PERSONAL STORIES

I am a photographer who is fascinated by people and human interaction. As a wedding photographer, I feel blessed to be invited into peoples live and have a front-row seat to witness and share, personal intermit moments.

I’m a big believer that people ‘buy from people’ and as you might be inviting me into your life and trusting me with your wedding photo’s, I thought I’d share some of my life with you so that we can get to know each other better. Below is a collection of personal stories (usually photography related) from my travels and working projects.
