A spellbinding moment filled with pure pride and love, as the bride-to-be gazes at her daughter. With emotion in her eyes, the bride watches as her little girl (her bridesmaid) prepares with utmost focus. Dressed in a beautiful gown, the girl sits gracefully on an elegant chair, carefully slipping on her dainty shoes. It’s a tender scene that bridges generations. A mother, on her special day, completely captivated by the beauty of her child and the deep love that connects them.

The bride and groom share an intimate moment together, gazing at each other while enjoying their cake. But then, at the perfect moment, the groom's sister steps in and steals the bite from the fork! This unexpected gesture not only made the guests laugh, but also me as the photographer. This moment perfectly reflected the atmosphere of the day.

While the party is in full swing, the father of the bride and one of the flower girls press their noses against the window, curiously peeking inside. The scene becomes even sweeter with two other children gazing up in wonder. Moments like these—spontaneous, pure, and full of curiosity—are what make a wedding day truly special. These are the memories that will bring a smile to your face time and time again.

This newlywed couple takes a moment to escape the crowd after the ceremony, walking together as husband and wife through the forest.

In a beautiful moment of love and care, this couple walks together towards the future. With a natural and loving gesture, the groom lifts the back of his bride's wedding dress. This action showcases the tender attention and unconditional support the couple offers each other on their shared journey filled with love and dedication.

Dressed in wedding attire, this couple raced down the mountain on their snowboards, with the bride closely following the groom. The snow, the sun and this unforgettable ride mark the beginning of their adventurous life together.

At the pinnacle of love and altitude, the bride and groom embrace each other on their snowboards a the top of this majestic mountain in Austria, overlooking the vast expanse of the Alps. Battling the gusty winds, the snow dances around them, lifting the bride's veil skyward. In this breathtaking moment, amidst the swirling snow, the couple holds tight, savoring not only the thrill of the mountain descent but also the panoramic beauty that love and adventure bring.

Capturing the thrill of the moment: the groom, propelled skyward by the exuberance of his ten friends, extends his limbs and lifts his head. A blend of pure joy and the anticipation of the aerial adventure etched across his face.

In the magical morning light of a stunning heathland, the newlyweds embrace each other tenderly, gazing deeply into each other's eyes. The first rays of the rising sun paint the sky above them in brilliant shades of gold, and the entire world seems to glisten with pure love.

The looks they share are filled with promises of a life full of adventures, challenges, and happiness. The raindrops serve as only a subtle reminder that life can be unpredictable at times, but with each other by their side, they are ready to weather any storm.

This bridal couple had decided not to say their vows during the ceremony where an intimate company of family and friends was present, but to keep their words for each other for after the ceremony. This was the start of a series of photos that the bridal couple allowed me to take. The touches, looks and love between the bridal couple were so soft and at the same time very intense. This loving kiss is the ultimate image of the feeling that the bridal couple experienced during the shoot together.

Children at a wedding always create a relaxed atmosphere. When the children at the wedding are having a good time, then automatically the bridal couple and the guests are too. In this photograph mother and daughter dance joyfully to the wonderful music played by the DJ. They are completely in their element and then of course I am as well. There is nothing more beautiful to capture these little moments of love and joy that will be a treasure to the hearts for a lifetime.

A veil often does not stay in place very well. Re-inserting is sometimes very painful only when the sharp points of the comb are pierced in your head by your mother-in-law.

A photo booth at your wedding is always a guaranteed success, especially if some have already been drinking. The reserve disappears and with it the shyness in front of the camera. In this case, the bride, her sister and followers go wild in front of the photo booth and from a distance the groom observes the pleasant scene.

At a photoshoot prior to the ceremony, the aim of a bridal couple is often to keep the wedding dress beautiful and white.
During walking the dress is mostly lifted high enough to prevent it for getting dirty especially on a forest path where this couple is walking.
This independent bride handles it herself. She only lift the front while but the back is still dragging on the ground. The groom is observing what is happing and wants to help which leads to this humorous moment.

In the beautiful surrounding of the castle Wijenburg this weddingcouple was cutting the weddingcake but could not wait to taste it when it was on their plate.

These little bridesmaids loved exploring, playing and dancing in the garden during the reception. Aren't they look lovely together?

When you look deep into the eyes of the person you love and you are close to each other, you don't feel the cold and rain. You only feel the love that will be there for the rest of your life.

Lifting the bride does not always go smoothly and certainly not when the groom is watching from a distance how his friends handling this situation.

All the guests are watching from a distance, but one of the children is brave enough to come close to the newlywed couple and takes a sneak peek behind the bride during cutting the cake. Will he be the first to eat a little piece?
