& Sifra

Young love, deep faith, and a bright August afternoon.
Faith / sunlight / laughter / devotion
A faith-filled wedding in Dordrecht

A love lit by faith.

Ben and Sifra’s wedding was filled with light, love and faith. The morning began with quiet anticipation as they prepared separately, surrounded by family and friends, slowly moving toward the moment they would finally see each other at the church.

Their ceremony was deeply personal, shaped by meaningful words, music and a strong sense of faith. Afterwards, the day opened into bright summer light and greenery at Landschapstuin ’t Struweel, where the celebration felt warm, relaxed and full of joy.

Your story does not need to look like anyone else’s.

I photograph weddings with space for the unscripted - the gestures, pauses and atmosphere that make the day feel entirely yours.
