August snips
The ceiling my youngest probably got 25364 photos of.

Date night and poppy colors

Old and new clients often happen to be sisters.
When you are a Blumbergs, the weddings are so full of music and meaningful words. Forever grateful!

OCD bikes in Berlin.

They could choose one t-shirt and now I’m doomed with Pokémon and Sonic ugliness.

When stormy weather, go outside, you won’t regret it.

ADD on bikes were so cool for the boys in Berlin.

Documented more weddings in August than physically healthy.

“Mom can we get another bag of crisps”? Aka WTH did I buy these fancy glasses?

Pap wanted to buy everything in this shop.
The boys sort of behaved.

Hide and seek?
Not really.

Need to teach them some history and art.
Not succesfull so far.

Always in love with birds and water.
(Not so much with mosquitoes)

One of the goddesses of August, pretty Marinela 🤩

When in Arles with Alina & Ben.

Still processing last week crazy fun wedding!

Me against my 2nd shooter: “this isn’t possible”.
10 minutes later. “What is happening?”
The groom’s mother to us: this is what ALWAYS happens with this group.
Unreal laughter, ultimate craziness, the best dance moves. 10pm pool jumps.
All of this together? A first in the 15 years I’m doing this.

We had a blast. I laughed so hard I couldn’t stop crying. Got almost smashed to the ground because these guys invented another crazy game (no pictures about this, just yet.)
Questioned how fast the alcohol level in their blood could possibly drop. (Apparently when you are 30 you can drink as much as you want on Welcome Night and go for a 10k run at 8am the next morning)
Damn. I still have the best job.

You don’t need a cake cutting, bouquet toss or even a first dance because they are on traditional wedding checklist. Keep what feels like you. Leave the rest.

That “little preview” didn’t magically appear in your inbox. Hours of selecting, editing and perfecting went into it, while your photographer was probably still recovering from your wedding. Showing some enthusiasm is nice…

Not because you can’t organise a beautiful wedding yourself. Because on your wedding day, you shouldn’t have to.

If your photographer suddenly gets very excited about the light outside, trust them. Dinner can wait for ten minutes. Golden hour won’t.

Great food. Beautiful light. Incredible music. People who know what they’re doing. Your guests will remember how your wedding felt long after they’ve forgotten the wedding favours.

Good light, enough space and a little calm make all the difference. Your carefully chosen outfit deserves better company than plastic bags, chargers and half-eaten sandwiches.
Also: choose wisely WHO you want there.

Preferably when you’re eating too. Because nobody does their best work on an empty stomach — and speeches have a habit of starting just when dinner finally arrives.

Be present. Feel it, watch it, live it. Your camera roll doesn’t need another shaky video, the professionals have it covered.

You don’t need to please 150 guests, your parents and everyone with an opinion. The best weddings feel unmistakably like the people getting married.

Not every beautiful moment needs to become a TikTok, sStory or Reel before breakfast the next morning. Some memories are allowed to belong to you first.

There’s probably a reason. The light, the moment, the setting. Sometimes five spontaneous minutes are all it takes to create something extraordinary.

Two people getting ready. Multiple locations. A room full of people you love. Some stories simply deserve more than one point of view.
That’s why for destination weddings I always bring a 2nd.

They may not be the coolest twenty minutes of your wedding day. Years from now, they might be twenty of the most important.

A dress code isn’t just a suggestion. It’s part of the atmosphere the couple carefully created,

Krista and Bastian received their pictures today. I’m a bit proud of myself, my pile of work is high but somehow I’m keeping up. (Not to mention the lack of runs and steps the last 3 weeks…)
But so glad with this beautiful day with normal temperatures (for once) in La Ferme de Balingue

How a loose wedding in the Provence in between the lavender fields looks like.

Just cruising through one of the most beautiful streets of Antwerp, pretending we naturally belong there.

The funny thing?
A few days before the wedding I had a phonecall with the groom, with him mentioning they wanted a “loose editorial” kinda style for their photos.
I found it funny, being so specific and coming from a man.
Of course I knew their vibe already, but these words made me so excited for their wedding day!

Krista & Bastian. Or how a Canadian girl fell in love with a Belgian guy, or was it the other way around?
