Becoming a wedding photographer 9 years ago was the best decision I ever made. With a background in fashion as a professional model, I’ve always been busy with photography. I quickly found that taking photographs was my thing. Deeply driven, I pour my whole heart into creating stories for my clients, and my love for photography has only grown. It’s an inspiring, ongoing process. As a real city girl I have been living in Amsterdam for more then 17 years, although I love to wander into nature and explore beautiful new places and faces. Therefore I feel incredible lucky to photograph wonderful people at weddings all over the world. I’m a true optimist, in love with outdoor sessions with my family and good Italian food. I’m always searching for ways to develop myself and am continually inspired by art, fashion, architecture, and cinema.

Thank you Kim. Super happy we decided to have you!
From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our stunning wedding photos, Kim far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm, approachable, and professional; she took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every shot captured the essence of our love story. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and her ability to effortlessly blend creativity with authenticity truly set her apart. She even went as far as to record our ceremony on her phone (we didn’t have a videographer, so this is our only video of the day), truly going above and beyond.
Kim is not just a photographer; she is a storyteller, weaving the most beautiful narrative of love and celebration through her lens. If you are looking for someone to capture your special moments with unparalleled skill and passion, we wholeheartedly recommend Kim. She will not just meet your expectations; she will exceed them, leaving you with timeless mementos of your most cherished memories. Thank you Kim!
She has captured every angle, every person, every moment so beautifully. We're both not very comfortable in front of a camera but somehow she still managed to instruct and help us so that we got gorgeous pictures we will cherish for life. We cannot thank her enough for capturing our big day(s) in a way we will forever enjoy looking at (and it isn't just our bias, many of our guests were truly impressed by the pictures she has made).
On the more practical side, Kim is super easygoing, sweet and flexible. She really takes initiative, comes up with good ideas and is a pleasure to have around. Before the wedding we had a few meetings and calls where she really took the time and effort to get to know us well and understand our wishes which really reflected during the weekend too. She knew exactly where to be, what to do, who to speak to, while being nearly invisible. All in all: we could not recommend her more and can't wait to work with her again for other special occasions in the future!
