Friend, Artist, and Wedding Photographer
Petra Somers
get to know
You’ll see beautiful images throughout my site - the highlights, the emotion, the joy and beauty of a wedding day. What you won’t immediately see is the value of 10 years of experience: handling rain or indoor portraits with ease, navigating family dynamics, adjusting timelines when needed, and staying calm in the middle of it all. Great photos matter, but having a photographer who can guide the day with confidence matters even more.
Experience matters, and so do your memories
