On ode to the art of styling tables and venues in general. To make every wedding into a piece of art. Or how a wedding stylist and her/his team have magic hands and eyes and deserve my all time respect for their vision and hard hard work!

When you start embracing life in bold colors. When this wedding editorial was announced I just knew I had to be there, in the breathtaking Chateau Bouffémont.

Slightly off weather, which was a bummer. Luckily the vibrant red made up for it!

“Leentje, why exactly didn’t you show these pictures yet?”
This is what Elke, a dear friend and colleague, asked me recently when we were scrolling through each other’s galleries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that’s an ongoing thing with us, photographers. We have so many pearls on our hard drives, so many photos with good light, people hopelessly in love, the best sceneries... And we still forget about them.
We are so damn spoiled.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I present you: a slightly forgotten story of Britt & Steven, 3 days before their wedding in the most breathtaking mountains of Abruzzo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My partner, the boys and myself did an afternoon hike at the Grans Sasso Massif, followed by the most scenic golden hour drive over the Campo Imperatore, to end up here, in Rocca Calascio for this pre wedding pure magic.

These are all photographed in a timeframe of 10 minutes. Moments before and after first look. Nothing staged, all natural.
Probably the most exciting, or is it ‘stressful’ part of the day, seeing the love of your life for the first time, in full wedding outfit.
Building up to this moment is by far my favorite!

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS...
Honestly? We were all running on fumes. Jet lag hitting hard, senses completely overloaded after one full day in this wild, unapologetic city.
And then… the vow renewal day.
A slow afternoon wandering through old town, soaking in that vintage Vegas charm. The kind that feels a little rough around the edges, but exactly right. Followed by a 10 minute ceremony at the iconic little white chapel. Short, sweet, slightly surreal and kitchy. Just like Vegas itself.
Because let’s be real: Vegas doesn’t whisper. It shouts. It flashes. It pulls you in and spins you around until you forget what time zone you’re even in. Sometimes, as myself, you get slightly physically uncomfortable because the combination of annoying lights, constant smell of unpleasant-of-all-kinds-odours and the loudest of loud is just too much...

And somewhere in between the chaos, the neon lights and the “did-that-just-happen?” moments, you find something real.
Love, renewed. More than 2 decades together, celebrating a new era, with their 2 children.

And as Kim told me afterwards, this trip was a quality trip which brought the family closer together. The chaos treated them well 💛

And maybe that’s exactly why it works.

Actually it was on April 1st, but I didn’t want to have it sound like a joke. So yes, 15 years as a professional wedding photographer. I lost count how many weddings I got to capture, but it must be +350 by now.
Some thoughts of 15 seasons:
- I started out as a hobby photographer without - let’s be honest - proper knowledge, and started following workshops. I continued doing this until today. You can always improve and I’m sure it defines your artistic vision a lot.
- I’m really bad keeping and organizing behind the scenes, although I know I have plenty of them, somewhere on my film roll.
- I’ve seen it all: luxury weddings at very exclusive venues and low budget weddings at home. The amount of € spent actually never matters to build a beautiful visual love story.
- I traveled to Morocco, Italy, Spain, France, USA, Canada, Portugal and more beautiful destinations to document love. Spending a weekend with a couple and their guests really elevates the experience, for everyone. I get to know everyone so much better and that really benefits the gallery.
- Traveling to Morocco to capture a wedding 3 weeks after giving birth was a very good decision. I knew that fellow mothers didn’t understand what I was doing, but I still believe being an ambitious entrepreneur and being a good mother can go hand in hand.
- Not every wedding is my wedding, and that’s a good thing. The moment I embraced that, my work (and my clients) changed completely.
- The real luxury is not the venue, the flowers or the budget. It’s the freedom to do things your way and be surrounded by people who get it.
- Some of my favorite images would mean nothing to anyone else. But to my couples, they are everything. And that’s exactly the point.
- I’ve built a business, but more importantly, I’ve built a life that feels like mine. I can travel the world, I get to meet so many interesting people. I built the freedom to spend winter in the sun with my boys and that’s the biggest win of all!

SWIPE for some moments, good and bad.

Almost one year ago, but it seems like yesterday.
Do you remember, last year end of April there was a power outage in big parts of Spain? This happened a few days before the wedding of Jazzy & Pof. When my second shooter and I arrived in Malaga it was pouring rain, and we were so afraid to look outside the windows the next morning.
A few hours before the start of the welcome party Jazzy & Pof’s dog went missing and they mobilized every single living soul on the property to find him. (he was sleeping underneath a table cloth).

BUT all bad luck aside, this wedding was so fun, vibrant, sunny, energizing (and a tiny bit chaotic) I still have to laugh out loud looking back at the pictures.

I serve you REAL VIBES ONLY.

POV: Why having a private first look moment is so valuable. I still feel the goosebumps when I think of this moment of Naomi and Arthur at in September last year.
It was the most authentic and funny day, I felt so welcomed and understood as a wedding photographer and that feeling is absolutely the best!
