Wondering what your wedding story could look like? In my blog about wedding stories a take you on a journey to the wedding day of other couples who trusted me to capture this beautiful day for them.
Have a look at the all these wedding stories and experience how even a small selection of photos like this, can already tell a great deal about these couples, their love for each other and their amazing wedding day.
In short, I am a creative person with a can-do mentality, who loves life, my family / friends and my cat Snow.
I love sports and am regularly found on the mat for some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or in the dunes and even the Alps to ride down the most beautiful trails with my mountain bike.
I travel a lot and also like to take photographs in my spare time. Also, I spend a lot of time with my wife and I am actually a bit of a geek who, besides playing video games, also loves the technical side of photography.
I started photography when my wife Roxy (then my girlfriend) started a fashion blog and put a camera in my hands. So you could say that I started as a fashion photographer and slowly developed into a wedding photography. Ok that might stretch it a bit, but this makes me all the more serious about my profession as a wedding photographer.

There is so much to do in preparation for your wedding and choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make. After all, the photos will still be there even decades after the wedding.
That is why I think a personal approach is very important and I like to think along with you and give advice where needed. I will answer your questions honestly, come up with solutions and give great tips regarding the planning of your wedding day.
Some questions come up very often and that is why I have already listed a few for you. Take a look below and click on the arrow to see the answers.
On your wedding day, it's all about one thing: Your story in photographs. Stories are of course best told in all their completeness, which is why I am almost always there from start to finish. Some photos are a story on their own, others help to tell the complete story in a better way, but the big picture is what eventually matters most.
Then we get soaked. That is if we don't use the umbrella's that I always take with me, because a little preparation ,of course, doesn't hurt. Having a sheltered location as an alternative for a photoshoot can also be convenient.
However, I recommend that you do not get depressed when a rain shower passes by. After all, it is your wedding day, the most beautiful day of your life. And a little rain isn't going to change that.
Even more so, a typical Dutch shower can also cause extremely cool images. I, therefore, do not see the environment and the weather as a disruptive factor, but rather see it as a means to use for great photos.
Have a look at this for example:
This depends entirely on the planning of the day and will always need to be discussed. Will you see each other for the first time at the ceremony? Then the photoshoot before the ceremony is of course impossible.
The location is also very important. Is there a place that means a lot to you both? As a photographer, I always think of the available light in combination with the location.
Is there not enough available light? Then I'll grab my flashes and we'll get creative! I like to think in solutions and honestly, you can create some amazing creative photos with flashes.
Hell yes! Also, I don't charge any extra travel costs within The Netherlands.
Why? Because I really enjoy working at different locations. It's not only challenging, but it also ensures that I keep sharp and enjoy this amazing job as a wedding photographer.
This can of course happen and there is always a solution to be found. The most important thing is: At that moment this happens, stay happy and don't be emotionally affected by it. This is the day of your life and it is a shame to spend it in a bad mood.
To give an example, take a look at these two photos. This couple remained cheerful despite the fact that muddy soil had caused quite a bit of damage during the photoshoot. Their friends made sure that everything looked perfect again for the ceremony and party.

The choice for your photographer is a very personal one. In addition to the photographic style, the character and values of the photographer are one of the most important criteria for making your choice. When I hire someone, I like a personal approach where communication and quality is of a high standard. It is for that reason that I also apply this method as a photographer myself.
You can expect this approach from me straight away. Call me, app me or e-mail me and you can always expect a response. I can often be found on the mat, the mountain bike and photographing at other weddings, so sometimes I won't be able to respond straight away, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.
So a personal approach is very important to me and that is why I also would like to get to know you as a couple. During our introduction meeting, it is therefore mainly about you guys. I want to know everything about you, because the more I know, the better I can capture the wedding day for you.
Have a look at the photo below. I knew that the bride had a special bond with her grandfather so I was constantly looking for the right time to capture that bond. This has become one of the most important photos for this bride.
Of course, we will also talk about the planning and how photography, and especially the portraits, can best be fitted into the schedule of your busy wedding day. I have all sorts of practical tips which you can use for your wedding. I would simply like to hear everything about the wedding day so together we can also make the photos to a great success.
You'll also get access to the online portal. Everything about our collaboration ends up in this online environment. During our introduction meeting, I can explain everything about the online portal.
In addition, you can always contact me during the preparations for questions or tips. Changes to the schedule can be communicated through the portal, I will see any changes you make instantly.
Shortly before the wedding we will schedule a call to go through all the details for the last time to make sure that I am aware of everything that will happen during your wedding day. And then the time has finally come!
Nowadays the internet is indispensable in our daily lives. Everyone owns a smartphone and is online nowadays. This is why I use the most modern tools to provide an experience for you as a wedding couple where convenience, clarity and style are paramount.
All the couples who book me as their wedding photographer receive a complete package. This includes access to the online portal. Not only is this a very cool and handy tool for you, but it's also software that I use on a daily bases and makes sure that all my services and communication run smoothly. In addition, the portal also includes an online gallery that is easy to share with friends and family and can be used to download the high res images, so you can store them yourself. Wonder what your album will look like? The design proofing function will help you to see the design and approve it online.
An online environment where all your photos can be seen and can be shared with all friends and family after the wedding. In short, that's the gallery.
USB sticks are already old fashion these days. Technical developments are going forward so fast that the newest laptops no longer have a USB input anyway. Everything is connected to the internet and that is why the online gallery is so enormously valuable.
It is fast, simple, looks nice and very important nowadays, it works flawlessly on all devices. Details such as security and accessibility have also been thought through and photos can even be organised into different categories. Have a look below.
You get exclusive digital rights to be the only one to be able to download the files in high resolution and of course without my company logo. Also, you can decide which photos can be seen by friends and family. You may find some photos a bit too personal and you don't necessarily want to share them, you can easily hide these photos from others who visit the gallery.
The gallery also contains useful functions to select your favourites. This feature is most often used to pick your photos for the wedding album.
Are you interested in ordering prints? Then I can even create a prints gallery for you in which you can easily see what the photo looks like on the wall.
After I have received your favourite photos selection through the gallery, I will start designing the album. The layout depends on the size of the album you choose. Photos really do come into their own when they are printed in large format, so I don't recommend selecting too many photos, it will look messy very quickly.
As soon as I have finished the first design you can review it via the portal in the design proofing section. You can browse through the pages and even make notations where you would like to see adjustments. After the requested adjustments, you can approve the design and it will be sent to the producer. Below is an example of a large album 35x35 cm in which the wedding couple asks to make the text slightly smaller.
In addition to these parts of the portal, some formalities have also been considered. There is a page that shows all different album types and materials, there are forms to share some contact details with me (for example the ceremony master or contact details of the wedding venue) and there is a very useful form in which you can fill in the planning for the wedding day so there is never a misunderstanding about the schedule. Even the invoices can be viewed and downloaded.
And the best part, it's all online and available whenever you want!
