Photos that let you feel your day all over again

Meaningful wedding photo that reflects the feeling of the day - Photos by Ville

Your wedding day is full of moments you never want to forget — not just the big emotional highs, but also the quiet, meaningful in-betweens. That’s why you’re not just looking for “nice photos.” You want images that take you back. That make you feel: Yes, this was exactly it.

You're getting married — and you want a photographer who really gets you. Someone who listens, pays attention to what matters to you, and captures it with care. Someone who blends into the day without being in the way, but never misses a thing.

You might not love being in front of the camera — and that’s totally okay. Most couples tell me the same. My goal is to create a relaxed, natural vibe so you can just be yourselves and enjoy the day. Often, you won’t even notice I’m there — and that’s when the best photos happen.

What couples say

My approach — calm, personal, and with care

A smooth and stress-free experience starts with trust. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, understand what’s important to you, and make sure everything around the photography is thoughtfully prepared — so you can feel confident and fully enjoy your day.

Before the wedding

  • We begin with a personal introduction — either online or in person near Amersfoort
  • Curious about the wedding albums? I’ll gladly bring a few for you to see and feel
  • Once we confirm the booking, I’ll reserve your date and send over the contract
  • A few weeks before your wedding, we’ll go over your timeline and all key details together
  • Need to adjust something or have extra questions? I’m always just a message or quick call away

 

That way, everything starts with peace and confidence - so you can fully focus on what really matters.

On your wedding day

  • I move with your day naturally and attentively — present, but never intrusive
  • No forced posing or staged moments — just gentle direction when helpful
  • During portraits, I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural and effortless while ensuring the results look their best

 

The goal is for you to enjoy every moment, knowing that everything meaningful is being captured with care.

After the wedding

  • Within 4 days: a small preview to relive the first moments
  • Within 4 weeks: your full gallery, beautifully edited and ready in your private online space
  • You’ll choose your favorite photos for the album — I’ll create the first layout
  • We’ll refine the design together until it’s a perfect reflection of your day

 

This way, you will not only get beautiful photos, but a tangible memory you can dive into again and again.

Is this for you?

Most couples who book me say things like:

Whether you’re getting married in Amersfoort, somewhere else in the Netherlands, or planning your wedding from abroad — I’ll capture your day as it truly happened, with attention to connection, emotion, and all the little things that matter.

About me
— capturing weddings with heart and attention

I’m Ville — originally from Finland, now living in Amersfoort with my Dutch wife Margot (we met at a yoga retreat in Portugal). We celebrated our own wedding in Mallorca — a place that’s become a second home and a big part of my destination work.

Photography became my passion through years of travel — first with landscapes and places, then more and more with people and emotion. Weddings, to me, are the perfect mix of storytelling, beauty, connection, and creativity.

I’ve photographed weddings all over the Netherlands and in Mallorca — for Dutch couples, expats, and international pairs. Whether you’re planning an intimate city celebration, a countryside weekend, or a sunny destination wedding, I’ll be there with calm focus and care.

I work with calm focus and care — no fuss, no stiff posing, no overdone edits. Just images that truly reflect you, carefully edited and delivered in top quality. So you can keep coming back to what made your day so special.

Wedding albums — your story in print

Digital galleries are great — but nothing beats holding your memories in your hands.

Each album is made with high-quality materials and fully tailored to your story. You choose your favorite images, I’ll create the first layout, and we’ll shape it together until it’s perfect.

The result? A timeless keepsake that brings you right back to your day, every time you open it.

Add-on: Wedding video

Photos capture the story beautifully — but video adds a little something extra.

This short 2–3 minute highlight film is crafted from beautiful video clips captured throughout the day and set to a song of your choice. It’s a simple, powerful way to relive how everything felt — from the quiet glances to the biggest laughs.

Available with any wedding package for €250.

And the video? It brings us to tears every time.

Add-on: Loveshoot

Want to feel more comfortable before the big day — or simply celebrate your love with beautiful photos ahead of the wedding?

A loveshoot is an easy, relaxed session where you can be yourselves and get used to the camera. Perfect for save-the-dates, invitations, or just to mark this chapter.

Together with a wedding package: €197 (up to 2 hours). If you want to do a loveshoot without booking a wedding package, the cost is €347.

The love shoot prior to the wedding gave us a good idea of what to expect on our big day. This took away some of the tension and made us feel at ease.

At the end of the day, what lasts are your memories — and the photos that help you relive them.

You’ll get:

  • A calm, personal experience from first call to final delivery

  • Pure, emotional photos that reflect you

  • A photographer who brings peace and clarity

  • Natural, unforced moments — no stiff posing

  • Professional editing that stays true to the day

  • A luxury wedding album that tells your story beautifully

  • A memory you can revisit, not just on screen — but in your hands and heart

Ville was our photographer at our wedding and exceeded all our expectations.

Let’s get to know each other

Choosing your photographer is all about connection. That’s why we always start with a relaxed, no-pressure intro — online or at a cozy café near Amersfoort, whatever suits you.

Tell me about your day, ask your questions, and see if we click.

I speak a bit of Dutch, but I prefer to have these conversations in English — that way I can help you in the best and clearest way.

I’d love to hear your story.

Wedding photography - FAQ

Booking & Payment

To be sure I’m available for your date, I recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance. Reach out as soon as you have a date in mind — no pressure, just a friendly chat to get started.

You can get in touch via my website, Instagram, or email. Once we’ve connected and everything feels like a good fit, I’ll send over a booking agreement and ask for a deposit to secure your date.

Yes — a €150 deposit locks in your date. The rest is paid after the wedding, once you receive your final invoice.

If you cancel more than 45 days before the wedding, the deposit is refunded. Closer to the date, cancellation fees may apply. If something comes up and you need to move the date, I’ll always do my best to accommodate — and if it’s within 45 days, a small extra fee may apply depending on the case.

Yes, travel within the Netherlands is included in my “Complete” package. For other packages, I include up to 100 km from Amersfoort, and charge €0.30/km beyond that. For weddings in Mallorca, travel is fully included.

My Approach & Working Style

I typically arrive about 30–60 minutes before the final touches of getting ready, and stay 30–60 minutes into the dancing. That way, I can capture the full flow of your day without missing the important moments.

Absolutely. Once you’ve booked, we’ll set up a video call (or grab a coffee) to talk through your plans and what matters most to you. I’m also always just a message away if you have questions along the way.

I focus on capturing your day naturally and calmly, without constant direction. My goal is to document all the big emotions and small in-between moments so you can relive the feeling and energy of the day.

Editorial and emotional — timeless images that feel real. I aim for a natural, relaxed atmosphere with genuine connection and movement. No stiff posing, just you being you.

If you have a few must-haves, I’d love to know! But I recommend keeping it simple — the most powerful photos often come from the unscripted moments.

Editing & Delivery

You’ll receive all the best photos from the day — carefully selected and edited in my signature style. For a full-day wedding, this usually means around 700 to 900 images. I go through every photo to ensure the collection truly reflects your day, with natural tones and thoughtful editing.

All photos are delivered in colour. If you’d like, I can also provide around 40 to 50 photos in black & white to add an emotional and timeless touch to your gallery.

You’ll receive a sneak peek within 4 days, and the full gallery within about 4 weeks. Summer and autumn are busier periods, so it can take a bit longer — but I’ll always keep you in the loop.

Small retouching is sometimes possible. Let me know before the wedding if there’s anything specific you’d like adjusted. For more detailed Photoshop work, I’ll give you a custom quote based on what’s needed.

You’ll receive a personal link to a private online gallery, where you can view, download, and share your wedding photos with family and friends.

Wedding Albums

Once you've received your photos, you can choose your favourites and we’ll decide on the album style and size together. I’ll then create the design and share it with you — and we’ll adjust the layout as needed until it really feels right for you. Once you're happy, I’ll place the order.

Yes! You can choose from linen, velvet, or leather covers in a range of colours. You can even personalize the cover with your names in laser-etching or embossing. For paper, I offer Lustre, Matte, Glossy, or the luxurious Pearl Metallic as an upgrade.

The standard album includes 30 spreads. If you'd like more, extra pages can be added for an additional cost.

You can choose between 25 x 25 cm, 25 x 30 cm, or 30 x 30 cm.

No problem! If you prefer not to include an album in your package, you’ll receive a €100 discount.
That said, I highly recommend having an album — there’s something special about holding your wedding story in your hands. It’s a beautiful keepsake you’ll return to again and again.

Other Questions

Yes! While my main focus is photography, I offer a short wedding day highlight film for €250 — edited with music of your choice. A simple way to capture even more of the feeling of the day.

For weddings with over 100 guests or multiple locations, a second photographer can be a great idea. Let me know your plans and I’ll recommend what works best.

I prefer using natural light wherever possible — it gives a softer and more authentic look. But I always bring a flash just in case it’s needed for darker settings or evening dance floors.

English, Spanish, Finnish — and I’m learning Dutch! So whether you’re local, international, or somewhere in between, we’ll understand each other just fine.

Absolutely! Just tag @photos.byville when you do. I put a lot of care into each photo, so I kindly ask you to keep them unfiltered so the colours and vibe stay just as intended.
