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

Marieke & Mark

‘The photo album has just arrived and we’re so happy. Neither of us really likes having our photo taken, so we looked for a photographer who would make it more fun and relaxed, whilst also matching our style.’

Angela was exactly that, and we couldn’t have been happier with how the photos turned out. What’s more, her approach to her work and her personality only made the experience even better.

She is honest, straightforward, enthusiastic and passionate. We would book her again without a moment’s hesitation.

She knows exactly what she’s doing, gets things done and is also just great fun to be around. We felt completely at ease, and you can see that in the photos. They’re even more beautiful than we’d ever dared to hope for.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Angela will make sure you get the most beautiful photos you could wish for."

Nathy & Chris

"We first met Angela at a friend’s wedding in the Netherlands, about half a year before our own wedding. Just from seeing her at work, it was clear to us that this photographer knew what she was doing. So we spoke to her there and then and suggested the idea of her photographing our wedding in Mexico later that year.

Her photographs are striking, unique, artistic and distinctive in a world full of run-of-the-mill wedding photography. Not only was she willing to travel all the way to Mexico for our wedding, but she was also incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity and did everything she could to make it happen.

She interacted very well with our guests to ensure that everyone looked their best and was clearly visible in the photos.

We really can’t say anything but good things about Angela. Anyone who gets the chance to have her photograph their wedding day is very lucky indeed!"

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.

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.
