Hi, I’m Sandra
Your engagement photographer in Amsterdam
I’ve been a full-time photographer in Amsterdam since 2018, and I’ve photographed 1,500+ happy clients from 75 countries. Couples tell me they love that the photos feel relaxed and romantic, never staged or stiff.
We can shoot in your own neighbourhood, along the canals or in any place that means something to you two.
I speak Spanish, English, French and Dutch, and I guide you the whole time. More about me.
Experience a unique engagement photography session
We create Amsterdam engagement photography with passion and care. If you’d like to make your engagement photography shoot extra special consider adding additional services like roses, champagne, or even a photographer assistant to carry belongings and record behind-the-scenes. You can count on our photographer to make your day unforgettable!
Our shoots are all about getting lost in Amsterdam or any city you choose from our locations recommendations. We will also provide you with a booklet of private boat providers just in case you would like to do your engagement shoot on a private boat. This is a great option for couples who want a more intimate and luxury experience.
Engagement photography in the tulip fields is also available! From mid-April until the first week of May, the tulips are in full bloom. Go ahead and check out the tulip fields photoshoot packages if you want to propose amidst a sea of tulips!

Kind Words
“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 the best to work with!”
Sandra was the best to work with! We decided to take our engagement pictures while on our European vacation. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Sandra if you are looking for a unique Tulip Fields photo session!
“She went above and beyond to guide us around the city.”
Sandra was a very knowledgeable and experienced engagement photographer. She made it very comfortable to be taking photos around and unfamiliar city. She went above and beyond to guide us around the city and take enough photos!
“The best Amsterdam photographer!”
The best Amsterdam Photographer! We had Sandra do our engagement pictures while we were living in Amsterdam. She was very responsive and flexible when we had to reschedule due to Covid. She was very professional and was able to capture beautiful pictures all while following guidelines. I would definetely recommend her! Thank you so much

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

Best photo spots in Amsterdam
There are a lot of photogenic spots located in city centre where you can take breathtaking pictures of Amsterdam’s architecture, from hidden streets, beautiful bridges and docks with views of the majestic 17th century Dutch canal houses.
Here is a short list with some of the best photo spots in Amsterdam that you can use for your photoshoot:
Amsterdam canal houses
You can choose your favourite Amsterdam canal for your photographs, such as Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Herengracht, or Singel canal.
Skinny bridge and Amstel river
Magere Brug, also known as Skinny Bridge or Love Lock Bridge, is the most famous bridge in the Dutch capital. Another nearby location to visit for more photos with a Parisian vibe can be found at the Blauwbrug and the docks at Amstel river.
Private canal boat photoshoot in Amsterdam
We have a partnership with private boat providers so that you can enjoy a canal cruise while having your photo session. There is a high demand for romantic boat photoshoots for couples, proposals, engagements, and weddings. By photographing from a canal cruise, you can obtain different perspectives than if you were taking pictures from the street.
