I find stories in the meeting of people and place

The gradual hush before a ceremony. The way an old room holds the light. The secret look between the two of you.

 I photograph what unfolds, then work with you to make portraits with shape and feeling. A little movement, an unexpected crop, even a quiet expression will always say more than a static pose ever could. 

I want your gallery to have range

 and feel beautifully bespoke to the two of you

Before weddings, I was learning to look

Long before I picked up a camera at a wedding, I was writing songs. I loved turning something I felt into something another person could feel, too. I studied physiotherapy, then realised I needed to spend my days making things. Interior design, home staging and photography taught me to notice texture, composition and the way light can change a room. At weddings, that eye finds a new subject: people, unpredictable and completely themselves.

Stories by Naet comes from a nickname my sister gave me as a child. I live in Zeist with my rescue dog, Jack. I love good food and travel, make big decisions on impulse and spend far too long choosing the small things. I’m an introvert who feels things deeply, which is why I probably will tear up during your vows.
