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.

Wouter & Rebecca

I always tell the couples that visit me that it's not always a necessity having a castle or something extravagant in the background for nice photos.  A red bridge will do, which we passed on the way to the Orchid Farm (it wasn't a totally dry day) and jumped out for a few shots.  The Butterfly Farm provided some really good shots of Rebecca and a gigantic B'fly and we dived into a cave for some shots too and I particularly like this black and white one - super couple!

Ruud & Marieke

Here are three of the best shots taken at the wedding of Ruud & Marieke a few weeks ago.  The dinner and reception were held in a beach restaurant but we didn't get down to the beach for the photo shoot, but as you can see from the photos, we made the most of the dunes and a Radio 538 sign!!   

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
