WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER THE HAGUE

Honest, authentic and meaningful wedding photography in The Hague that tells the story of who you are.

Awarded in the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands and TOP 20 storytellers worldwide. Available throughout the country, 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.

MORE ABOUT ME

WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE HAGUE?

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? ME NEITHER!

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 be ranked among the TOP 10 wedding photographers in the Netherlands and TOP 20 storytellers worldwide.

KIND WORDS

“Theo is an INCREDIBLY talented wedding photographer and sweet human being. My husband and I are both documentary filmmakers and we were so, so happy with the story she told through the photos she made of our wedding day. So many of the photos she made for us could be award-winning images in-and-of themselves. She is unbelievably skilled at staying in the background and not calling attention to herself. The experience was total pleasure.“

JAMIE & PIET

“Words can’t describe how good Theo is and what a professional yet personal service she provides. Anything you could worry about she will put at ease. Not only did she capture so many beautiful moments at our wedding, she did it in absolute style. Theo felt like a wedding guest with how she blended in and how she treated us and our friends and family. If you’re questioning whether or not to hire Theo, stop and book her now before your dates are gone because she is truly the best!“

MARGOT & JOHN

“We are very happy that we chose Theo as our wedding photographer. During the day, Theo did not stand out, while she managed to capture all the most beautiful moments! Her documentary way of photographing makes you relive every moment of the day. The photos look very realistic, with vibrant colours (not filter-like) and beautiful light. Theo is flexible, proactive and, in our case, LGBTIQ+ friendly. I would definitely recommend her as a wedding photographer.“

JEROEN & MATTHIEU

“Both my husband and I are very picky when it comes to wedding photos. We don't like to pose and we think it's important to capture the setting, mood and people as they are. Theo listened to all of our requests and did exactly that, but better! We felt very comfortable with her being around us and didn't even notice her running around the wedding venue. When we need a photographer for another big event, we will definitely come back to Theo!“

MAYRA & ANTHONY

“Finding a reliable wedding photographer in the Netherlands can be just as challenging as organizing your wedding. Especially being a photo critic like me. However, Theo made it easy! She knew how to deal with our insecurities and was a joy having around. Her documentary style photos provide us a picture perfect memory of our wedding day. Her view of photography and off the beaten track photography, have surprised me positively! In addition, I've never seen a wedding album that pretty and it's ours.“

LISA & DENNIS

“Theo captured our wedding so beautifully. Memories for life! She captured every important moment in a way that you didn't even notice! this is just art. Forever grateful Theo!“

FLEUR & MICHEL

“I really recommend working with Theo, for every occasion! She is a great person and a great wedding photographer. We consider ourselves very lucky in choosing her for our wedding. She listened to us very carefully and accommodated all our needs and requests. The pictures and albums are beyond anything we had ever expected! She managed to capture our most beautiful and emotional moments in a very natural way.“

KLAUDYNA & MICHIEL

“Theo was awesome!! She photographed our wedding in the Netherlands and all the details and emotions she captured speak to me even months after the event! She is really talented and all my family appreciated her work (they've attended many weddings so they've seen the work of many photographers). She didn't make us pose unnaturally, but actually created a context where we could just be ourselves and the pictures ended up great!“

OANA & EVERTH

“We asked her to be our wedding photographer considering her track record and we loved her style. We were so stunned by all the amazing pictures she took that day! Her photos are very capable of telling hidden stories. Theo is considerate of any requests and makes sure she has the same understanding as the clients. We felt very comfortable with her around and found her to be very mindful of service after. We highly recommend her services and we will ask her again for coming events!“

JENNIFER & WAIMAN

“Working with Theo was great. She is an absolutely incredible photographer and storyteller who takes beautiful photos without you even noticing she is there. She makes you feel at ease while shooting and we were super happy with her preparation, photos and aftercare. I recommend her 100% as my family and friends all loved the photos.“

FAQ

What experience do you have as a wedding photographer? How many weddings have you documented?

With over 15 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of embarking on a remarkable journey. My dedication to the art of storytelling through photography has garnered international recognition. 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 by This is Reportage.

Beyond capturing moments, I've embraced the role of a judge in prestigious photography competitions and shared insights as a speaker at photography conferences. Throughout my career, I've had the honor of documenting more than 400 weddings, each a unique chapter in the beautiful tapestry of love stories.

How would you describe your style? Do we have to pose for photos? Will we have 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.

Do you do destination weddings?

Yes, I do! I travel all over Europe and around the world. I’ve photographed in Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, UK, the Caribbean and I'm open to new adventures.

What is your delivery time?

The delivery timeframe for your images and the proposal for your album design is up to 8 weeks. This timeframe can vary based on the volume of projects I'm working on during that period. During the off-season, such as winter, the delivery can be expedited, sometimes taking as little as 2 weeks. Regardless of the season, I'm committed to providing you with a sneak peek of your cherished moments just a few days after your wedding.

How about prints and albums?

In today's digital age, I firmly believe that the one thing worth printing is our cherished photographs. That's why I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to transform their important memories into beautiful albums. To support this, I include an album in all of my wedding packages, offering you a range of album options to choose from. 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 the inclusion of a second photographer to enrich your visual narrative.

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 emergencies. 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 special day with the same dedication and expertise.

What are the steps to follow for securing our date?

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.
