Here are a couple of photos of Marlies & Frank’s wedding. They were married at the beautiful castle in Heeze. The ceremony, the reception, the dinner and the party all at the same location. A good recepy for a relaxing day. The castle in Heeze really is a very very good looking location. Luckily the weather didn’t turn awry. There was quite a bit of threath of rain with dark clouds, but we didn’t have any rain at all.

I had a hard time picking my favorites photos of the day, there were so many of them. I finally managed to narrow down my selection to a managable number. I’ll put up a slide show soon with more photos of their wedding.

Here’s a preview of the wedding of Sophie and Thijs, from a couple of weeks ago.

A couple of week ago I photographed the wedding of Petra and Hubert-Jan. Here is a sneak preview of one of my favorite photos of the day.

The best time of day to make good photos is around sunrise and around sunset. Why, because of the light. The light color is beautiful, the intensity is not too high and the direction is very pronounced.

When you look at great photographs, true pieces of art, very often they were taken in great light. I know of wedding photographers that only do a photoshoot around sunrise or sunset because they know that only in the best light they can reach the quality level they are aiming for. I wouldn’t go so far myself, but I think it is definetely worth considering to move the time of your wedding photoshoot to get the best possible light of the day to take photos in.

Here is a photo I took today of my one of my little daughters… in great light.

The giggling little snot nosed girl that you see above, that’s my daughter Ella. The somewhat fuzzy spots in the photo, those are the marks left on the lens by her greasy little fingers.

One of Ella’s favorite cartoon figures is Dora the Explorer. Fitting, because Ella is quite the explorer herself. The content of none of our closets is safe for her, and the lens of my camera will be greasy in no time if I don’t pay attention.

Below is a little report of a couple of minutes (!) of exploring with Ella. Playing with mommy’s phone, opening and closing the patio door, trying to find out how to review photos on daddy’s camera, fiddling with the ceiling fan and light switches, and checking if her favorite pair of pajama’s came out of the wash correctly. Just a few moments of exploration in the life of our little girl.
