A few years after the wedding, the album opens again. Suddenly you are back in that feeling: back with the small moments that may have flown by on the day itself. That is exactly why I do what I do.
I photograph weddings in Belgium and the Netherlands and I always look for honest emotion. Spontaneous moments, portraits in the warm light at the end of the day, and images in which people can be completely themselves, without forced poses or heavy editing.
Pitfalls you had better avoid
Over the years I noticed that couples often underestimate the same things when choosing a wedding photographer.
- Starting the search too late. Many photographers are fully booked nine to twelve months ahead. Make a list of your favourite suppliers and write to them.
- Relying on single Instagram images. Nice highlights do not tell the whole story. Full reportages show how an entire wedding day is captured.
- Confusing price with value. What stays are not extras but images that bring back emotions. Quality and a good connection matter more than the lowest price.
- Not planning a personal conversation. A quick call or a coffee together tells you straight away whether it clicks.
- Wanting to fill every minute. The best images often happen when there is room to slow down, especially in that soft, warm light later in the day.
- Forgetting to really be together for a moment. A short moment without guests or schedule gives breathing space, and usually gives the most personal photos.
My wedding packages
To fit the day itself as closely as possible, I work with three packages:
- Classic Story: ideal for a short session of the ceremony and/or reception
- Essential Story: for those who want a fuller story
- Full Story: tells the whole story, from the morning to the first dance
A custom package or a destination wedding is always possible. Every package leaves room for a tailored approach and every photo gets careful editing.
Feel free to leave a message with your wedding date. Then we plan a conversation to see if it clicks.
