Koen & Anneke

Koen and I know each other from the local photo club where I've been a member for years now and it was a great honour when he asked me to take his wedding photos.   Taking photos of a photographer is always a challenge......!!   Koen's red mini was all gift wrapped and looking good, so we paraded it round all over the place.  All of the photos were taken in Naarden and I especially like the ones taken at the Utrechtse Poort (old gateway to the walled city).  Hope you like the photos....Koen and Anneke did....phew....

Sander & Marieke

While we were taking some photos at the Zaanse Schans a policeman on a mountain bike approached us and before we knew it we were surrounded by 6 of them and Sander & Marieke were hand-cuffed.  Honestly this wasn't planned!!   Really!!  Of course we went the whole way, taking a few groups photos and close-ups of the cuffs.  Needless to say, these photos found there way into the Album.   They're on my site www.thetruelight.nl/weddings.html  Enjoy!

Arjan & Elisabeth and Mike & Viola

It's taken too long to get my Blog updated.  These couples have long since got their photos and today I managed to update my site.  I'm getting round nearly the whole Kroon family what with Thea two years ago, now brother Arjan and in a few weeks Erika will be marrying Peter.  Nice to meet them all regularly and always at a party!!  :-)

Mike and Viola got married in Huizen and it was a glorious day.  We spent some time just wandering around the harbour at Huizen near where the reception was (Kalkovens) and got some nice photos with some interesting angles - which is what I like.

Wouter & Margrieta

Wouter & Margrieta were married in Bunschoten, a fishing village not much more than a half hour from where I live.  We managed to get the preliminaries and photoshoot done before it rained, but some rain didn't stop me from getting great shots of the couple and two family members in traditional costume, passing each other on the harbour side and what do you think shot of the gents with their umbrella's up and me trying to get some cover from the rain and a good picture!!    The reception was on the other side of the water in the Eemhof and there were too many photos taken to give you an impression of the party they had!!

Irha & Mirjam - way back in August

Time to update my blog with the Irha & Mirjam's photos.   With so many weddings in August & September it takes time to get my blog and site updated.   Some day........I'll do it the same week, but until then......     Irha & Mirjam were married in the stately city hall in Haarlem and the church wedding was a short walk for them and their guests, with me running up front ;-)    I love the shot of Mirjam and her dad walking briskly up the aisle - colourful green pews and golden ceiling - wow!  And there's Irha waiting for his bride...........   We took photos where the opportunity was and made a lot of great shots.     Super couple....!

Lennaert & Eveline - part 2

Silly me, I forgot to post the 'graffiti photo' I hinted at in my last post.  Here it is - really colourful!   And I added another three photos - couldn't resist it!   You can see they were enjoying themselves.  And me?  I had a ball!

Lennaert & Eveline - August 22nd

Unusually, I met Lennaert and Eveline for the first time on August 22, but that didn't make any difference to our interaction and we all had a great time.   Eveline models professionally as you can see from the photos I'm posting here.  It was really great to be chosen by a model to take her wedding photos!  On the way back to lunch we passed an bridge with lots of graffiti and I just had to stop - I asked them to fool about and we got some colourfull photos.  I always encourage my couples to just be themselves and try to picture themselves all alone and just to have a ball. Just ignore me and whoever else is round.  I've been in some pretty crazy places and it can't be unusual enough for me!!

More wedding photos!

.....the blog only takes five photos at a time, so here are another five.

New photos - recent weddings

Not had much time recently to update my blog, so here are some recent wedding photos.  I'm now up to the half of my weddings for 2008 - still about 14 to go.  Not so many as 2007 but nevertheless still going strong!  Next year promises to be a good year - don't know why I say this, just a feeling, but now I've said it so "watch this space!"

Maarten & Marlies

Bit back to front with this blog submission.   Maarten & Marlies's wedding was my first one this year, but that was way back in March, but nevertheless, here are four of my favourites.  You'll notice if you've seen more of my blogs that I like the colour 'red'.    How do you like the photo through the windshield of wedding car - which by the way was a white Beetle cabrio.  I think she looks like a famous princess!    It was a cold day, but we had a great time.  

Martin & Hanny

On the day itself while we were looking for a good location we came across a farm-yard which looked really interesting.  The farmer gave us permission and before you know it we were in the hay loft taking photos.  I disagree with photographers that say that all the photos have to be spontaneous - I've never seen anything like this "just happening", have you?    And isn't it a super photo?  We also took some great photos near to the Maas (it was the Maas wasn't it?) near Nijmegen - blowin' in the wind.
