Twenty Sixth Collection

I don't want to explain to her how important she is to me. I want her to feel it and know by my action, effort and consistency.

This was the first shot of my first wedding this year that I was going for with the couple shoot. The couple had found this unique location in the center of The Hague. This location had never been used for a wedding shoot, and most likely never will as they normally don't do want to do photoshoots here. Luckily the couple had contacts in the right place so they were able to make it happen.

This old factory was such a contrast between the lovely couple, I immediately wanted to go for a contrast Black and White image. I love symmetry and returning patterns in a shot, I'd noticed the window in the top right. Therefor I'd placed the couple bottom left with a flash behind them to complement them with a bright spot. The spacing between the couple makes that you can seem them both really well. This now hangs as a large metallic print on their wall!

A proposal in Cueva de la Ventana in Puerto Rico. To be more precise, my own proposal! :)

When ever we go on a holiday together, we always that a couple of epic shots for our selves at wonderful locations. Only now I had other plans then just a picture. My girlfriend is from Puerto Rico and she is very proud of the Island and the culture.

I had been planning this for months, getting the ring, looking up locations and of course practicing what I was going to say. I couldn't wait to ask her, so I made sure we went on a road trip to visit a few places but this was the one where I wanted to propose to her.

Unfortunately we had to take a tour seeing the caves. This meant that we were with about 50 people and that made me worry about the shot I had in mind. At the end of the tour was the cave. Of course everyone wanted pictures at the edge, so I had some time to set up a tripod, with remote. That way I could snap the shot at the right time.

This was set up in a few minutes and then it seemed to take hours before everyone else go their shots. The guid was already addressing people to go back. He offered to take our picture but I nicely declined and told him we would take it when everyone was behind the camera and then we would follow. (I think he kinda knew what was going to happen) He then started telling people to leave and that was the moment.

I grabbed the ring box and head over to her by the edge of the window. We snapped a few shots, my heart was racing. I dropped to one knee and asked her if she wanted to marry me. Her reaction was, "Oh my god" (and she threw her typical surprise pose as you see in the picture) "YES!!" I got up, kissed her, put the ring on her finger and the whole group started clapping!

In the meetings before the wedding with this lovely couple we had discussed the couple shoot. Their planning was pretty tight so it was hard to find a nice location that was nearby that would give us some time to get some great shots.

The morning of the wedding I got a call from the bride if I could come earlier, that way they could have a proper couples session. She was a real trooper, in order to get this shot we had to walk through the woods a little and climb a fence cause her wedding dress wouldn't fit through the gate.

I knew this spot in the woods where were lots of fearns and they loved the idea of this shot. They got in there and it resulted in this awesome image!

Um dos momentos mais magníficos da cerimônia é aquele beijo, que sela o início de uma vida a dois. E quando ao seus lados estão seus pais e seus padrinhos fica ainda mais maravilhoso.

This picture was taken in an old flour milling in the Netherlands.The location is gorgeous! And also one of last locations like this.

Early in the morning, nobody else there and the sun is coming up. What else? A beautiful couple and a impressive cherry tree in bloom!

Taken at April & Mike's beautiful wedding at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC. Was shot using natural light late in the afternoon.

Durante la puesta de sol vi que se reflejaba en el pasto, dándole calidez a la fotografía con el contraste del azul del coche hacen que esta fotografía tenga un fuerte impacto visual

A la salida de la ceremonia en la Ermita que se casaron Juan Carlos y Marisa le pedí al novio que le sujetase el velo a su esposa en ese justo punto de la puerta para poder jugar con el destello del sol.

Jugando con los puntos de fuga. Quise componer con el camino para que te llevase finalmente a la pareja acaramelada en el coche

There were so many beautiful and emotive moments between Sarah and her Parents on her wedding morning. Her Parents waited at the foot of the stairs as Sarah came down a long staircase in her dress. I loved that her Parents had hung that mirror in that particular place years before this day but not knowing that the placement of the mirror meant that I could get both Sarah and her Parents all in the same shot. I love how proud they look as they saw their Daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.

Having a one year old Daughter myself I've become even more fascinated with the relationship between the Bride and her Father at weddings. One day I'll hopefully be seeing Rose in her wedding dress and walking her down the aisle. Sarah's Dad started to cry as he saw Sarah in her dress and these kinds of moments really tell the story of a wedding day.

This photo was taken during the wedding reception, Emma made sure I kept an eye on the time for a sunset shot but I could never have planned that the clouds would roll out like this. I was across the pond with a herd of their guests on the left side trying to take photos but it turned out beautifully!

The bride and her friends on a day full of memories. Before the ceremony they have fun, do their make up and hair and enjoy each others company with high tea / champagne. A relaxing moment of all the emotional moments to come.....

Chelsea and Patrick picked Atlanta’s Swan House for its Southern charm and natural beauty for their engagement session. You might remember this luxurious mansion as "President Snow's Mansion" in The Hunger Games. And this moment in time is now a "Wedisson Award Winner!" Thank you!

I waited for the daylight to drop enough for the ambience in the bridge lights to come up, but the couple needed light on them. A gridded lightweight softbox was positioned just to the side of them. The foreground was some diffused glass that caught another nearby light.

The thing that makes this image for me is their reaction which happened because they were being teased by a guest and could barely keep a straight face. It worked out well though and it goes to show that you should always persevere in more challenging situations.

The bride had managed to keep her dress details a secret even from her bridesmaids. After her mother helped her in the dress we called the bridesmaids in the bedroom to get their reactions. Kristina looked amazing, the girls reaction says it all.

One of the most beautiful days in our lives. It's the day when we said yes to each other. It's the day of our love and it is the day that we wil never forget.

And this picture shows our love for each other..

Sahar and Sam came from Tehran (Iran) to make destination wedding in Dubai on 14.04.17 . They have chosen one of the most spectacular location for wedding photography in the world - Mina Al Salam. When I saw Sahar in Majilis Al Salam I knew I would take the best bridal session ever. The light and space made my dreams came true. Just perfect place for painters and this time for me as Sahar's photographer. Her beauty and feminine energy inspired me to get more and more pictures of her. Sahar told me this story behind this picture :" me and my cousin grew up together and the person who had taught me how to tie my shoe laces was there to help me in wearing my wedding shoes" I love this story

Splashes of champagne, fun and laughter! This is how I remember the wedding of Mikhail and Alla. Their little daughter Mariam is very happy for her mother and father. Now their family together and forever!

This was taken at a stunning venue in Hampshire called Rivervale Barn. The bride and groom took a wander around the gardens and I snapped this from the other side of the lake just as they stopped for a kiss. They are so love and were an absolute dream to photograph!

Alena and Nikita are newlyweds from Odessa. Now they are very in love. The couple's arms are dizzy with tenderness. It's wonderful, when the whole world revolves around loving hearts!

This shot is filmed in Odessa. Alena and Nikita are happy! Newlyweds are surrounded by close friends who have fun and are sincerely happy about the birth of a new family.
