Journalistic wedding photography.

The real story of your wedding, captured by experienced storytellers. As journalistic wedding photographers, we specialize in capturing those unexpected, precious moments that make your wedding unique.

The art of observation

What makes journalistic wedding photography so special? It’s all about the art of observation. We are not just there for the big moments – the vows, the first dance, the cutting of the cake – but rather for those small, intimate moments that together tell the complete story of your day:

  • The excitement during the preparations.
  • The tear secretly shed by a proud father.
  • A toast with all your friends.
  • A grandmother’s embrace.
  • The niece who secretly tastes the wedding cake.

We capture these authentic moments in an unobtrusive way, as if we were present as guests of the day.

Why choose journalistic wedding photography?

Your wedding is more than a series of posed photos. It's a day full of emotion, wonder and happiness that becomes more valuable every year. Because of our journalistic approach:
- Can you be fully in the moment, without constant posing.
- You get an authentic image report of the whole day.
- Capture the unexpected, funny and touching moments.
- The photos together tell the complete story of your love.
- You will still have natural, timeless images 25 years from now.

Our approach as journalistic wedding photographers

We work according to the“fly on the wall” principle: present but invisible. Through our years of experience, we know exactly when to anticipate special moments. We move quietly through the space and capture the spontaneous interactions, the unexpected emotions and the small details that together tell the bigger story.

Of course, there are also moments when we accompany you, such as during the photo shoot. Then we help you pose relaxed and create a moment of calm where you can really be with each other. But most of the day we are observing storytellers, capturing the pure emotions and real moments.

Who are we?

We first walked hand in hand in Utrecht where Laurette lived at the time. Along the canal we ate a Dutch "pepernoten" pie and voilá: our love blossomed! Eventually we ended up in Apeldoorn, near our families.

Marvin started wedding photography 13 years ago. His enthusiasm was so contagious that Laurette started photographing as well and now we are 400 weddings down the road. As a married couple, we know better than anyone how valuable a wedding day is, which is why we have been passionately capturing love stories for others for years.

We are both full wedding photographers, so we usually work separately. Would you like to have two photographers at your wedding? Then, of course, we come together!

Usually our brides and grooms find us through-via, sometimes through Google and sometimes ... have been on the basketball court with each other for years :).

Is a journalistic wedding photographer right for your wedding?

With the wedding photos we take, we tell the story of your wedding. For a story with a beginning, middle and end, we prefer to photograph from the preparations to the party. On average, we spend between 8 and 12 hours during a wedding for this purpose.

During our first meeting, we will discuss your wishes and planning for the wedding. Based on that, we will give you an advice for the best interpretation of your wedding reportage. Are you excited, then one of us will be your wedding photographer!

If you would like to know more about our methods and availability, please feel free to contact us.
