In my perspective, a wedding is a celebration of love between two individuals and all the dear ones who surround and support them. For me, the true essence of wedding photography lies in capturing those profound moments, genuine human connections, and unfiltered emotions. My photographic style is rooted in the principles of photojournalism. I believe in candid, unposed moments that authentically reflect your unique love story. However, I also understand that some couples value portraits and family photos, so we can certainly allocate time for heartfelt couples' portraits and group shots with your loved ones if that's your preference. Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with a collection of images that are candid, relaxed, and brimming with heartfelt authenticity – images that narrate the beautiful story of who you truly are.
What is your delivery time?
The delivery time for your images varies based on the volume of projects I'm working on during that specific period. It can be as little as 2 weeks and up to no more than 8 weeks. The average waiting time is 4 weeks but regardless of that, I'm committed to providing you with a sneak peek of your memories just a few days after your wedding.
How about albums, wall art and prints?
In today's digital age, I firmly believe that the one thing worth printing is our photos. That's why I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to transform their important memories into beautiful albums. To support this, I include a small album as a gift in all of my wedding packages. You can also choose to upgrade to a proper wedding album. In your online gallery, you'll find convenient access to my print store, allowing you to effortlessly order the products that resonate with you, directly from there. Additionally, I will provide you with high-resolution files, granting you the freedom to create prints of any size, whenever the moment feels right.
Would you recommend having two photographers?
In a nutshell, yes, but it's not an absolute necessity. Having a second photographer can be a valuable addition to your wedding day, regardless of its size. An extra set of eyes brings an added dimension to your imagery – offering diverse angles, perspectives, and an increased assurance of capturing every meaningful moment. This also contributes to a richer final selection of images and enhances the overall artistry of your collection. It's worth noting that I collaborate exclusively with a handpicked group of established, seasoned, and award-winning documentary photographers. This ensures a consistent level of excellence across your entire gallery. If your budget allows, I highly recommend considering a second photographer.
What if unforeseen circumstances arise?
I'm part of a close-knit community of exceptional wedding photographers who are there to support one another during unexpected circumstances. In the unlikely event that I'm unable to be present due to illness or any other emergency, I'm committed to going above and beyond to secure an outstanding replacement photographer to step in seamlessly and capture your wedding day with the same dedication and expertise.
How do we book you?
I place great value on the importance of a personal connection when it comes to choosing the right photographer for your wedding day. To explore this further, we can schedule a video call where we have the opportunity to get to know one another and determine if we're the perfect fit. Following our conversation, I will prepare a contract, outline my terms and conditions, and generate an invoice for a flat booking fee of 300€. Upon signing the agreement and settling the payment, your wedding date is officially reserved, and you can look forward to your celebration with confidence.
