While some of us were fortunate enough to be born as extroverts, not everyone feels the same way. For a good chunk of the population, any number of the typical wedding day traditions can inspire anxiety and existential dread. This day is all about you, yes, but does that mean all the attention has to be on you as well? FROM VOWS TO CHITCHAT, WHICH REMAINS SACRED? Traditional weddings often require some degree of performance on the part of the couple, whether that is in the form of reciting...Read more

I am a proud mother of two fantastic girls and a loving wife who has a huge passion for love and photography! I started to photograph as a child, but this was just for fun. When I became 23 years, I started to ask myself what I really would like to do for living for the rest of my life. I didn't have to think a lot, because I wanted to become a photographer. In the beginning, I didn't know what kind of photographer I wanted to be. But when I had to take pictures in the studio, I didn't feel free. It was not my cup of tea. I wanted to tell stories about people and animals, stories about life and love. So wedding photography became my number one of photography and I really love it! It's amazing to be part of it and to be that one person that is honoured to capture this once in a lifetime. As a wedding photographer, I realize my own piece of poetry with my camera. Wedding photography is something that always fascinates and motivates me, one of the reasons that this kind of photography makes me feel completely home. I am energetic, playful, I love your romance very much and I portray your beautiful wedding day in a very surprising and unique way. With an eye for all details and the most exceptional lighting conditions, I realize your wonderful story. My wedding photography consists of real stories in which the moments prevail because that's what it's all about, THE MOMENT YOU CAPTURE... [West Flanders Wedding Photographer]

Hey there, I'm Yves. A wedding photographer from Belgium that has been shooting weddings since 2014 after leaving the corporate engineering world behind him. This wedding photographer life has been a rollercoaster which led me to meeting a warm wedding photography community of friends, seeing all parts of the world and enjoying this creative outlet. I love both creative portraits as well as a more documentary approach to wedding photography and everything in between, which makes me feel a kind of hybrid. As long as my images evoke emotions, I'm a happy camper. [Antwerpen Wedding Photographer]
