EXPERIENCE
Have you ever felt that wave of nostalgia when looking back at an old photograph — one that instantly takes you back to how it felt in that exact moment?
That’s the magic I aim to create.
On your wedding day, I want you to feel completely free. Free to laugh with your friends, to cry with your family, to soak in every second together — the nerves, the joy, the quiet glances, the wild dance floor moments. You won’t need to think about the camera or wonder if you're standing in the right light. I’ll be there, gently and intuitively, capturing it all as it unfolds — the way your hand rests on theirs, the soft movement of your veil in the breeze, the way your eyes light up when no one else is watching.
My style blends documentary honesty with a cinematic feel and a touch of editorial elegance — shaped by my background in fashion photography. But above all, I focus on feeling — capturing the real, the raw, the beautiful imperfection of your story.
Because when it’s all over, and the flowers have dried and the music fades, your photos will be the one thing that brings it all back. And I want that experience to feel as effortless and beautiful as the day itself.
You just enjoy every second. I’ll take care of the rest.

QUEEN OF ROMANCE
I dedicated four years to studying at a photographic and art academy, delving into the realms of art, storytelling, and art-history. I firmly believe that strong pictures can have the power to convey emotions and messages more effectively than words. In a world where nowadays anyone with a camera can easily claim to be a photographer, I take pride in my background and unique perspective, which sets me apart and allows me to capture moments from a different angle.
I draw my inspiration from a variety of sources, including movies, art museums, stories, designers, fashion editorials, and music. However, I also find immense inspiration from the couples themselves. It is crucial for me to truly understand the couples I work with.
What motivates them? What is the essence of their love? What are their aspirations and dreams? How do they envision looking back at their pictures, and what would bring them genuine happiness? Also: I'm asking them to send some of their "best" and favorite pictures so far (holiday pictures will do) so I can really see how they like to see themselfs as we all have our personal favorite angles, haven't we?
Some of my favorite moments in photography include the ones that brought our team into Vogue, fueling both my personal and our collective careers. Additionally, capturing happy tears, tender touches, genuine hugs, and spontaneous laughter always makes my heart race. These moments are truly golden shots for me.
Another memorable image is of a pair of 5-year-old twins sitting on a bench, each in identical dresses. One sits prim and proper, eating with precision, while the other gleefully devours her cake like a little monster. This single picture encapsulates so much for me about their unique personalities.
Also last year we shot a huge celebrity wedding with whole hollywood walking around but due to the strict nda's we unfortunately can't share it with the world yet..
I have a deep affection for my boyfriend (yes, Erik, I'm eagerly anticipating our next step together!) and our joyful dog (happy) Camper. Camper is the most cheerful and amusing dog you'll ever encounter; his favorite pastime is stealing random peoples shoes and tossing them into the ocean. I end up running after him and footing the bill for replacing those shoes mostly haha... .
My love for the ocean and surfing runs deep, and as long as I have my family, pets, and the ocean nearby, I am truly content.
What's not to like? The joy of witnessing two individuals deeply in love, uniting their families and celebrating the next chapter of their relationship is truly heartwarming. Capturing those perfect moments that tell the unique story of a wedding day is a passion of mine. The opportunity to document the love, joy, and connections shared on such a special occasion is a privilege I cherish deeply.
this is an easy one! I lOVE a glass of really good WINE and ofcourse as a real dutchy another guilty pleasure is Cheese!
Mostly in the water as I love to surf! After every busy season, I have always spend countless hours behind my computer (selecting and editing) that I always need a good reset to come back to the real world, haha. Surfing really brings me back to nature, or should I say, my nature. We have a small romantic house in Bali, so that's my perfect hideout!
This is also the place where I start designing all wedding albums for my beloved my couples.
