Welcome to the website of Maertens-Photography.

Here you can find the wedding photographer in the south of the Netherlands best known for its service and personal attention. A photographer with a passion for his work, attention to detail and who shows that a professional wedding coverage does not necessarily has to be expensive.

Your wedding pictures should be an investment that over time grows more in emotional value. Photos in which the mood and emotions of the day reflect and where you get all the digital photos on DVD.

My reports are characterized by an informal photographic record of the day as it is experienced by you. With you as the center, but also with attention to guests, details and the beautiful moments of the day.

 

Let me begin by congratulating you on your upcoming wedding!

Choosing the photographer. Something that has to be done and which is difficult enough. You can do several things.

Ask a handy brother or uncle to take the pictures and you save a mountain of money. The photos will not have that special touch, but it was a friendly price. It assumes that the pictures work. If they fail, you will not look too bad to have a friendship wasted.

Someone knows someone who has a nice camera and who will take the pictures for you. The price is usually still on the spicy side, but with any luck some nice photos will be made.

Money is no object and you arrange a known professional with status and fame. From € 900, - prices start, but that's no problem.

You play it safe, want the best of several worlds (an affordable price and beautiful photographs that are well finished), so you call or email me.

Why the tough intro? Too often i am annoyed with the prices charged when the final product does not equal the price paid. A wedding is expensive enough (tell me about it ..) and it turns out for many people and companies to be a cow which has to give every drop of milk it has. Often you only get a selection of photos while there may be much nicer pictures taken, or you get the photos only "web format" so they can not be printed.

So, will i record the happiest day of your life? Quality is of course indisputable, but the cost is equally important. If the price appeals to you, we can try to make an appointment for a first introduction or get in contact otherwise.

 

The opinion

Choose carefully the photographer. He and any videographer are the only ones who can give you tangible memories of your big day.

Money is not the only factor. Is the photographer only there to shoot, or will he be there for you?
Photography Maertens-state beside you and is always close on your day.

Choose a photographer you also can have fun with.

 

Wedding

Sure 9 out of 10 times i am starting my morning with the bride and her preparation.

Depending on your wishes, I am a part of the day or all day with you. This latest until 22.00 hours. However, I will never look half hours.

I'll keep a close eye on you (and guests) and will be continuous close around you. But I'm not running around like crazy and go asking for your attention during ceremonies.

Attention should be given to you, not me.

*With all packages you get all digital photo's burned on CD / DVD.

 

We get?

All digital "negatives"!
You read it right, you get all the original files with high resolution format: 30x45cm on DVD. This is pretty unusual with other photographers in. Whether it's 100 photographs I made of 600. You get them all!
Most wedding photographers charge a fixed price report but afterwards you pay separate for the photos. A small photograph sometimes cost 4 euros each, increasing to 80 euros!
The report price seems low, but you will be scared when you place back orders for prints...

The delivered formats are large enough to:

Print your own photos.
You can give your family a CD or DVD with the best pictures, no more hassle with backordering.
You can put photos on the Internet or mail to friends.
You can create your own photo book. The provided resolution is high enough.
I prefer to have larger sizes printed by me. This to guarantee the quality of larger sizes.

A whole day's shooting!
Depending on your wishes, I am all day at your disposal.

A neat handling!
My goal is to get the DVD to you within 2 to 3 weeks. If desired, I will place some photos on a restricted internet site. The link of this will be given only to you.

A good price!
For convenience and clarity, because I love both sides I use the 4 packages of wedding photography. This price is including all the hidden costs like mileage often (to 30 km around my hometown Klimmen, postalcode 6343! Above 0.26 ct / km), seems to me quite "all in".

I demand a deposit of € 50, - upon reservation. If canceled, this amount is not refundable. This because the date (and time) is exclusively reserved for you. The remaining amount you may transfer after receiving the CD / DVD.

On assignments outside the Netherlands of course costs fo travel and stay will be added.

Why this page in English? Doing wedding photography outside the Netherlands is no longer strange to me.
