When we decided to embark on a destination wedding we knew there would be some obstacles we would have to face. For example, we would need to trust the wedding planners recommendations on DJ's, Photographers, Videographers etc before physically meeting them. I went through the list and had numerous zoom meetings to find the right photographer for our special day. I am a professional dancer and actor so being in front of the camera didn't bother me. However, my husband would have rather jumped in the ocean. I knew whoever I picked had to be understanding of the idea that we didn't want too many "posed" shots. We wanted everything to feel and look natural. We would take a candid picture rather than a sophisticated Kim Kardashian photo any day. Victor understood exactly the vibe we wanted and was so great to work with especially for my husband. My husband didn't complain once about taking pictures and felt comfortable the entire time. Another reason we chose Victor other than his personality and professionalism was obviously his talents behind the camera. His photos were the only ones that stood out to us when choosing photographers. We came to Aruba to have a wedding that was not only intimate but spoke for itself with the scenery. Victor's specialty with a camera and capturing the natural sunset is uncanny. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos but these for now are INCREDIBLE. Victor, thank you for everything you are an incredible artist and wonderful person to work with. It was a pleasure!

Absolutely the best!!! Victor helped my vision come to life. I surprised my husband with a vow renewal in Aruba and if it wasn’t for Victor and his team I wouldn’t have been able to pull it off. Typically, I get nervous in front of the camera but Victor’s calming and caring nature helped ease my nerves.
Our pictures and video came out amazing. I had so much fun throughout the whole process and I’m so happy and grateful I found Aruba Wedding Photographer to be apart of this day with me. Victor and his team are truly a class act and very talented at what they do!

A few months before our stay at Aruba, I contacted a couple of photographers for a vow-renewal / family photoshoot. Victors clear and friendly communication made us choose for his service and we haven’t regretted it. He advised us about time of the shoot, location and was there right in time. He has a way of putting you at ease and just let you do your thing. No ‘stiff posing’. He really took the time for us as it was very windy that evening, but the pictures turned out beautiful! So happy we worked with Victor, I can really recommend him to everyone who want’s to do a photoshoot at Aruba.

Victor and his daughter shot an engagement shoot for my fiancé and I. He got the perfect angles and would do whatever it took to get the most amazing shots. If you travel to Aruba for your wedding or honeymoon, HIRE HIM!

Me and my husband did a destination wedding in Aruba 05/10/2021. We hired our wedding photographer Victor Winklaar and we just received our wedding photos. I couldn’t be more happy and we love the pictures. He is professional in his work and punctual. He did a lot for us to get the most beautiful pictures and even catch some in the sunset. I truly recommend Victor Winklaar as your photographer. Thank you so much / Mitch and Maria

Victor was our photographer for our wedding on Renaissance Island in Aruba on April 10, 2021. I can’t not say enough good things about Victor, his team and his incredible talent. He is friendly, professional, and is a true artist. The photos we received were beyond what we expected. The way he captures the lighting and colors during and after sunset is unbelievable. I would recommend Victor to anyone who is considering a wedding in Aruba, you will not be disappointed. Best money we spent for our wedding by far!

Being that my profession is in a design field, I am very knowledgeable about what makes good photos and editing of photos. Victor gave me a new appreciation of that. He had great photo and pose ideas for us which helped make things more comfortable, his actual photographing skill and style can not be beat, and the final products were Ad campaign worthy. We also did a two hour session, in order to travel around the island a bit, and he was so familiar with locations that we were able photograph in twice as many locations because of that. I can not wait to hang all the photos on my walls!

Victor was great! He was very professional and took some amazing pictures for us. We will absolutely use Victor again when traveling to Aruba. I would highly recommend. His pricing is fair and well worth it based on the pictures we received from Victor.

I was planning a surprise proposal for my now fiancé and victor made it easy! He was super quick and easy to work with and the quality of his work is simply amazing. He is a super nice individual and made the engagement pictures so much fun! If you’re considering an Aruba photographer look no further and message victor to get the dates setup because it’s worth it! I can’t forget to mention a quick turn around time on his work! He doesn’t set you up in an uncomfortable pose and make it seem fake, he tells you how he would like the picture and has you be natural and that’s what I loved, even the pictures he got when we weren’t expecting any! If I ever go back to Aruba, I will for sure get pictures with Victor because he’s fun and does excellent work!!

Victor is nothing short of amazing. My husband and I got married on October 13th, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency on Palm Beach.

Being from the States, it was nerve-wracking finding, booking and sending money to people you don't even know, but Victor was the utmost professional! He answered all of my questions within a few hours, and walked me through the entire process with ease! He also met with us in advance (and patiently waited as I mixed up the times!) and made my husband and I comfortable with the timeline for our big day!

The pictures came out AMAZING. He timed the ceremony to perfectly coincide with sunset, so we got great pictures in the daylight as well as at dusk! We are so thankful we found Victor- both him and his lighting assistant Gerrison were a pleasure to work with. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
