The Photographer
Elke Smit is a photographer whose journey is as unique as the stories she captures.
In her early 20s, she set off to explore the world, carving out her place as a traveling wedding photographer.
Her passion for capturing emotions and the art of light was nurtured by her mentor, Veronica Hansen, in Barcelona.
Under Veronica’s guidance, Elke learned to work with all kinds of light, venues, and landscapes, developing a keen eye for the beauty found in natural surroundings and intimate moments.
As Elke’s career unfolded, she traveled solo, photographing couples across continents and immersing herself in different cultures.
This experience taught her to connect deeply with people from all walks of life, adapting her craft to each environment and capturing love stories in their most authentic form.
The pandemic brought a period of reflection and self-discovery for Elke.
During this time, she found solace in nature, a quiet space where she began creating art for herself. She bought a sailboat in the marina of Amsterdam, a small haven she now calls home.
From the safe harbor of her boat, Elke began sharing her art with the world—her lens capturing not just images but emotions, and her work began to take on a deeply personal, introspective quality.
But life has a way of leading us back to where we belong. After a few years, Elke accidentally found herself rediscovering the world of love and marriage. The call to return to wedding photography was undeniable, and with it, a renewed sense of purpose. Elke now combines her deep connection with nature and her artistic eye for detail to create wedding photography that feels like a work of art, where every image captures not just a moment in time but a story of love, connection, and beauty.
Today, Elke Smit’s work continues to touch the hearts of couples around the world.
With a focus on exclusive intercontinental weddings, Elke’s photography transcends traditional wedding imagery, offering a rare blend of artistry and emotion that makes each wedding truly unforgettable.
