Blof and Van Velzen @ the HMH

Here are some of the photos I took of Bløf and Van Velzen at the Heineken Music Hall last Saturday evening.  The commission was from hansheesterbeek.com and it was an event organised for the Hoogvliet supermarket chain.  Now, I'm a fan of Bløf so it wasn't difficult to enjoy myself - I even took out my ear plugs a few times!!  Try standing in front of a metre square loudspeaker crashing out 'blauwe ruis".   You'll recognize my style - horizontal is boring!!

Duathlon Photos - TVH Hilversum

Well this makes a change from weddings!  Out in the rain and mud for a few hours, wellies on, umbrella up and camera round my neck.  In one of the photos you'll see runners coming at me and me in the middle.  It looks pretty exciting but actually I was standing behind a small tree which was just big enough!!  It rained the whole morning and then it really started to pour.  Thank goodness for watertight cameras and my good old garden wellies (for those who don't know what these are well their just 'laarzen').  

SVFN photos

I took these photos at the recent SVFN (Samenwerkende VakFotografen Nederland) get together at Arnhem.   It was great for networking and even got to 'shoot' some nice models.  Here are a few - I'm in for a different angle or something unusual, which I guess you'll also see in my wedding shoots - www.thetruelight.nl/weddings.html   Hope you like the shots.   My absolute favo - the one in the door opening and the fire hose!!   

I'm going to make a big effort to do some more free work............get myself away from 'behind the mac'      bye, Brian

Wedding photos - Arjen & Sandra

It took some time to get them posted on my blog but here are some of my favourite photos taken at Arjen & Sandra's wedding near Ede in December last year!  This was an extra special wedding as both Arjen & Sandra have impaired hearing and a lot of the ceremony and actually the whole day was done in sign language.  I had an immensely good time and enjoyed every minute of the day.   The album I made was enthousiastically received - this is what they said:   We zijn super enthousiast over het album! Geweldige foto’s een prachtig album gemaakt.  Het resultaat mag er  zijn! Heel erg bedankt voor de super mooie foto’s die je op onze bruiloft hebt gemaakt.

Daar doe ik het voor!!

Ben & Ramona's Wedding photos

Time to post a few of Ben & Ramona's photos on my blog!  These are a few of my favourites, but you can view a few more on my site.  They got married in Hilversum but most of the photos were shot in a hotel in Amsterdam where they spent their honeymoon and at the Cobra Cafe within a stones throw of the Rijksmuseum.  During the photo shoot (it was the second last day of 2007, so it was all inside!!)  we did nothing but improvise, which was great. Ben & Ramona are a great couple and it was easy taking some great shots of them.  We had the advantage of nice lighting, good colours and some Christmas decoration (see site www.thetruelight.nl) - made the most of that, don't you think?   If you like the photos - place a reaction!    B&R got the photos yesterday and I think there still looking at them :-)

Wedding Photos - Gert & Irene

This week I visited Gert & Irene to hand over their wedding photos and more importantly, their long awaited wedding album!    As I was so busy, it had taken longer than I had anticipated, but nevertheless, the moment had arrived!   I always get the feeling that it is worth waiting longer for the album than getting it within a few weeks - it's something to look forward to (I hear so often).  My wedding abums are full spread open over two pages 60cm x 30cm high.  Hand bound covers and the printer is Vakcolor in Limburg which is deep in the south of Holland, between Belgium and Germany.  They are a great printing company and have the nicest staff you can imagine.

The same goes for Gert & Irene - we had a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed taking among these shots - among many many others  :-)

The Eight Brides on my Hyves

Yesterday I uploaded these eight photos to my www.hyves.com account.  Eight lovely brides in black and white just to pep-up my Hyves.   Wedding photography is great!  You meet the nicest people, get to take photos the whole day, get into all the best hotels and get paid for it too!
