To remind themselves to enjoy every minute together, even if it is in silence, this lovely wedding couple paused and sat down at the serene riverside after their photoshoot. It was a beautifully bright and hot day, so the light works its magic and draws the attention of the couple amid this cinematic scene.

Amidst the emotional Roller Coaster the pandemic meant for couples planning their Wedding in 2020 in The Netherlands, this friendly couple K & E choose to hold their breath and rely on providence. With their wedding planned for September the government measures were a serious thing to consider, but there was no lockdown, so it did not mean a sturdy NO to their wedding at all. In september a wedding could take place in a smaller shape and therefor maybe more to its pure essential.

So K & E decided to stick to their plans. They invited the allowed maximum of 30 guests and they just eased up on the limitations. It turned out to become a great day to remember. With a lot of fun, super friendly guests, beautiful wedding vows spoken, a handsome groom and a sweet beautiful bride. Maybe things were downsized, the love of K & E would overcome!

This shot, bringing us our 14th Wedisson, is to us an illustration of that pure essence we tend to capture as a wedding photographer. There's nothing so honest and pure as kiss of two people relying on each other, promising each other eternal devotion.

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!

Covid-19...who hasn't heard of it? Although we had the honor of shooting about 40 weddings in 2020, this lovely couple was the first to gladly pose for a rough wedding shot with masks on. The pile of coal in the front adds a perfect contrast to the deep blue sky. Thanks so much to all at Wedisson for this 12th award. We are honored!

It's amazing how you can play with the sun and your camera. In June 2020 we went with a couple to a beautiful place in the Netherlands. On a field with some trees we tried out smoking bombs as the light beams between the trees were so nice. While the wedding couple was rehearsing their wedding dance, we shot this image of them, with a purple haze on the back. We're so font of matching different things together. In this case: nature/love with art colors/smoke.

At Chateau Balmoral near the city of Spa (Belgium) this lovely and gorgeous looking couple Peter and Claudia spent a mesmerizing wedding weekend. Although we did most of the photoshoot in de valley below, we figured the pool of the castle offered a great setting for a fun shot as well.

Peter and Claudia turned out to be great daredevils...the side of the pool only offered about 30 centimeters to stand on and on the backside, it's a deep gap down (as you can see the top of the trees)! No problem, Peter even pushed his luck balancing on one leg. Great posers!

We're extremely honored with this 10th Wedisson. Many thanks to all!

This lovely couple chose for a real winter wedding, early 2020.
How much did they know how lucky they were for being able to celebrate their wedding day as planned, with their family and loved ones.
Both dressed in royal blue, on this photo they reach for each other... to have and to hold.
As in recent times, it also symbolizes the concept of being together apart.

We're so thrilled and grateful to have won our 8th Wedisson Award! Saskia and Ronald celebrated their wedding day on September 19th, 2019. A joyful and intense day to remember. This lovely couple chooses several locations for their photoshoot. The Dominican Monastery of Zwolle (The Netherlands) offers great backgrounds wherever you look. The cool thing about this picture is that it's actually taken when we already finished up the shoot itself. As galant as Ronald is he kept the door open for his bride on the way out. We loved the light putting the couple in contours. Although there's a lot of black in this shot, it still shows the calm and easy feel that surrounds these lovebirds.

In a typical fisherman's village with a very old harbor, this couple met each other at the local supermarket. They had chosen for a fun photoshoot for their wedding shoot and so we went to this local supermarket. As soon as we spotted the lady in her traditional Dutch clothing, we wanted to include her as she really stands for the old traditions this village (and The Netherlands) is known for. She didn't bother at all when the groom raced through the lane with his girlfriend laughing and screaming in the shopping kart. This moment was so much fun. We are very proud and happy with this award. Thank you so much.
