One Hundred and Thirty-Third Collection
I've always wanted to do a shot like this. On this day we had a wonderful heavy, moody cloudy sky and I'd taken my couple to Sawley Abbey ruins for portraits. On seeing the stone staircase I knew my long held vision would come together. By holding my phone against my lens and opting to shoot wide open I created this image where it looks like my couple are standing on top of a mountain while the clouds swirl below them.
One tiny kiss. A lifetime of love. In the middle of all the wedding excitement, this quiet moment between mother and daughter said everything words never could.
When the bride has a dream of throwing her bouquet into the crowds. The happiness on her face is magic.
Thank you for awarding this photo!
Sposi felici in riva al mare, tra sorrisi, carezze e luce dorata, in un momento spontaneo che profuma dโamore e libertร .
One of my favorite weddings โ the ceremony felt so effortless and filled with love, just like the entire day.
De kleurrijke bloemen op de voorgrond en het koppel dat geniet in de lentezon was voor mij het perfecte plaatje.

What a moment in Tuscany.
The wedding of Stefanie & Jasper, surrounded by beautiful people, endless energy, and the kind of atmosphere you never forget. Not only an incredible couple, but also dear friends of ours.
For this shot, we literally laid on the ground to capture the perfect angle while Stefanie was thrown into the air โ and her expression says it all. Pure excitement, chaos, trust, and joy in a single frame.
An unforgettable destination wedding in Italy, and an even bigger honor to receive the Weddingson Award for this image. ๐ค
Where Love Stands Small, Yet Infinite
This award-winning frame was created around the idea of scale, silence, and connection. Instead of placing the couple prominently, I positioned them subtly at the bottom of the composition, allowing the towering forest to become the dominant visual element. This transforms the portrait into a story of two souls standing together beneath something vast and timeless.
The composition uses repetition, symmetry, and negative space. The textured lines of the trees guide the viewerโs eye downward until the couple is discovered, creating impact through contrast in scale. Their small presence against the immense landscape emphasizes intimacy within grandeur.
Black and white was essential to remove distractions and focus on light, texture, and emotion. The tonal contrast between highlights and deep shadows adds depth and a cinematic atmosphere.
Creatively, this image reflects how love can feel both small in the universe, yet infinite in meaning.

A quiet moment as Dad waits for his daughter to come down the stairs, liked the symmetry shooting through the open doorway.
