Full time Dutch-American wedding photographer based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
I combine documentary styled wedding photography with creative out-of-the-box posed images. Couples book me because they want their wedding photographed beautifully in the way it actually was, but at the same time also want a few of those images that really stand out due to their creativity.

The nephews of the groom spent an entire day polishing this beautiful old-timer. As the couple absolutely loved their wedding car, it only felt fitting to create a shot like this at dusk.
Taken in the beautiful old center of Delft, the Oostpoort is a favorite place for couples to pose during their wedding day. Since there were many people biking there and I wanted to do something a little different this idea quickly came to mind. It only took a few shots to get it right with the timing of the elderly couple.
On a rainy wedding day in Leiden, we went into this old fort where we could take shelter from the rain. The place felt like an ideal location for a shot like this! :)
This couple lives by the sea in Scheveningen, The Hague and are really passionate surfers.
During a warm summer day we had a shoot during sunset, which really portrays their love for surfing, the sea and each other.
This is at the back of the building where this couple got married.
I saw the architecture and loved how the shape could beautifully contradict with the couple.
Having my assistant point the flash at the couple to create the shadows on the wall, really enhanced the overall feel.
This amazing bulldog (called Yoda) was so curious that he wanted to get as close to the lens as possible. Taken at 16mm, about 10 centimeters away from his nose :)
The moment I walked into the room to shoot the getting-ready of the bride, this 3-legged Sphynx cat was staring straight at me. I immediately got this "Lord of the Rings" feel, so the idea to shoot this image naturally came to mind.
On the hottest wedding day of this year this awesome couple decided to jump into the pool fully dressed in their suit and wedding dress. Most of the guests jumped in right after and of course I joined them!
Without any seeming effort these groomsmen made the groom fly really high. I had never seen a groom be this relaxed and enjoy this as much as he did. Love the expression on all the men's faces!
We were hoping for a beautiful sunset at the beach, but unfortunately it was totally overcast that day. Since they had a really bad-ass Defender (in which the bride herself drove bare-feet in her wedding dress) I thought taking this shot fit the moment really well.
