Two photographers
One stays with you, one works the room. Nothing important gets missed while you are being photographed.
Weddings and celebrations
Wedding & event photography
Telihano covers weddings across the Netherlands, from a registry office in Delft to a full weekend in a Friesland barn. Two photographers, no shot list read off a clipboard, and a gallery you can send to your family within three weeks. We stay out of the way and catch the faces people actually make.
The day itself
We follow the day, we do not run it
Nobody wants a photographer who turns the reception into a photo shoot. We hang back, shoot what happens, and step in only when you ask for the group pictures.
A typical booking starts with the morning prep and runs to the first dance, sometimes later. The two of us work in parallel so one can stay with the couple while the other covers the room, the kids, the grandparents and the food.
We shoot in whatever light the venue gives us. Church light, a dark bar, a beach at eight in the evening. Flash comes out when it has to, but we would rather keep the mood than flatten it.
Quiet coverage
No constant posing and no interrupting the speeches. We work behind the guests and take the picture when it happens.
A gallery you can share
A private online album with a download link you can pass to family in the same week.

Venues we have worked in
Two photographers, one set, the light already up
Behind the camera
A pair, not a solo act
Working as two means we can split up without losing the thread. One of us stays close during the ceremony, the other covers the wide shots and the reactions in the back rows.
Both of us have shot more than two hundred weddings, so the timing is instinct by now. We know when the rings come out, when the confetti goes up and when the speech is about to land.
- Backup bodies and cards on every booking
- Silent shutter through the ceremony
- Second shooter included, never an extra
- Dutch and English spoken on the day
- Travel across the Netherlands included up to 80 km

How a booking runs
From first email to finished album
From the first message to the finished gallery, here is how a booking actually moves.
01
First call
We talk through the date, the venue and what matters to you. Twenty minutes is usually enough to know whether we fit.
02
Hold the date
A 25 percent deposit takes the day off the calendar for you and your partner. No contract maze, one page.
03
Planning walk
We visit the venue or check the light times, then agree roughly where the group shots happen and who needs to be in them.
04
Prep and ceremony
One of us starts with the morning prep, the other meets the guests. Silent shutter through the ceremony, both angles covered.
05
Reception
Speeches, first dance and the party itself. We stay for the agreed hours and shoot the room as it fills up and slows down.
06
Edit and deliver
Culling, colour work and a private gallery you can pass on. Family can download the full set for a year.

Before you book
The usual questions
Anything missing? Send an email and we will answer honestly, even when the answer is no.
Send us the questionWe shoot abroad several times a year. Flights and one night's stay are added to the package at cost, with nothing else tacked on.
We look at the room beforehand when we can, and we bring fast lenses plus a small on-camera light that only comes out when the floor is really black.
Yes, and we will honour it. Keep it short though. A list of forty staged pictures takes over the day and the photos show it.
We set aside twenty to thirty minutes for family, usually right after the ceremony while the guests are still in one place. Any longer and people start drifting to the bar.
A full day returns six hundred or more edited frames. We do not pad the gallery and we do not cut the ones where somebody blinks in the middle of a speech.
The gallery has a print shop built in. Relatives order at their own cost and the prints go straight to their address.
