Hi there!
Hi, I’m Rik — the eye and heart behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer based in Aruba, and I believe that every love story deserves to be documented with honesty, elegance, and soul.
With years of experience photographing couples from all over the world, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images aren’t posed — they’re felt. Whether it’s a quiet look during your vows, the golden light hitting your dress just right, or the laughter that follows a shared whisper, I’m there to catch the moments that matter most.
As a local, I know Aruba’s hidden gems and most breathtaking views — from intimate coves to iconic sunsets — and I’ll help you feel relaxed, natural, and completely in the moment.
Let’s create something timeless together — images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Wedding Photography in Aruba
Aruba is one of the most breathtaking destinations to get married — white-sand beaches, glowing sunsets, and warm ocean breezes create a naturally romantic atmosphere. My approach focuses on documenting real moments as they unfold, allowing you to stay present while I preserve the story of your day.
Whether you’re planning a small elopement or a multi-day celebration, your wedding is photographed with intention, care, and attention to emotion.

What It’s Like to Get Married in Aruba
Couples choose Aruba for its beauty, reliability, and relaxed island energy. When you plan a wedding here, you can expect:
-
Year-round warm weather
-
Stunning sunset ceremonies
-
Unique beach and resort venues
-
A calm, stress-free destination experience
As a local photographer, I help you navigate lighting, timing, wind, and locations so everything looks its best.
Why work with me
Weddings are wild, beautiful, emotional, and totally unscripted — and that’s exactly how I like them. I’m not here to turn your day into a photo shoot. I’m here to document it as it unfolds, with all the big emotions and quiet in-between moments that make it yours.
You’ll get a few classic posed shots for the grandparents, sure — but the magic? That lives in the real stuff: the nervous laughter, the hands held tight, the teary hugs, the messy dance floor moments, the champagne-fueled joy.
I’m a chill presence, a calm eye, and someone who gets it. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about your story — just as it happens.
Videography
We don’t just create photos and films—we preserve the moments that will live on long after the day is over.
Your wedding videography is invaluable. It lets you relive the emotions, reactions, and unforgettable expressions of everyone who shared the day with you.
Ricardo was our wedding photographer end of October at Aruba. He did a fantastic job! We are so so happy with the results, photos turned out beautiful! He is very laid back and easy to work with, has good ideas and instructions! I definitely recommend him!
