My Approach

check! Personal approach: “Before the wedding, we get to know each other; we’ll go over your wishes and the schedule so I know exactly which moments are most important. On the big day, I’ll be relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to fully immerse yourselves in the moment.”

check! Fast delivery: “You’ll receive a preview within two working days, and the complete online gallery within four weeks. Every package includes a luxurious, handcrafted wedding album.”

check! Worldwide availability: “From Nederweert to Dubai and even Los Angeles, I love to travel to capture your love story. Get in touch for destination wedding options.”

Your wedding is one of a kind, and that should be reflected in your photos. From the first look to the last dance, I capture the day as it truly was – including the spontaneous, funny, and emotional moments. My wedding photography is more than just pretty pictures; it’s a reflection of your love and the magic of your day.

“From the moment you first see each other to the cake that might’ve toppled over. It’s all about real stories, not just perfect shots.”

“What does a Wedding Photographer Cost?”

A common question I get is, “What are the costs involved when hiring a wedding photographer?”
The price can vary widely depending on factors such as the number of hours of coverage, the quality of post-processing, and the photographer’s experience. What you’re looking for plays a big role in the overall investment.

At Eppel Photography, I offer customizable packages to suit different needs and budgets. In the Netherlands, couples typically spend around 8–15% of their total wedding budget on photography. When considering a price, it’s important to think about what you’ll receive in return. If you choose to go with a much cheaper photographer, the real question becomes: are you willing to risk missing those once-in-a-lifetime moments due to a lack of experience or poor planning?

A common inquiry posed to me is, “What are the cost incurred when hiring a photographer for the wedding?”
The cost of hiring a wedding photographer widely varies due to reasons like the coverage hours required, quality of post processing needed and the experience of the photographer. There’s a significant amount of variability based on what you wish for.

I have customizable packages available at Eppel Photography, so there’s something tailored for everyone. Usually in the Netherlands, the price of a wedding photographer is between 8-15% of your total wedding budget. Various factors should be weighed when determining if a specific price is an appropriate one, including what can be gained in return. If you compromise pricing and decide to hire a photographer who charges comparatively lower, then the question arises, are you willing to let go of cherished moments due to improper management by the photographer?
