1. Photography Style

The style a wedding photographer shows in their portfolio is what you get. A photographer with multiple editing styles lacks a unique signature and therefore cannot guarantee that the images will be consistent throughout an entire day.

Bas Uijlings has an unmistakable, timeless fine-art style, full of emotion, extraordinary light, and candid moments. Every photo carries the same DNA, from the first look in the morning to the last dance.

2. Experience under High Pressure

A wedding is not a controlled studio shoot. There is time pressure, changing light, rain, wind, full rooms, emotions, and unexpected moments. An experienced wedding photographer knows how to handle this and creates the most beautiful images under that pressure.

Bas Uijlings has done this on mountain peaks, in deserts, on black beaches of Iceland, in historic castles, and on illuminated Mediterranean cliffs. After 600+ weddings worldwide and 17 years of experience, he has literally experienced everything. As an official Nikon and Profoto ambassador, he knows better than anyone how to master light in every situation.

3. Professional Backup & Team

A photographer is a human being, and humans can get sick. What happens to your wedding if your wedding photographer falls ill that morning?

With Bas Uijlings, that is covered. He works with a team of up to 15 professionally trained photographers and filmmakers, carefully selected and personally trained. Whether it is a small intimate wedding or a large-scale international production, a qualified professional is always available. Your day goes on, no matter what happens.

4. Backup Files — 10-Year Guarantee

Everything with a plug will break eventually; Bas knows this from his previous career as an IT professional. That is why data security at Bas Uijlings is exceptional.

Even before leaving the wedding venue, the first backup is made of the most crucial images. At the office, five copies are immediately created, also stored externally. The result: up to 10 years of backup guarantee on all files and the album design. Years after your wedding, a new wedding album can still be delivered.

5. Personal Connection & Trust

The most beautiful wedding photos are created when a couple feels completely at ease in front of the camera. That is no coincidence; it is the result of a bond of trust between photographer and couple.

Bas Uijlings is known for his relaxed, warm approach. He guides you without it feeling like directing. The spontaneous laugh, the tear you don’t see coming, the look full of love—you only capture those when people are being themselves. That is precisely his strongest talent.

Photography and Cinematic Film

In addition to wedding photography, Bas Uijlings also offers cinematic wedding film. Not a standard video, but a beautiful story that radiates the same timeless quality as the photography. The two complement each other and together they form a complete picture of your day.

The team can scale from two photographers to a full production team with 15 professionals. Photographers, filmmakers, drone operators, and assistants. Everything under one roof and completely customized.

Anything is possible. We will take care of it.
