How it works
You tell us what you need, we find a local photographer who fits, and you get a quote before anything is booked.
What is TulipFrame?
TulipFrame is a photography booking marketplace in the Netherlands. You send a short request with the kind of shoot, the city and the date; we match you with a local photographer, you receive a quote, and the shoot is booked only when you accept it. A request is free and without obligation.

Booking questions
How does TulipFrame work?
You send a short request with your date, city, type of shoot and budget. We match it with a photographer who works in that area and is available, the photographer's quote is sent to you, and if you are happy with it, you book. The details are on how it works.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can once your date is fixed. For most sessions, two to four weeks ahead is comfortable; for weekends in April and May (tulip season), summer and weddings, book several weeks or months ahead. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, so it is worth asking. More detail in how far in advance to book a photographer.
Can I book an English-speaking photographer?
Yes. English is the language we work in, and when you write to us in English we only match you with a photographer who can run the session in English. If you would like another language, mention it in your request and we will tell you honestly whether we can match it.
Can I book photography outside Amsterdam?
Yes. We take requests for cities across the Netherlands, including Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Haarlem, Delft and Leiden, as well as places like tulip fields, windmill villages and the coast. Tell us where you want the shoot, and we will look for a photographer who works in that area.
Can the photographer help choose a location?
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind — canals, the beach, a park, somewhere quiet — and your photographer can suggest spots that suit the time of day, the season and your group. Many people leave this open when they send the request.
Can I request a specific photographer?
Yes, you can name a photographer from our photographers page in your request. We will pass it on and ask them first, but we can't guarantee they are available on your date. If they are not, we will tell you and suggest another option.
Can I plan a surprise proposal through TulipFrame?
Yes. Mention in your request that it is a surprise, and we will only contact you through the details you give us. The photographer will agree the spot, a signal and their position with you in advance.
