WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER THE HAGUE
Honest, authentic and meaningful wedding photography that tells the story of who you are.
Documentary wedding photographer awarded in the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands and TOP 20 storytellers worldwide by This is Reportage. Also available throughout Europe and the world.
I’ve been doing this for a while. And after so many years of photographing weddings my values have changed. I learned, out of my own experience and out of that of thousands of people I photographed, that nothing matters more in life than the present moment. That focusing on having more things means less time living our best lives. That trapped in a house during a pandemic reminds you how underrated hugs are. That we all need connection more than anything.
Hi, I’m Theo and 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.

You will be able to choose between 4 different album collections that are offered in silk, natural linen, wood, or sustainable leather, each offering albums in 3 sizes, different covers and add on options. Every album comes with instructions of use and a lifetime warranty.

FAQ
What is your experience as a wedding photographer? How many weddings have you photographed?
I have been a wedding photographer for over 15 years ago. I am an internationally published and awarded photographer, having been ranked in the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands, TOP 20 storytellers worldwide and TOP 50 photographers overall by This is Reportage, a judge in photography competitions and a speaker at photography conferences. I have photographed more 400 weddings until now.
What is your style? Do we have to pose? Do you also take portraits or group photos?
I believe that a wedding is about two people who love each other and all the people who love them, so in my opinion the true value of wedding photography stands in capturing meaningful moments, authentic human connection and honest emotion.
My style is photojournalistic. I don’t intervene, my camera is silent, I like being an invisible observer. And both myself and the couples I photograph are not fans of posing for the camera, but I know that having some portraits and family photos might also important to you someday, so we can schedule some time for heartfelt couples portraits and group photos with your loved ones, for which I will gently offer a little bit of direction.
Ultimately my goal is for you to have candid, relaxed and heartfelt images that will tell the story of who you really are.
Do you do wedding photography in the Netherlands only or do you travel?
I work a lot in the Netherlands but I also travel all over Europe and around the world. I’ve photographed weddings in Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, UK, the Caribbean and my home country of Romania.
When will we be receiving the images?
The delivery time for all your images and album design proposal is up to 8 weeks and dependant on the amount of projects that I have in that time. For weddings in the off season, for example, it can be as soon as 2 weeks. Regardless, I will make sure to send a preview just a few days after your wedding.
Can we print our images? Can you do an album for us?
I believe literally the only thing that we should still be printing in this digital era is our photos, so I encourage everyone to make albums of their important memories. I include an album credit in all of my wedding packages so you can choose between different album options. In your online gallery you will have access to a print store so you can order the products that suit you directly from your gallery. I will also be delivering high resolution files, so you can make your own prints and enlargements of any size at any time.
Should we get a second photographer?
Short answer, yes but it's not a must have. A second photographer is always a great addition to your wedding day, no matter the size of your wedding. An extra pair of eyes will bring more variety to your images, different angles, points of view, as well as help with not missing moments and adding to the final image count and the artistry of your selection of images. I only work with a selected few established, experienced and award winning documentary photographers, in order to provide the same level of quality throughout your whole set of images. If you can make your budget work, definitely get a second photographer.
What if you get sick or have an emergency?
I am part of an amazing network of wedding photographers that support each other with emergencies and I will do my best to find a great photographer to replace me if needed.
How do we book you?
I believe having a conversation so we can see if I am the right photographer for you is very beneficial. We can schedule a videocall to get to know each other and see if we are a good match. Then I will prepare an official quote, my terms and conditions and an invoice for a flat booking fee of 300€. Once these are signed and payed for, your wedding date is booked.
