Creative Pictures

As a wedding photographer based in Hilden, I—William van der Bruggen—have been documenting weddings with passion and precision for decades. With a diploma in photography (since 1987), national awards and the experience of photographing over 1,000 weddings, I have cultivated a sensitivity for the moments that make memories timeless. My focus is wedding photography: I primarily work in a documentary style, quietly capturing the flow of the day while creating deliberate, creative couple shoots that highlight the personalities of the newlyweds. This combination of candid reportage and composed portraits results in natural wedding photos with a refined aesthetic. My process is personal and reliable: an initial meeting defines the style, timeline and special wishes. If desired, I offer engagement or couple sessions beforehand—an excellent way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to create relaxed engagement photos. On the wedding day I remain discreet and attentive, always searching for authentic expressions—tears, laughter, gestures and details that tell your story. I believe your images should be more than files. That’s why I offer professionally designed, high-quality wedding albums—"an album instead of a USB stick" is not an empty promise. From image selection and layout to the choice of premium materials, I accompany the production to ensure your memories are tangible and enduring. If you’re looking for a specialised wedding photographer in Hilden who combines reportage sensitivity with creative couple portraits, I look forward to your inquiry. Together we will develop the visual language for your day and create images that continue to move you year after year.
