Portret Mariette

Capturing life’s most precious moments, from cozy hugs to sweet stolen glances. | Info & bookings👇🏻 Hey hey! Let's get in touch!

Ik ben Marijke, het (glimlachende) gezicht achter Portret Mariette en gepassioneerde lifestyle- en huwelijksfotografe. Het is sterker dan mezelf – klanten vertellen me vaak dat ik straal als ik achter mijn camera sta. Ik hou van wat ik doe, en dat zie je blijkbaar meteen. ツ

Fotografie is voor mij zoveel meer dan gewoon een mooie foto maken. Het gaat om échte emoties, spontane blikken en die klein

e aanrakingen die jullie verhaal vertellen. Momenten die je voor altijd wil koesteren – dát is waar het voor mij om draait. Als kind liep ik al rond met een wegwerpcamera, en toen ik mama werd, groeide mijn passie alleen maar meer. Ondertussen heb ik mijn eigen stijl ontwikkeld: lichte, warme en zachte tinten die een tijdloze sfeer oproepen. Kiezen voor mij betekent foto’s die oprecht en persoonlijk aanvoelen, helemaal zoals jullie zijn. Naast fotografe ben ik mama van twee lieve dochters en werk ik als kleuterjuf. Ik heb een natuurlijke connectie met kinderen, en ik weet dat ze vaak niet stil willen zitten of maar een korte aandachtsspanne hebben. Maar dat is net de charme – ik laat ze gewoon spelen en plezier maken. Voor mij draait het om het vastleggen van wie jullie écht zijn, in het moment. Of je nu een gezellige gezinsshoot plant of toeleeft naar jullie huwelijksdag, het draait altijd om die pure, oprechte momenten. Elke bruiloft heeft zijn eigen magie en verdient foto's die jullie liefde op een natuurlijke en authentieke manier weergeven. Van een intense blik tot een spontane lach – ik zorg ervoor dat geen enkel waardevol moment verloren gaat. Maar genoeg over mij... Ik kijk ernaar uit om jou te leren kennen! Ben je klaar om jouw mooie herinneringen vast te laten leggen? Ik ben benieuwd naar jullie verhaal en wat ik voor jullie kan betekenen. I'm only an e-mail away! 📧 [email protected]

Liefs,
Marijke

Somewhere along the way, I became obsessed with preserving the feeling of things.

Which honestly explains a lot:
why I get emotionally attached to old photographs and still believe there’s something beautiful about people loving each other deeply. ✨

So… if you’re new here, this feels like the perfect moment to properly introduce myself.

I’m Marijke. Photographer, mama of two girls and somehow still living out my teenage love story.

Fun fact: when I was 16, I somehow ended up participating in a beauty contest (still questioning that decision), and the jury suddenly asked me:
“What fairytale do you believe in?”

And without even thinking, I answered:
“True love.”

A little dramatic maybe… but honestly? I still believe in people choosing each other, over and over again.

After losing my dad and becoming a mum myself, photographs started meaning something completely different to me.

Time suddenly feels like it slips through your hands so quickly.

I think that’s why I care so deeply about photographs now.

Not just because they’re beautiful, but because they allow us to hold onto moments, people and feelings a little longer.

So yes, I’m probably emotionally attached to my camera at this point. 🙃

But honestly?
I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Well… I feel like I just shared half my personality on the internet, so now it’s your turn.

Tell me something about you.
Or ask me anything you’d like to know.

Love,
Mary

P.S.: I sometimes feel like I’m living in a Billie Eilish song, haha.

There’s something special about seeing an entire wedding story come to life through thoughtful details, beautiful styling and genuine connection ✨

From the first floral touches to the candlelit dinner setting, every corner of Kasteel Blauwhuis felt filled with warmth, elegance and intention.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels refined, intimate and full of atmosphere, this venue truly is something special.

Sometimes, you walk into a room and leave with so much more than you expected.

Way Up North in Florence was my very first photography conference.
Somehow, I kept finding my way back.

A few days surrounded by insanely talented people, inspiring talks, beautiful storytelling and conversations that stayed with me long after coming home.

During those talks, my head genuinely starts overflowing with ideas. New perspectives, fresh inspiration, little creative sparks everywhere.

It also leaves me with a growing wishlist of camera gear, new shoot ideas and an even bigger urge to travel more.

But some of my favourite moments actually happen in between everything else.

Slow mornings and shared lunches.
Dinners that turn into deep conversations, crazy karaoke nights, wooden banana parties & midnight talks that somehow last for hours.

And more than anything, gave me new friendships.

The kind where you can simply pick up the thread again months later, as if no time has passed at all.

Maybe that’s also why I love this photo so much.
Everything moving around us, while certain people suddenly feel like home.

Without even noticing it at first, it also helped me get to know myself a little better.

And honestly… finding that version of yourself in a room full of strangers who somehow don’t feel like strangers at all? That’s pretty special ✨

I’ve always loved arriving early on a wedding day.

The quiet atmosphere in the morning,
the anticipation slowly building,
everyone gently moving through those first moments of the day.

While the bride gets ready,
I move naturally between it all,
capturing emotions, interactions and fleeting in-between moments,
while also taking time to photograph the details that help tell the story of the day.

The stationery, flowers, jewellery,
the carefully chosen pieces that carry meaning.

Sometimes they quietly honour the people deeply missed on such a special day.

These beautiful details are the opening lines of the story.

And honestly…
I think those slow beginnings will always be one of my favourite parts of a wedding day.

Don’t you just love how photos can take you back in time…
bringing back all the memories?

This one takes me to exactly one year ago.

A fleeting scene, full of trust, joy
and just a hint of chaos. ✨

Captured in the south of France,
surrounded by guests who travelled from near and far
Belgium, New York, and beyond.

While assisting on a beautiful wedding day,
we gently split our paths
each of us following the moments as they unfolded,
so nothing would be missed.

Those in-between stories…
they’ll always have my heart.

Soft, real, and quietly unforgettable.

Not just to see the city,
but to experience it together

The little moments
The way they see things
The memories you didn’t plan

These are the ones that stay

And if you’d love to have these moments captured…
I’d love to come along

✨ Save this for later

Some stories don’t end when the wedding day is over.

A while ago, I photographed this beautiful celebration in Tuscany,
a few days filled with slow moments, long tables under the sun and that soft Italian light I keep coming back to.

Seeing these images and thoughts come together again in a feature by Venus in the Sun feels really special 🤍

Raquel captured the essence of those days in such a thoughtful and honest way
not just the visuals, but the feeling behind it.

If you’d like to read the full story, you can find it here:

This is exactly why I love destination weddings so much
not just a single day, but days of shared life, connection and slowing down.

You live the day. I’ll catch the magic. ✨

Somewhere in Verona,
where love stories have been told time and time again,
a dress waits for its story to begin.

On a quiet patio,
bathed in soft morning light,
where the air feels warm and still.

In Italy, everything feels just a little different.
The light, the pace, the way a day unfolds so naturally.

Moments stretch a little longer,
laughter drifts through the air,
and love feels both effortless and deeply present.

That’s where I feel most at ease,
fueled by love stories
and a glass of Pinot Grigio.
