FAQ
How the process looks like?
The process of our journey together to create your beautiful wedding photos is as follows
- Your Inquiry: Feel free to send me your wishes and ideas in writing. Then we can have a phone call to see if we have a good chemistry.
- Getting to know each other: I like to get to know you personally and discuss all the details in advance. This will allow you to feel more relaxed on your wedding day as you’ll already be familiar with me.
- Location Search/Review: We’ll work together to find the best location for your couples shoot. I will personally inspect the location prior to your big day.
- Your big day: Depending on the package booked, we may start with a first look, followed by a couple’s shoot, the ceremony, the champagne reception and family photos.
- Your photos: Lovingly processing your images takes time. So a few days after the wedding, I’ll send you a sneak peek of some of the images to give you a first impression.
Best time for couple photoshoot?
The best time for a couple’s photoshoot is individual and depends on your schedule, preferences and lighting conditions. Although a sunset shoot can create a romantic atmosphere, it’s best not to schedule it too late in the day. This is because the time after the ceremony is often reserved for celebrating and enjoying with your loved ones. If the ceremony takes place in the morning, the hours after the ceremony can be precious for enjoying time together.
In my experience, one of the best opportunities is before the ceremony itself. Early morning or the hours before midday are perfect for taking advantage of the beauty of daylight when the sun is not too high. The light is softer and more flattering, avoiding harsh shadows. Also, the styling is still fresh and you are looking forward to the big day.
What we do if it rains?
A rainy wedding day is probably not what most couples want, but it’s important to know that the weather can be unpredictable. As a photographer, I’m prepared for it. While rain can be a challenge on a wedding day, it also offers unique opportunities to capture stunning and romantic images. Transparent umbrellas, puddles and reflective light can create a magical atmosphere.
As a professional, I have several ideas and strategies for taking great pictures in the rain. There are also ways to take advantage of the rain by capturing romantic and emotional moments in the downpour.
Whatever the weather, I will do my best to document your special day. If the weather plays a significant role in your wedding plans, we can discuss alternative arrangements in advance. The aim is to create beautiful and unforgettable memories for you, whatever the conditions.
What means "First Look"?
The first look is a special moment when the couple sees each other for the first time before the ceremony. It’s an emotional and very personal moment that many couples want to capture. The first look can be combined with the couple’s photoshoot.
What if we feel uncomfortable in front of the camera?
This is a common concern for many couples, as not everyone enjoys being in the spotlight or is comfortable in front of the camera. As a wedding photographer, it’s my job to ensure that the couple feel comfortable and relaxed during the shoot.
To address this, I usually have a pre-shoot chat with the couple to get to know them and build a rapport. I strive to make the shoot as comfortable as possible and to provide direction that feels natural and authentic. Various techniques, such as casual conversation, movement or music, help to ease any nervousness. My aim is to create images that reflect their personality and love without making them feel uncomfortable.
Could we also take photos with the family?
Yes, it is possible to have additional family photos taken within the agreed time. The best time for group photos is after the champagne reception.
