De Stigter

This awesome couple had a beautiful wedding in the old city center of The Hague. The prestigious room where the got married had this big chandelier and large mirror so the moment I walked in the room I knew I had to take a shot with them later that night. Both the wedding couple and I are really happy how it turned out :)

During this pre-wedding shoot, we came along this long escalator with funky colors. As they went up and I went down we had to time exactly when would be the best moment. Using flash they got isolated from the surrounds which adds an extra pop to the image! :)

With this amazing couple, we walked passed a parking garage that had this interesting shape. Since it was private parking we had to check with a local business to get in, but it was well worth the effort! Both the clients and I absolutely love the result that came out!

This couple got married on the hottest day in the last 75 years and as a result, we decided to not leave the parking lot for our shoot. It was by far the coolest place nearby and ended up giving some amazing shots with which the couple is extremely happy :)

This awesome couple met at this bar, so we decided to do our photoshoot at this exact place. The reflection in the window, a glass of wine their hands and a fireplace right in front of them made for a really nice atmosphere :)

At the end of the evening, I managed to convince this awesome couple to leave the dance floor for just one minute to capture them in the reception room with this chandelier. Showing them the result directly from the camera they were really happy with the result

This awesome couple lives near these cube-shaped houses in the center of Rotterdam and absolutely love them. During this shoot, I wanted to create an abstract image where at first sight you are unclear at what you were looking at. I am very glad they absolutely loved the result also.

When the couple suggested this place for the shoot before the ceremony I was very pleased to see on Google Earth that there was this honeycomb-pattern which could be seen from the sky. Needless to say, I packed my drone :)

This amazing couple said they wanted to jump into the pool instead of having an opening dance. On an incredibly hot summer day, this was the perfect way to get the party started. Soon most guests joined them (including me of course!).

This is the best thing with working with amazing couples like this! Often you can feel what kinds of shoots the bride and groom are open to. They were joking around all day and were very receptive to this idea. I am really happy that they absolutely love the final result.

This wedding location had a crazy lighting structure on the second floor. I felt it was best to make use of their silhouettes and light up the background to have it complement the red strips of light.

For some time now I had the idea to shoot a couple quite tiny amidst a big urban location. Central Station of the city of Rotterdam provided the ideal opportunity. Shot from a higher vantage point, with my assistant holding the flash provided the extra pop that made the couple stand out from the scenery.

Taken in the beautiful old center of Delft, the Oostpoort is a favorite place for couples to pose during their wedding day. Since there were many people biking there and I wanted to do something a little different this idea quickly came to mind. It only took a few shots to get it right with the timing of the elderly couple.

The nephews of the groom spent an entire day polishing this beautiful old-timer. As the couple absolutely loved their wedding car, it only felt fitting to create a shot like this at dusk.

On a rainy wedding day in Leiden, we went into this old fort where we could take shelter from the rain. The place felt like an ideal location for a shot like this! :)

This is at the back of the building where this couple got married.
I saw the architecture and loved how the shape could beautifully contradict with the couple.
Having my assistant point the flash at the couple to create the shadows on the wall, really enhanced the overall feel.

This couple lives by the sea in Scheveningen, The Hague and are really passionate surfers.
During a warm summer day we had a shoot during sunset, which really portrays their love for surfing, the sea and each other.

The moment I walked into the room to shoot the getting-ready of the bride, this 3-legged Sphynx cat was staring straight at me. I immediately got this "Lord of the Rings" feel, so the idea to shoot this image naturally came to mind.

This amazing bulldog (called Yoda) was so curious that he wanted to get as close to the lens as possible. Taken at 16mm, about 10 centimeters away from his nose :)

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!
