Hi there!

I’m Vivianna van der Maas, a certified fulltime photographer of love and life, unashamed and wholehearted. i’m based in Utrecht, the Netherlands but over the last six years i’ve travelled all over the world to capture people and their (love) stories.

Having travelled to over thirty countries spread over five continents, I’ve never shied away from new adventures. I love following Jesus, people who take time to have breakfast together, night swims, driving through the night to see sunrises, tacos, coffee in the morning and playing piano when it rains.

Photograpy became a passion after experiencing the impact of seeing myself love and be loved by others printed on paper.

"I remember seeing a picture of myself and someone I love deeply.”

the photo was well timed, unposed and real…

 

...and it touched me so deeply to actually see myself loving someone else. I could see it in my eyes. In my smile.

Love is something so special, it’s something ungraspable. It’s in the small things and in the big things. It’s in the hand on the shoulder, the glimpses exchanged in between moments, the smile you receive when you look at a loved one. I was thinking about it and I realized we experience love, but we rarely see ourselves loving another.

I believe real genuine love will prove itself over time, which involves sacrifice and loyalty and it’s nearly impossible to encapsulate that in a photo. BUT I fully believe that taking time to capture the small special moments in-between that fuel the long run can truly have a transformative impact on us.

It can help us realize what we have been given in the relationships we have. With the help of printed colors and shapes we can remember, feel and grow confident in our own story and the story we share with the ones around us.

 

What I
Do Best

 

Weddings / Elopements

I love being part of such an important day and being able to freeze those important moments for you to enjoy afterwards. Whether you’re celebrating in your local neighborhood or out in the European mountains, Middle Eastern desert or the shores of Australia. Whether with just a couple of close friends or with a big group of people. I would love to come capture it all with you!
