I want to talk to you about unplugged weddings. What are they, and why do I want you to have an unplugged wedding, at least the ceremony?
‘Unplugged’ means no connection with the outside world. No cell phones, no internet, no tablets… Just you and your guests enjoying the moment. Can you even imagine that nowadays? It’s difficult, right? People seem to not be able to enjoy the moment anymore, they need to capture everything they do and see with their smartphone. So they will also try to capture you walking down the aisle, you exchanging the rings, you having your first kiss… Will you or they ever look at those pictures again? Probably not. Will these photos be great? Most likely not. Will they affect the photos taken by the professional you hired? They probably will! (more…)

You know how time goes really fast? I think 2016 has broken all records in topspeed. One moment it was April, the wedding season started, the other moment I was at the end of November wondering what happened with the previous 7 months. Though I do have a lot of beautiful memories of this year! It was my first year as a fulltime wedding photographer, and even though every hour passed by like they were seconds, I enjoyed every moment very much. I have met such wonderful people, I’ve seen couples sealing their love in the most intimate and lovely ceremonies, I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing vendors… There are downsides to all of this too. For example: I’ve eaten so much wedding cake I now have to work to lose all the extra kilos I’ve gained during the summer season. And I haven’t been home much. But as I’m now making up for that, I do think I want more of 2016 in 2017. So. 2017: bring it on! I’m ready!

Have I told you before that I love flowers? I love making bouqets, love playing around with them. I’m not good at keeping them alive though, they actually die really quickly when they’re under my guard. That’s the main reason I became a photographer and not a florist. But I think they are essential for every wedding. Flowers are a way to show that your wedding is a day to celibrate, to make your day more festive, to bring your color theme of the wedding to life. It is an elegant way of beautifying your day, to give your probably already amazing location that last spark. (more…)
