Seventy-First Collection

Gustavo and Berioska, a couple who wanted a session before their wedding, which was an unusual session. That day the night conspired with us and the sky was quite a spectacle. Their complicity as a couple could be felt in that beautiful place on my beloved island, the Dominican Republic.
Puerto Hermos, Salinas de Bani, has given me my best images and this is one of them.

It's one of my very cute newlyweds. The couple flew back from the Middle East to catch the sunset with a sandy beach wedding. You deserve it. Then the vision of their dreams had actually come true.

n the world," he said wisely one day, "but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment.

Love can be represented in many ways but this couple always shows it, a connection without limits, in all their photos you can see, a wedding day with tears and smiles, a day with a happy ending.

An old red Ford Mustang in mint condition, a nice quiet road sided by rows of trees and two newly weds deeply in love. That's about all it took to get to this shot. It also meant throwing off the fear of falling out of the back of the classic. Standing on the backseat to take the shot, we asked the groom to speed up, 'cause a picture like this is meaningless if one takes it with the car not driving.

Out of a series of about 5 shots taken (at a speed of 80 km/hr), this one turned out perfectly: It's got the speed, but meanwhile the couple is very much at ease, since the view in the rear view mirror shows the bride having her eyes closed and hanging cosy in the arm of her husband.

Thanks Wedisson. Much obliged!

In this place where architecture, colors and lines where all over the place i found the possibility to place the couple in line to create a beautiful silhouette with the existing backlight. The colors in the building do not distract the attention from the couple, as the couple is only shown as a dark outline. In a chaotic place with lots of distractions it still became a quiet photo, where your attention is guided to the couple naturally.

A great day I was during this wedding in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Pssst, don't tell everyone, but the reflection is my mobile phone!

A little stolen moment for Tom & Jade, so they could get away and practice their first dance at Chippenham Park, as they were both pretty nervous about doing it in front of all their guests!

Dusk, water, wind, bare feet, love and laughter. What more could you want on your wedding day?

Taylor and Sam married at Palm Beach on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. There was no stopping these two!

On their 4th attempt Rachel & Gerard finally managed to get married in December at the beautiful Holmewood Hall in Cambridgeshire, England. After a Last minute miracle change in legislation (and only 24 hours notice).
It was a total honour to finally get to see them walk down the alise as husband and wife after having to cancel their wedding so many times due to pesky COVID. So it’s lovely to see their wedding picture win this award ???? Thank you.

That warmth you feel from the soul mate is always a noteworthy moment, And I tried to capture that exact warmth to my frame. 

Although this photograph was taken in my home city of Ahmedabad, India, in a beautiful green community, the inspiration of it was from one of my travels through The Luberon Provence in the south of France. I was travelling to the Luberon village of Gordes, when I came across a road with trees lined on both sides so you could not see the sky and just a peek of the golden sunlight! I tried to re-create that moment of my travel with this beautiful couple posing in the middle of the road with wonderful old trees on both sides and that sun peeking through illuminating the entire scene!

Summer evenings are just the best for romantic moments and Festoon Lights. The Garden at Granary Estates Newmarket is perfect whatever the time of day

I created this shot using 3 lights. A key light to light the couple. A purple gelled flash further back and a red gelled flash. They all work to create a lovely photo. I asked the groom to give the bride a lift to add something dynamic and it works well.

A bridal couple in Iceland. A fascinating journey to a country full of new impressions. The colors are just fantastic in this photo and the landscape is so different from ours!

The Groom and his Groomsmen having a beer together. I was always looking to be a little bit more creative. Trying to get them all in the shot and all those happy faces. 'Cheers!'

Our most crazy, funny couple of the year. Yentl & Marijke were not afraid of anything. Water & sand? No problem. Lets enjoy this great sunset on our weddingday they said. What a romantic result!

Growing up, pink bougainvilleas were my favourites. When I found a whole never-ending bunch of them in Central Park, I knew they just had to be a part of my picture.
The breeze of New York City, the pink fluffy flowers all around us, what a vibe it was.

We were in a beautiful orchard the end of the photoshoot was approaching and the bride and groom walk together in love as on the first day!

An atmospheric winter scene at Bassmead Manor Barns. Amanda & Paul braved the elements for their couples portraits and I'm so glad they did. I converted this to black and white for a more dramatic feel

Indoor locations during the lockdown are sometimes difficult to find, but with a little creativity we can figure it out. This was taken at the bicycle tunnel in Heinenoord ..dry and without any wind?

A little moment captured between Aisling and her bridesmaids. These girls are beyond gorgeous. So full of love and happiness.  Photo was taken near Kilkenny, Ireland with favourite 85mm.

Near a sand extraction place in Markelo. This amazing couple found an amazing place to take pictures. And look at this car! Really an great picture.

Taking this picture at an old watermill does create an amazing perspective. This lovely couple loved all the old places around the little city of delden.

This engagement shoot was captured in the peak district, using a waterproof camera. On a bright day the couple were asked to embrace on a small outcropping in the distance forming a perfect silhouette.

This has got to be my best confetti shot and there was so much going on. The confetti was hand made using millions of carefully dried flower petals which were dried by the bride's father's florist. I won't ever forget that smell, it will always remind me of this shot. However, this idea to have the bridesmaids facing the camera and throwing it backwards was spontaneous. It really was the best confetti shot ever and there was so much confetti that it made a very distinctive swishing noise at it cascaded over the bride, groom and everyone else!

The day before it snowed really hard, but the woods turned out really beautiful. And oh yes, it was really cold! But so worth it!

Wow, how funny was this family. The youngest ones pushed themselves against the window. It did't take long for the rest to follow. It was a great day with lots of laughter!

Bill and Maria. Shot in January 2021 at the fabulous Ashley Park House in Co. Tipperary. These two had so many rescheduled days with Covid, but what an amazing day they had in the end!

What an unforgettable moment! A very cold but amazing day in February. This lovely couple didn't mind the cold, their love kept them warm. ♡
