Where it started

It all began for me in 2014, when I got married myself.

My first real experience of wedding photography – and one that immediately set something in motion. Our photographer showed me what images can do.

What began as curiosity has grown into something I now do with love every day. What I felt there is exactly what I’m now trying to capture for others.
Since then, I have been to more than 300 weddings, and it still feels like this is exactly the place where everything comes together.

Love, emotion, aesthetics and storytelling that leaves a lasting impression.

About Wedding Photographer Angela

Personal

Gideon and I have been together since 2011 and got married in 2014. We live on a country lane next to the woods, in the middle of nowhere: Bant. Together with our two cats and a collection of houseplants that has now got rather out of hand. Our house is starting to look more and more like a little jungle.

Travelling is an important part of my life. Whether it’s for destination weddings or, just as much, for personal trips. We head out into the countryside in our 4×4 Land Cruiser. Sleeping in a roof tent, having a shower by a well and gathering wood for a campfire. Lovely.

But you’re just as likely to find me at a gala, a fancy party or anywhere I can really dress up. From mud on my shoes to glitz and glamour. I love them both.

Curaçao also holds a special place in our hearts. Gideon grew up there, and we love returning there for the warmth, the atmosphere and the island lifestyle.

And then there are my friends. Games nights, long dinners, dancing until late and the occasional girls’ trip to an inspiring destination. Not everything has to be a big deal to feel special.

I love adventure, places with character, lovely people around me and, above all, enjoying things together. Enjoying life, in all its different forms.

captured in a timeless image.

Shapes & Shadows

My love of photography doesn’t stop at weddings. Since 2018, I have also been the founder of Shapes & Shadows, my boudoir photography brand that brings together femininity, vulnerability, strength and aesthetics. Using light and shadow, I create artistic images that focus on the human body.

I also have a great passion for underwater photography. It’s a completely different world where movement, light and weightlessness create almost surreal images. It calls for experimentation, creativity and, at times, a good dose of patience. That’s exactly what I love about it.

These different forms of photography complement one another. I also incorporate the artistic eye, the play with light and the focus on emotion into my wedding photography. Whether it’s weddings or boudoir photography, for me it ultimately comes down to images that are not only beautiful, but also evoke a feeling.
