Who are de Bruidsgasten?
"Bruidsgasten" Dutch term for, "wedding guests".
Hej, we are Niels and Lieke, a passionate, creative couple, living the off grid dream in Spain. Niels has a technical mind while Lieke is a natural entrepreneur, but together we make the perfect team. We fell in love with photography and weddings and ever since, we've been capturing precious moments just like Cupid. When we're not behind the lens, we're exploring the world on our motorcycles, taking long walks with our retired K9 Joop or enjoying the little things in life in Spain or the Netherlands.
Our love for wedding photography has brought us to the most beautiful weddings and we can't get enough of it. Based in Spain and Leiden, we travel all over Europe.
The most beautiful day, intimate moments, the excitement, the loving glances, the stunning locations, yes, we live for this! From various perspectives, we capture all the emotions of your day. We love pure, candid, and unscripted photography. We use the coolest gadgets and latest techniques, and we're friendly and easy to work with.
We get energy from people, from fun couples and guests, from weddings and from the connection we have with you. Are you getting married abroad? No problem, we love to travel!
