I took the picture very spontaneously. I tried to reduce the distance between me and the bride and groom - the veil made the task much easier. There was no artificial setting here - I just asked them to hug ... and made me smile on the bride's face. The camera that I used was a Nikon D850 lens Nikkor 85 f / 1.4. Golden hour.

I found this nook in the side of the rock wall overlooking the rapids and told my couple to have a little private time up there! It almost looks like I photoshopped them in but they were willing to climb up and hold each other for stability while I shot away! I love how they pop off the stone. Another amazing memory capture with another amazing couple!

There is beauty in the eye of the storm! Luckily mother nature was nice enough to let this beautiful couple get married, get some formal photos in, and get ready for the reception before the rain came pouring down!

On the hottest wedding day of this year this awesome couple decided to jump into the pool fully dressed in their suit and wedding dress. Most of the guests jumped in right after and of course I joined them!

Without any seeming effort these groomsmen made the groom fly really high. I had never seen a groom be this relaxed and enjoy this as much as he did. Love the expression on all the men's faces!

Chris and Emma were an amazing couple and let me try anything on there wedding day. I’ve not shot at this venue before but it was absolutely amazing. This image was  taken beneath a former railway bridge and the groom was holding the OCF with an orange gel pointing towards the wall. I love how the whole bridge is lit up.

I didn't have a plan of action but for Rachel & Adrian's portraits but it was important to me that I make at least 1 picture that showed this beautiful couple's joyful and wild personality. As we wondered back from shooting along a country lane I noted this textured background in a farmyard and then started playing with idea's and layers. I love taking on a creative challenge and making new pictures that challenge the idea of 'norm'...<br />

Who said the groom's head has to be in shot anyway :)

Two hours before I took this picture, I broke a rib. The wedding was shot with a broken rib... The day was intense, the shooting lasted 10 hours.

The imposing pillars of the entrance to Wynyard Hall in County Durham just had to be on my shot list for this wedding! And there's no better time to capture them so beautifully than after dark. With some creative lighting, a bit of rain, and a willing couple, the grandeur of this amazing country house was captured in all its glory.

Matt & Emma were married at Alcumlow Wedding Barn in Congleton, with Matt's beloved 1963 Chevy Impala acting as wedding car. The venue mentioned they'd got some leftover smoke bombs and this happened!

Rachel & Mo got married in Ibiza at 7pm and we had literally minutes to grab some portraits after their ceremony. I saw this frame with the trees so positioned them in the middle and grabbed the shot of them just having a little delicate moment.

The summer of 2018 was an exceptional warm summer for Holland. Also on this wedding day in June.<br />
So we stayed in the shade as much as possible for the photoshoot. This little girl wanted to sit in the oldtimer and found out you can make a lot of noise with the hooter.

It was a fun moment at the wedding, and it happened very very fast. I am so glad that my lighting and camera settings were ready so that I was able to capture it!

Loved creating this photo, I was laid on my back shooting up into a light shade. 2nd image was created as a silhouette and then merged.

This photograph was taken at sunset in a postwedding in Suances (Cantabria) in northern Spain. I wanted to do a natural shooting and I told them to run on the water to look for the drops and the movement

Right after the first look we went to a nice location for the photoshooting. The groom arranged an awesome classic Ford Mustang. I captured this great moment in a split second when leaving the brides house.

The bride becomes full of joy as she reads a letter from her soon to be husband. Wedding party admiring true love! There is nothing like having your closest friends and family with you on one of the biggest days of your life.

With the wedding reception I drove to a very nice location, an abandoned castle in Belgium. It was a luck, that we got the permission to make some shots of the couple shooting in the old dungeon. It was very dusty, because of the long time no one was there in this eerie room. An old rusty scold's bridle caught my eye, so I arranged the setting and because of the darkness I bounced the flash over the arched ceiling. It gives the picture a very funny meaning with the sticked tongue of the scold's bridle.

It is an amazing moment of mixing beautiful sunset and Lavender field. With a sweet pose done, it is really a picture which the couple can reflecting on the memories in their lifetime.

Love the colour on this photo. The couple chose the purple to reflect their wedding. Photo shot at 14mm for dramatic effect. Purple gel firing into building behind the couple and then moved to the left and right for the sides. The sides were then composited back in so the entire building was purple.

During the 1st dance the groom grabbed a hold of his wife and swung her round in the centre of the dance floor, the dress just flowed brilliantly and I froze the moment.

This shot was taken on the geometric staircases of the Panna Meena Ka Kund -  a sixteenth century step-well located on Jaipur. In the picture Ridhish is wearing a traditional Indian attire and walking up on the higher stairs of the eight storey stepwell while Chandni, dressed in a red traditional suit is on the lower stairs. Although they're both standing apart, their body movements are coordinated and they are facing the camera and smiling. This aspect along with the criss-cross stair patterns, that although situated away have a certainty of arrangement within, sets this picture apart from other traditional wedding photographs where intimacy between the couple is encouraged.
