Hi, I’m Sandra

Your couple photoshoot with a local

I became a full-time photographer in Amsterdam in 2018. Since then I have photographed 1,500+ happy clients from 75 countries, many of them couples. I speak Spanish, English, French and Dutch, so you feel at ease from the first minute. Couple photoshoots are perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries and city breaks, and they sit between a surprise proposal and an engagement session. No modelling experience needed: I guide you the whole time, so the photos feel relaxed and natural, even if you hate being photographed.

“For anyone looking for an engagement photographer in Amsterdam, Sandra is your girl.”

Had a lovely time getting our engagement couple photos with Sandra. I did a lot of research looking for the right photographer and chose Sandra because I liked the laid back yet romantic quality of her photos. I didn't want something that felt too staged or stiff. She was the perfect fit for us. We immediately felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun shooting around my neighbourhood with her. For anyone looking for an engagement photographer in Amsterdam, Sandra is your girl.

“Sandra was simply amazing.”

Sandra was simply amazing. An awesome human being, a passion-driven photographer. She valued our preferences and was a passionate storyteller and apart from photos helped me to know more about culture and life in Amsterdam. As a photographer, she had an excellent sense of 'angle' and 'frame' which was combined with passion, resulting in an excellent image. Towards the end of the shooting, it was no longer apparent that we were meeting for the first time. Sandra, thank you so much for helping make this Amsterdam photography experience happen for us!

“Has sido la guinda del pastel de un viaje inolvidable!”

Es muy difícil explicar lo gratificante, bonita y divertida que fue para mi pareja y para mi la experiencia que vivimos con Sandra. No podemos definirla como experiencia fotográfica exclusivamente, ni como experiencia turística; ella supo hacernos sentir entre amigas. Su carácter, profesionalidad y personalidad nos hicieron pasar uno de los ratos que jamás olvidaremos de Amsterdam y que, gracias a su trabajo, nos llevamos inmortalizado para el recuerdo. Gracias por las risas, las historias y los consejos. Has sido la guinda del pastel de un viaje inolvidable!

“Ses belles photos nous permettent de repartir avec des souvenirs intemporels.”

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette expérience. Sandra a réussi facilement à nous mettre à l'aise pour notre photoshoot. Très sympathique et professionnelle, elle nous a emmenés dans des endroits charmants et nous a raconté en français et anglais quelques anecdotes sur Amsterdam. Nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer et avons passé un très bon moment en sa compagnie. Ses belles photos nous permettent de repartir avec des souvenirs intemporels. Merci encore pour cette expérience photographique!

“Sandra é uma profissional incrível, amei as fotos que fiz com ela.”

Sandra é uma profissional incrível, amei as fotos que fiz com ela, Querida, simpática fiz a melhor escolha...ela é dedicada e soube entender o que eu queria... Ela conhecia muito sobre a cidade, fatos históricos, curiosidades sobre a cidade, arquitetura e estilo de vida que fizeram tudo ser mais especial. Ela foi muito atenciosa desde antes do encontro (nas direções até o ponto de encontro), durante as fotos, que alem de apenas um ensaio foram um verdadeiro tour por Amsterdā. Recomendo muito...

Your couple photoshoot, step by step

What time do we start? Morning or golden hour. Early mornings give you quiet canals; the hours before sunset give the warmest light. I shoot Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00, and weekends on request (+€75).

Where do we shoot? Depending on your package we visit 1 to 3 places: the Jordaan, a quiet bridge, the Seven Bridges or a park. You get a Google Maps meeting point before the shoot.

We are not photogenic. Is that a problem? Not at all. I give you simple things to do, like walking slowly, whispering something silly or holding hands, and you forget the camera after ten minutes.

Ideas for your couple photoshoot

Honeymoon walk along the canals · anniversary photos at golden hour · a babymoon before the baby arrives · a relaxed morning with coffee in the Jordaan · a private boat for the two of you · a spring day combining Amsterdam with the tulip fields.

What to wear as a couple

Choose colours that go together without matching: cream and soft blue, sage and camel, white and denim. Avoid tiny patterns and big logos. Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones. You get a full What to Wear Guide in your Client Portal.

Couple Photoshoot FAQs

Additional retouched photos

22€ each (excl. VAT) – Basic Retouching

Additional hours shooting

75€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).

150€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).

Weekends & Public Holidays

I typically do not schedule sessions on public holidays, though exceptions may occasionally be made depending on availability and project type.

Weekends are reserved to maintain a healthy work-life balance and ensure the highest quality for each session. However, I may accommodate weekend bookings for clients who are unable to schedule during weekdays.

Weekend sessions (Saturday and Sunday) include a 75€ surcharge (excluding VAT). This fee is automatically applied when selecting a weekend date in the booking calendar.

I recommend scheduling weekend sessions early in the morning to avoid crowds and ensure optimal lighting conditions, especially at popular locations.

Priority Retouching

An additional fee of 150€ (excluding VAT) applies for our 3-working-day turnaround service. Your edited images will be delivered within three business days once selections and payment are confirmed.

Kindly inform us before booking this option to ensure availability in our schedule.

Privacy Protection

For clients who require complete confidentiality, a privacy protection option is available for an additional 60€ (excluding VAT).

When selected, your images will remain private and will not be used for portfolio, social media, advertising, or any promotional purposes — online or offline. The photographer retains full copyright of the images but agrees not to publish or use them for marketing purposes.

Travel fee

Extra fees may apply outside Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Hilversum.

Outside the Netherlands – to be determined.

For detailed information about our booking policies, follow-up process, retouching, and cancellations, please visit our general FAQ page — also available in the footer at the bottom of the website.

Choose colours that go together without matching: cream with soft blue, sage with camel, white with denim. Avoid small busy patterns and big logos. Comfortable shoes are a must, because we will walk on cobblestones. You get a full What to Wear Guide in your Client Portal.

My favourites for couples are the Jordaan canals, Brouwersgracht, quiet side-street bridges and Vondelpark. I choose the spot and the time of day to avoid crowds. Read my guide to the best photo spots in Amsterdam.

One hour is perfect for one location and about 20 photos. If you want two locations or an outfit change, choose the 90-minute packages.

Of course. Dogs make great photo partners, as long as one of you can hold the lead.
