Thomas, a very promissing photography student, and his wife-to-be Joke are getting married one of these weeks.
Unfortunately I won’t be the one shooting their wedding but they chose me to shoot their engagement session. Quite an honour !!
It was a gray & rainy day with not much beautifull light to work with, so we where forced to walk around looking for the rare patch of light. Luckily they where very fun to be around, we had a blast that afternoon !
Joke & Thomas, thank you for chosing me to shoot your engagement session. I hope you like the results !
Thomas is joining me to shoot a wedding together in the near future, so one of these months you’ll find some of his great images on my blog
Last week you where all able to enjoy the slideshow of Cindy & Simon’s wedding.
As some of you might have noticed, there weren’t to many images from their wedding shoot in the slideshow. There was a good reason for that : we simply didn’t have the time on their wedding day .
I decided to pitch the idea of a shoot on the beach to them and maybe get a little wet while we where at it. They loved the idea and the rest is history .
Personally I’m a huge fan of mr Fotofolio himself : Tom (Musseeuw). We met recently during a study day organised by the Belgian Federation of professional photographers, where I was giving a workshop together with Bert Stephani and we had loads of fun Ever since that day I wanted to work together with Tom on a photo shoot, so I contacted him to see if he was interested to shoot together at the Belgian coast : Tom was very enthousiastic about the whole idea so a couple of weeks ago Cindy & Simon, Tom and his good looking, very fun girlfriend Karen and me met in Ostend, ready for a fun evening of shooting.
Tom impressed me on multiple occasions with some very, very impressive photos and to be honest, I felt quite honored to be able to work together on a shoot. His enthousiasm & crazy fun behaviour are a guarantee for truckloads of fun. He’s a true “portable party” .
Add a well trained photographic eye, a great technique and some strong communication skills and you’ve got the perfect recipe for some delicious results !!!

Tom invited his good friend Yvan Yvan (more about him in the second part), and Didier joined us to film this special event. Thanks a lot Didier for making the time & doing most of the editting on the video !
I think I typed more then enough already … The results of this never-to-forget evening will be on this blog soon, together with the second part of the movie. Below you can already take a look at what went on that evening . Stay tuned for more & I’m looking forward to reading your comments !
Caroline & Johan, you’ve already seen the photos so it’s no surprise anymore, but as promised they’re now on my blog as well so everyone can see for themselves how beautifull you guys are together
Thanks for a very fun afternoon & I’ll see you guys soon on your wedding day !
It’s 0:30 am and I just got home from my 8-8-8 wedding. While my CF cards are copying I’m enjoying a nice glas of orange juice & reflecting on a great day.
During the beautifull ceremony this afternoon many people where in tears, including yours truely. It was a very touching & honest ceremony, and being the sensitive guy I am I too shed a little tear.
I also had the pleasure today of getting to know the amazing duo Duas : 2 great guys who damn well know how to sing & make music !
I also met the great cartoonist Marc De Roo who was kind enough to draw a cool cartoon of me (holding my camera, ofcourse !!!). Marc, I’ll give it a sweet place in my office !
Now it’s time to back everything up & go to bed, because I’m expected in Dendermonde in a couple of hours for the wedding of Dorien & Wim.
