It is not possible to describe in words how talented Kim is. She is extremely passionate about her work and does it in a very professional manner. The conversations prior to the wedding went smoothly and there was an immediate click. If you want timeless, editorial photos of the most beautiful day of your life then Kim is truly the right person. She has an eye for detail and takes pictures at the right time, it's all about the seconds, and she knows where to be at what time.
Thank you Kim. Super happy we decided to have you!

When it came to preserving the most magical moments of our special day, we couldn't have asked for a better artist/photographer than Kim Captein.
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!

We got married in October in Ibiza and we were extremely lucky to have Kim with us to capture the three day event. Not only was she extremely professional, she also made us completely relaxed standing in front of the camera. We had so much fun working with her during the weekend and couldn't be happier to have chosen her as our wedding photographer. Everyone we have shared the pictures with told us that this photoshoot is coming straight out of Vogue or a fashion shoot. We can HIGHLY recommend Kim for your wedding, or any other event. We wish we could work more often with her. Thank you so much again!!!

We are so grateful that Kim was our wedding photographer. She photographed our wedding in France for the entire weekend even better than we had hoped for. We wanted a reflection of memories, emotions and people, and that's exactly what she did. Somehow Kim manages to be everywhere at the same time at once (must be magic, we're not sure how she does it).

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!

We had a phenomenal experience with Kim. She was a delight to work with, very accommodating, and I’m truly in awe of her work. She put us in creative settings and took so many photos full of life. She’s incredible!

Woorden kunnen niet beschrijven hoe dierbaar de foto’s zijn die Kim heeft gemaakt tijdens ons huwelijk in Toscane! Ze zijn nog mooier dan ik had gehoopt. De sfeer, de emoties en de liefde is ontzettend voelbaar voor ons. Het is een feest om al onze vrienden en familie terug te zien en ons weekend weer te herbeleven. Daarnaast is het een feestje om met haar samen te werken! Dankjewel lieve Kim!

We could not have wished for a better person to capture our wedding weekend in Tuscany, Italy! First of all, Kim is an amazing person and a true addition to the wedding all by herself. Her calming energy and kind nature really helped calm down those (pre)wedding nerves and to relax us during the shoots. She manages to capture the moments that really matter, like a fly on the wall! True documentary style photography, but with an editorial flair to the results. Not only did she capture wonderful and intimate moments between me and my husband, she also did an amazing job at capturing all of the fun and happy moments between us and our guests. I also loved seeing all of the moments we were not present for, that she captured beautifully, such as our guests mingling and enjoying themselves. We cannot thank her enough for capturing all these wonderful memories with such authenticity and beauty! The pictures really represent all the best of our wedding weekend and just looking at them brings us right back there. Truly such a treasure to have these pictures to look back on for all the years to come! We would choose Kim a thousand times over to capture our special moments!

About

Kim Captein
Photographer Kim Captein About me

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.
