WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN THE NETHERLANDS
CAPTURING LOVE STORIES ALL OVER EUROPE
Hi there, I'm Maretha!
PRONOUNCED MAA-REE-TA ;)
A destination wedding photographer who will probably fall in love with your story just as much as you have.
I’m originally from sunny South Africa, but the Netherlands has been home for four years now — and somewhere along the way, Europe completely stole my heart (especially the love stories I get to capture here).
Weddings are, without a doubt, my favourite thing to photograph. It might stem from the fact that I had two weddings — to my same WONDERFUL husband!
There’s something so special about being part of a day filled with emotion, connection, and all your loved ones together.
I’m there to support you, guide you when needed, and make sure you feel completely comfortable — because I also don’t like awkward posing!
I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOU.
Client Reviews
“Where do we even begin? Working with Maretha was an absolute dream. She has this rare gift of making you feel completely at ease — laughing, talking, and barely even noticing the camera — and somehow capturing the most breathtaking, genuine moments in the process.
She came prepared, creative, and full of warmth, making the whole experience feel less like a photoshoot and more like an afternoon with a dear friend. She listened, added her own artistic touch, and truly went above and beyond to make sure every shot was something special.
Beyond her incredible talent, it’s her heart that sets her apart. Kind, patient, and so genuinely invested in the people she photographs — you can feel how much she cares, and it shows in every single image.
We will treasure these photos forever. Book Maretha. You will not regret it.”

Not only are you such a lovely person to work with, but your talent is incredible. The quality of the photos exceeded everything we hoped for, and every picture captured our happiness and the magic of the moment perfectly.
Looking through our photos brings back all the emotions from that day, and we are so grateful for the care and effort you put into every detail. Thank you for making such special memories for us - we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and friend.”

You won’t forget her big smile — it truly brightens up the experience. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone professional and thoughtful!"
