Twentieth Collection

Tears of happiness!

During the church ceremony the Bride and Groom sharded their deepest emotions with all guests. There was so much love between the both of them, it made the eyes of us photopgraphers moisty too. The picture was taken in Hoorn, the Netherlands.

This photograph was taken at a wedding in Tuscany, Italy. I wanted the light behind the bride and groom to be the same as the colour of the candles in the foreground.

Mary and Enrique are a couple from Higuera de la Serena, Badajoz, Spain.
We took several pictures in a forest of eucalyptus, then we decided to climb a hill in search of open spaces, the sunset left us a magical light.

I lived for long time in Japan, this is my best friend Nathalia from Tokyo, we are like sisters and she decided to celebrate her wedding in Italy and i have been honored to be her wedding planner and her photographer.. I wish a wonderful life to Nathalia & Kohei !

Those 15 minutes the light invades the trees and almost goes unnoticed! This award is not ours, it would be selfish to say we deserve ... this award is the Great Creator, is the nature!

Photoshoot idea:
The prince and the princess are looking for love in maze.
To meet us in such a big maze.
I was photoshooting down lovers, got wonderful moment.

Shot by different approach, pre-wedding photo can be as hip as photos on fashion magazine, nothing close to the typical ones as the couple long for.

That moment of concentration, just before the big day for this bride would start. In the middel of al her preparations. It was lovely. It became an amazing day!

On our way back from Rob and Clare's portrait shoot, I had a gut feeling that Clare's white dress contrasting against the Victorian Easthampstead Park would look cool. So, without saying anything to either of them, I ran out to the field to get this shot! I love the shot and now I always trust my gut feeling!

This portrait was taken during such an amazing engagement session at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. These two lovebirds had an aura of love that was felt the moment Jessica and I greeted them and it radiated all around them as well as us, as we departed this session. The sky was lit on fire and gave us a show that perhaps was designed just for Jess and Sam! As for all to see, their beauty is almost as radiant as their love!

We walked arround in the Orangerie at Landgoed Dordwijk.
It's a beautifull october day and we did many great shots.

This one I took after I showed them how you can also use a veil. Just a shot between shot.
But there LOVE is the greattest. And that made the picture perfectly!

One of my favorite captures from Robert and Lisa’s engagement session at one of our historical plantations right here in Charleston. These two hold a special place in my heart since the groom is my brother and only sibling. The late fall light is always so beautiful here.

A late evening shot from Andy and Amber’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. As many weddings do, we were running a bit behind and running out of light, this was one of the last shots we got in before it was too dark to use natural light.

To finish the wedding off, the balcony in the Great Hall is a cool place to create something different. Having photographed quite a few couples on the balcony I like to keep the photographs unique to them and not copy previous photos from other weddings. One of my previous balcony image which has won an international award was in black and white so this time I really wanted to add a splash of colour.

Two months ago a bought a drone, what a great machine it is! The sun was high in the sky and that created a great shadow on this beautiful couple. What a great car, this Rolls Royce Silver Cloud!

When we met this Bride and Groom they told use they wanted to take pictures in a hangar.
The hangar was full of stuff so some flashes created this great picture.

What a great idea it was!

Both the bride and the groom are professional dancers. What better then to take a picture of them when they were dancing.
A few magmods helped them to create this picture. The bokeh are raindrops!

Candid moments are the best. When I saw the wind blowing her vail I quickly ran to get this shot. It's one of my very favs from this wedding!

This is probably one of my very favorite images of 2016. Gwen looked stunning and that moment when she was walking towards the car was just like a scene from a movie!

This was my first chinese wedding, a great experience. This was the room where the ceremony took place. Upon arrival, this chandelier struck me immediately. We're going to do something with it, I thought .. But how do I get just as much attention to the couple as this amazing chandelier? In this picture were all the pieces together. I had an idea in my head and this picture shows exactly that idea.

This cruise ship (the SS Roterdam) is very popular with weddings in the Netherlands, my goal was to create a picture that was not created yet with this ship. On arrival I already saw this staircase, but how to make it even more special? With sunset so! I am very happy with the result.

This Image was taken in the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast with the wonderful Gillian and Michael. They both wanted a natural approach so we just walked around the quarter and came across this wonderful umbrella art installation. The picture pretty much took care of itself after this. it really does pay to be relaxed and natural on the day. John.

The bride and groom were sitting at the head table listening to toasts from their closest friends and family. I was awestruck by some of the words that were said about them a lot of times toasts can ramble on with readings straight from an electronic screen, but these were genuine and real and authentic and you could see that they were so real and so touching that even the bride and groom were caught up in the Emotions. I don't typically sit this close to the bride and groom during the toasts but they had these high tables at an elevated position and I was able to kind of just curl up down in front of them unbeknownst to anybody.
I just sat there and watched and snapped and watched and snapped and this was the byproduct of that patience.

I´m so proud to been the Photographer, on this amazing Wedding Day in Lenggries - Isarwinkel - Middle Bavarian Alps!
It was the sunniest Day End of July, very clear Sky, very hot Temperature.....! We started the Day in the Morning with wonderful Pictures around the over 200 Years old Farmhouse where the Bride Veronika was born!She was wearing a Bride Dirndl and Martin an special old Suit from the Bavarian Tracht! Thogether we moved to the Church in Lenggries for a amazing traditionell Weddingzeremonie.
Bevor the Party starts....I picked up Veronika and Martin inclusive the Car Driver....for a funny Picture under Mount Geierstein!
I love these kind of Photos, with a lot of Fun, Joy and so much Love!
Thank you for this great Day !! I´m very very Proud!

More than Words...!
This Picture I think is a great Contrast, to all the romantic and high dramatic Photos we see all the Time at a Wedding!
I enjoy this Style of Weddingphotos, with Fun, Joy, Happyness and mixed with normaly Things in our Life!
Thomas was simply picking up Ulrike at the Shopping Center near the Wedding Location, and together they droved with the Shopping Cart a special Round on the Parking Place....it was so lovely, and they had so much Fun! That´s Life , so much Emotion, nothing prepared for a Shooting....! Spontaneous Doings......I appreciate that!

This photo is taken at the Kijkduin beach just after the "Golden hour". The sky was cloudy and lit up in different pastel colours like pink and purple. It was also quite cold at the time because of the windy weather. I'm very proud of Chandini and Gilvano for making this shoot so effortlessly beautiful and the best shoot I've ever had.

Did I get wet during this sabrage? You bet! But that's the point of going to the extremes for every photograph, right? Matthew practiced this a few times before the wedding, which possibly added to the success of this image. This wedding in The Hague was a very memorable occasion, with beautiful people from all over the world.

This photo was take in a littel village "st marcel L'Ardèche ..
with lovely littel streets... so beautiful places are there !

This photo whas taken not far away from where I live , in the Ardèche..there are so much sunflowers..and the view..it was lovely !

They were not afraid to show how much they love each other, that was something i loved about this couple. I still keep an instant photo we took at their wedding and forgot to give it to them.
