Hi! I'm Wim (or William in English), I was made in 1982 and I'm a professional wedding photographer from Belgium. My homebase is Nazareth, near Ghent.
I'm married to the best and prettiest woman in the universe. Together we have 2 (sometimes adorable) daughters.
You can describe my style as 'storytelling'. I don't like to pose my couples, but I have a special eye for the little moments at their big day. Only during the couple session I like to give them some guidelines but for me it's very important to keep it spontanious.
When I'm 'working' (I hate that word, it should be 'having fun') at a wedding, I'm always looking for exceptional spots at the location to take an 'award winning worthy' picture.
Winning photos
At the middle of a beautiful domain there was this beautiful castle to put the couple on the stairs for this shot.

To end the shoot I took the couple outside for my famous 'umbrellashot' at the driveway of the venue.

The grass in between the rooftops of an old brick factory was perfect to lay the couple down for a droneshot.

As the wedding party already started, I took the couple outside for one last photo. My 'famous' umbrella shot.

While people were having drinks I suggested to toss the bride up in the air by the guys. She was really flying high.
109th Collection
Because the groom was a firefighter, I had to get a shot with an old firetruck. While people were enjoying drinks at the firehouse, I got them to pop a bottle.

In between meals I took the couple outside at this amazing venue. It was time for some magic under my umbrella...

106th Collection
In a busy street in the city centre of Ghent, I told them to enjoy each other while people were passing by (but they had to keep still for the effect of movement).
105th Collection
At night, it was time for the famous umbrella shot. Only now, they could actually use the umbrella because it was raining cats and dogs.
