Alexander - Meneer Kodak
Hello there! My name is Alexander Goethals, also known as Meneer Kodak (which means Mister Kodak in Dutch). I am excited to be a part of your life by capturing your precious moments. I am originally from The Netherlands and now live in Dumbo, Brooklyn with my wife Joyce, and our children Billie and Otis. We moved to this amazing city in 2022 and are happy to call it our new home.
I started my photography career in Holland several years ago and have gained significant experience by capturing over 200 weddings both locally and abroad. I have also taken numerous family, newborn, and maternity photoshoots. Photography is my passion, and I look forward to continuing it on this side of the world.
If you have any questions or inquiries regarding weddings or lifestyle photoshoots, please feel free to reach out to me. You can send an email to hello@meneerkodak.com.

“A+, 5 stars, 10/10, etc.
Alex did our wedding photos and did an incredible job. He has a unique and beautiful style. Go to his Instagram and you’ll see his photos feel warm, glowy, nostalgic, and just extremely pleasant to look at. With Alex you’re not getting a photographer who just points a nice camera at you and calls it a day. He gets inspired yet natural and candid shots on the day and then clearly puts lots of effort into making them even prettier in post. He also brought a secondary film (photography) camera and lens filters which made beautiful blooms on the lights which I absolutely love. We couldn’t be happier with our photos, highly recommend!!”

“What a joy to relive the most beautiful day of your life over and over again by seeing our weddingpictures!
In our search for an original photographer, Alex's work quickly caught our eye. His beautiful use of color, his own signature and his ability of capturing the most intimate moments so well: it is so beautiful, so real, just awesome! Most of all, on the day of our wedding, he seemed part of our family and friends. Everyone felt at ease with him. And what a fantastic result. We are very happy with it, thank you Alex!
Do you have the option to book Alex for your wedding, please do!!!!!”

“Alex photographed our wedding functions and engagement shoot. He is a brilliant artist and a wonderful person to work with. He really cares about his clients and becomes part of the celebration with them, capturing key moments along the way.”

“Oh boy, these 5 stars are well deserved! Actually, I don't want to share Alexander at all, I want to keep him to myself, so that I have the most beautiful photos in the whole world ;). Because what a talent, what an eye for detail, what a nice person. After 2 shoots with the whole family in the open air, the icing on the cake: our wedding. And yes, we can be very short and concise about that: WOW! So wow, that Alexander has now become the biggest shared secret of the entire family and circle of friends and he flew to Italy last September for my sister's wedding. And I would be doing him a disservice by only mentioning his skills for family shoots or weddings, because I think he is a very versatile 'people photographer', who knows how to capture snapshots from everyday life in a documentary-like manner. So hear hear! Looking for a photographer, party animal, social animal? Alexander is your man!”

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars to Alexander. Our wedding photos turned out to be amazing, even better than what we originally imagined and hoped for. He managed to capture all the right moments and emotions from our big day. Whenever we look at the pictures we can just relive our special day over and over again. He is flexible, trustworthy and a real talent. I could go on praising him but if you look at his photos they speak for themselves. :)”
