When I was editting Liesbeth & Ben’s wedding today, I suddenly realised I still hadn’t shown you their engagement session! A couple of months ago I shot their civil wedding in Mechelen. Once they where officially married & we could legally call them husband & wife, we went for a walk through Mechelen to shoot their engagement session (yes, I’m aware of the irony of shooting their engagement session moments after they got married :p )

I’ve shot in Mechelen on multiple occasions and it keeps surprising me every time! It’s a city filled with fun corners, great buildings, cute squares. Add to that Liesbeth & Ben and you get a really entertaining walk with some awesome shots as a result !

Soon I’ll be showing you their wedding images, but for now enjoy their engagement session !

I hope your airco is still on stand-by, because although the temperature outside has become bearable again, this wedding preview from Sarie & Nicolas’ wedding will, without a doubt, make the room temperature rise a few degrees

For now I’ll let my images tell the story, I’ll tell you the story when I put their slideshow online (teasers : Aalst, carnaval, old acquaintances )

Enjoy !

Apparently my blogging frequency went way down this year, in part because of a busy summer & also because I decided to enjoy a few music festivals & a couple of mini-vacations. Last year I shot almost 50 weddings and at the end of 2008 I was very close to burning out. I give myself 100% on each and every wedding and that takes a toll on both your mind & your body. This year I’m making more time for myself & my friends and I like it

This summer I went to Rock Werchter, went to France for a week to shoot the Ultimate Snowboarding Summer Camp (I’ll be posting the pics later on) and I attended Feest in het Park for 4 days. I had the best of times & enjoyed every minute of it!
Enjoy life people, it’s way to short!

This way of living seems to irritate some people : I recently got an email from a colleague informing me that some people are posting untrue stories about me on certain internet fora … That’s not something fun to hear, but instead of letting it get to me I decided to take it as a signal that I must be doing a good job since I’m making people jealous It’s actually a shame for those people that are wasting their time writing these things about me, instead of spending their time on their own photography/friends/family, but hey, thank you for spending that free time on me

Enough about all that, I’m guessing you are all here to see some wedding images so let me present you to the amazing Isabelle & Filip. I’m meeting them again tomorrow afternoon when they’ll be picking up their slideshow, but today I’m already showing you all a short preview!

Their wedding was a home game for me : their civil ceremony took place in the town hall of Erpe-Mere & their Christian ceremony was in the church in Mere. It was a big luxury to arrive at the brides home after only 3 minutes of driving & to be able to drive to every location that day while blindfolded
I’m shooting quite a lot of weddings in Antwerpen, Limburg, West-Vlaanderen where I need my gps for every move we make. Well, not that day

I hope you all like the results, and from now on I’ll be trying to blog at least once a week, hopefully even more !

Yes I’m on a work holiday in France at the moment but I decided to take the time and write this quick blogpost while sipping some non-alcoholic refreshments on a sunny terras in Les Deux Alpes I’m here to do some snowboarding & supply ultimate-snowboarding.com with some behind the scenes images of their Summer Camp and do a magazine shoot with a well known female Belgian snowboarder. So is it a vacation? Well is sure feels like one

But on to the slideshow, since that’s probably what you are all here for I had a real blast shooting Janick & Dany’s wedding! 2 great people who like to laugh & make fun & above all, love each other What more can a wedding photographer want ? They also hired a videographer that day, Steven from videoroyal.be, who happens to be a friend of mine, so that was double fun

Since Dany is in a wheel chair, a “classic” first dance was kinda hard, so they asked me if I could make a slideshow instead. Of course I was happy to oblige and during the reception I made them a slideshow using images from earlier that day & their engagement session. It’s really cool to see so many people watch (and love ) the photos I just took a couple of hours ago!!!

Let’s not beat around the bush any longer, just click play & enjoy the slideshow ! If you need me, I’ll be at the pool See you all in one week !

Man oh man, time does fly! Veronique & Maarten have been married for more than a month already! All the more reason to refresh their memories of this wonderfull day by posting this preview

I met a very good looking Maarten at de Snip in Moorsel, we took an old timer party bus to pick up the radiant & beautiful bride Veronique, ate some, drank some, had the civil ceremony in the town hall of Haaltert, drove to their christian ceremony in the church of Nieuwerkerken & than drove back to de Snip to start their kick-ass party : that was Maarten & Veronique’s wedding day in a nuttshell

I hope you all enjoy looking at this preview as much as I had fun shooting these images !
