In a few hours, the biggest party of the year is about to start : Carnaval Aalst. 3 Crazy days filled with friends & truckloads of fun (oh and yes, I might drink some beer now and then )

Most of you will have to miss out on this amazing event (wether or not on purpose), but as a way to comfort you all I would like to present you the long awaited slideshow of Annemie & Sammy’s wedding day.

I could write a book about how fun their wedding day was & how amazing Annemie, Sammy, their friends & family are, but I’m going to save you all that & just let you enjoy the slideshow.

Enjoy !

One of the more memorable weddings of 2008 was the one from Annemie & Sammy. I had the honour & privilege to shoot this wedding accompanied by Tom - mr Fotofolio - Musseeuw. He was curious about what happened on such a wedding day & wanted to experience one up close.

It became a fan-tastic day ! Sammy & Annemie are a dream to shoot, a true pleasure to spend time with, their family is super friendly & kinda funny (éh Erwin ). Add to that the energetic & creative presence of Tom and you just know this wedding scored a big fat 10 !

Below you can already see a (long) preview, de slideshow will be comming to a blog near you very soon.

Enjoy !

As some of you might already know, I recently started a new project with fellow photographer & friend Bert Stephani : LIME. For LIME we make (among other things) one movie each week, and I posted my first engagement session video online last week.

Because a lot of couples are wondering what really happens on such a shoot I decided to also put the movie on my blog. The educational comments might really interest you, but it shows you what goes on during an engagement session.

If you want to experience such a shoot for yourself aftering having seen the movie : It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so maybe this can be a really cool & original gift for your significant other ?

Sit back, relax & enjoy !

I gotta leave in a few moments to visit my parents (pancakes, yummieeee !!!!). But, before I leave I want to show you all the slideshow from Leen & Lieven’s wedding day.

I had been looking forward to their wedding for quite some time. For one, they are both from Aalst and like everyone knows, people from Aalst are always fun, pleasant to spend time with, cheerfull, … And second they were the first couple to book their 2008 wedding with me early 2007.

For transportation on their big day they rented a very cool, old timer bus. Perfect to drive around with your friends & family and to avoid parking problems

It was a beautifull, sunny day (something we’ve been lacking the past few months …) and it becase a very fun day for all !

Thank you Leen & Lieven for putting your trust in me ! It was a pleasure getting to know you guys & to shoot your wedding !

After 8 days of snowboarding in Austria it’s time to blow some new life into this blog. I decided to hand this “task” over to Leen & Lieven .
Leen & Lieven live in Aalst & so that’s also where they got married. Not a real home-game for me but since I spend most of my childhood in Aalst I like to think of it as one.

A wedding in the city hall in Aalst always comes with a little surprise : the shoes of Annemie I’m sure some of you know what I mean by that .

Apart from the shoe surprise, it became a really fun day. Hopefully the pictures below give you a nice taste of what’s to come.
