It was a very hot Dutch summer, which means when temperatures rise its most of the time quite hot and moisty.
The Castle was warm as well and when the bride decided to open the window the wind came in to blow the veil away, the mirror did his own thing which made the scenery perfect for a shot like this.

"Come wander with me love"
The couple wandering through the fields; the rain just stopped. Clouds above their heads. The wind stopped blowing and all we heard was the silence of fall.

These three musketeers on the beach, hard light. The sun was really bride... we found a little wall of sand between the dunes and with the perfect blue sky it was like a fresh little fairytale :)

Just before the groom came in, she opened the window to check out where mister groom was outside at that moment...
the light on the painting was perfect. It was like the guy on the painting was watching what was happening at that moment... It took me just one click to make the magic happen! What a lovely bride!

the first day of spring and a lovely weather. the clouds disappeared and the veil of the bride was waving in the wind.
As i love to capture landscapes with couples as subject i made this lovely picture of this lovely bride and groom.

As a kitesurfer the beach is one of my favorite places to be. Today i had a bride and groom who kitesurf too. I captured this surf-couple on their spot in Holland. It was at the end of the day; the sea was nice and calm and the only company were little birds at the seaside. A very dreamy surrounding for o lovely romantic shot.

These guys love to kitesurf! And as i am a kitesurfer as well i asked them if it would be a nice idea to bring their kites to their weddingbeach and so they did :) The colours are amazing and the love between them is so lovely to see !
Happy to win an award with this one after a very busy season.

This couple was photographed in Rotterdam in Hotel New York. As the wallpapers are amazing with photography art i thought it would be a nice idea to integrate the couple into the surrounding in that room :)

in this zoo which was very crowdy we only had a split second to make the shot without passengers passing by.
one of the brides friends stopped the passengers for a sec on the other side while i was screaming to the persons who wanted to enter the hall to give me a few seconds to make this photo.

one flash with grid on their faces, one in de back on the ground and this was the happy result :)

This lovely Grandpa wanted to get his grandsons to come to dinner, but the boys were teasing him one by one by stroking his just cutted hairdo. It had to slide on the floor under a table to catch this moment with my 16-35 mm as it was a really crowded reception, but with a really lovely result! <3
