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.

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.
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!
