Remember when they asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? My answer was ‘photographer’.
AUDREYAlthough I also said lawyer for about a year because I like(d) to talk.
My grandparents gifted me my first camera at the young age of eleven. Every grandchild could choose their own gift and my ‘oma’ (grandma in Dutch) really wanted me to pick a gold bracelet with my name engraved. Yeah, that didn’t happen.
From that moment my camera came everywhere with me.
Now, almost 2 decades later, I still feel the same excitement as when I got that first camera. Every wedding I feel so lucky and honoured to be there, to be able to eternalise those emotions for you.
“We love your style of photos. I'd call them sensitive, capturing the softness and happiness in the precious moments.”
Becoming a photographer? It was written in the stars. That I would photograph weddings - that’s something I never expected. I actually always said I didn’t want to be a wedding photographer. In my (very young, mind you, we’re talking 2010) opinion, wedding photos lacked originality, authenticity and let’s not start about the posing.
It took me bringing along my camera to my brother in law’s wedding to realise I was wrong. Wedding photos don’t need to be bland or boring. They can be artistic, fun, playful, happy… They can portray emotion, make you feel something. That’s when I understood you can infuse wedding photos with personality.
That was 6 years ago.
