Arlene Leilani Salazar is an international wedding and elopement photographer who blends documentary and editorial styles to create timeless, emotional imagery. A Texas native now based in The Netherlands, she captures love stories across Europe and the U.S., bringing a deep appreciation for culture, connection, and storytelling to her work. She takes on a limited number of weddings per year, ensuring every couple receives her best quality and a highly personalised experience.
Arlene’s approach is deeply personal, designed to document how magic — every embrace, joyful moment, and carefully curated detail. By creating a relaxed, authentic atmosphere, she ensures couples feel seen, comfortable, and fully present, resulting in images that are elegant, heartfelt, and allow them to reconnect to the way they felt on their special day.
Beyond the lens, Arlene is a traveler, a romantic, and a storyteller at heart. She thrives on slow mornings, road trips, brunches, and discovering new places, all of which fuel her creativity and love for capturing genuine human connection. Her journey from Texas to The Netherlands was driven by love, and that same passion fuels her photography. She is drawn to couples who embrace both adventure and tradition, finding beauty in the unexpected and meaning in the smallest details.

“What an absolute joy it was to have Arlene as part of our elopement in Utrecht. From the very first intro call to the final touches in the delivery of our wedding album, our experience with Arlene was exactly what we were looking for, and more! She captured even the most unexpectedly beautiful moments of our day, and fit right in to our wedding group, even though there were only a few of us. Her friendliness and calmness on the day, as well as the relationship she built with us in the months prior to our wedding meant that she captured the natural moments and real emotions, through how comfortable we all felt with eachother.
Arlene is an incredible photographer, but she’s also much more than that, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to photograph our elopement ❤️ ” Cody and Anna
“Arlene is a sparkling photographer that makes you feel comfortable from the start! She and her husband Klaas were our photographer at our wedding in Italy. As soon as we saw her portfolio we loved her style and wanted to bring her with us to Italy.
We saw Arlene’s enthusiasm and passion throughout the day and had good laughs during the portrait pictures! But most of all she has a calming presence which was so good to have during this time with emotions rushing without control. She knows what she is doing, keeps checking if everything is as we wished for and she’s open for suggestions.
Arlene replies quickly to all the questions we had and communicated clearly. She asked about our expectations before the wedding and fulfilled them without doubt!
The pictures are high quality and they captured our day perfectly! We can’t get enough looking at them!
Arlene and Klaas, we can’t say it enough: thank you so much guys!” – Ilja and Roberto
“Arlene is a talented, gifted, kind-hearted person – she’s an ultimately amazing one. I reached out to her for our wedding photographer and really, it was the best (and easiest!!) decision ever :) We knew from the start that everything will turn out gorgeous and it really was! She is so professional and helpful before, during, and after the session. The weather wasn’t really the best during our wedding but she nailed it – we don’t even want to do it in any other way. Neither of us are good/comfortable in front of the camera but she made the whole session so relaxed and always gave clear directions & creative ideas. All of these great vibes are well-represented through the pictures which turn out so perfect. She was able to capture feelings and emotions and we can really feel how she deeply celebrated us too! She delivered quality and professionalism with excellency and she gave her best, wholeheartedly and genuinely no matter what – I think that what makes her stand out, both as a person and as a photographer. We adore you Arlene, keep up the great work and forever grateful for you and Klaas!” – Veronica and Christian
