The yellow inspiration from my workshop continued into a gorgeous styled couple shoot on Landgoed Te Werve. Nelleke and Marinus were the very brave models for the shoot, they got married in May 2011 and had the opportunity to once again, get dressed up and relive their special day. Thank you guys for posing for us! I really appreciate your willingness! Standing in front of 13 cameras and 3 videographers is not a joke :) You guys were perfect! Then I want to share some very exciting news :) For the first time ever we filmed my workshop! Thank you to the fabulous team of Ryan de Wit of Unicorn Wedding Films for the gorgeous movie! You can view the movie at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
Iaan and I are finally home. We returned from our 50 day trip to Europe last Friday and since then I’ve been trying to get my head around everything that happened on the trip. I’ve been scanning through photos and re-calling all the fantastic memories of the 50 days in 5 countries trip. One of the places we visited, while in Europe, was Den Haag, Holland, where I hosted a two day workshop with some fabulous wedding photographers.
In my journey as a photographer and business owner, I have realized that I will always keep learning wherever the road may lead me. I will NEVER know everything, but what I have learned already and do know, can mean so much more if shared with others.
Along my journey, I have learned to use my camera in a way that makes me feel confident and in control. I’ve also made some stupid mistakes and unfortunately wasted money on unnecessary things. In this journey, I took some detours and here and there, I discovered short cuts. In my business, I’ve created some processes that help me run a smoother operation :) and I try to improve them all the time.
The wedding day of Summi & Tasillo was celebrated at Cap Rocat in Mallorca islands, seriously one of the most spectacular venue’s I’ve ever seen! The event was a celebration of phenomenal style and true wedding bliss! Summi’s gorgeous Jimmy Choo’s were to die for and her dress something I can not even describe in words.
After the wedding ceremony at the Hilton hotel’s gorgeous cathedral, all the guest were shuttled back to Cap Rocat, to enjoy drinks on the terrace. The pre-drinks were followed by a turquoise inspired dinner party down in the courtyard. In short, it was just PERFECT!
The wedding of Summi & Talliso in Mallorca was one every photographer dreams of shooting! This wedding was a three day celebration on the Spanish Island of Mallorca. The pre-party on the Friday was at Puro Beach, a beach club with a phenomenal view, right on the ocean. The restaurant is furnished with modern, chic white interior which is one of my favourite styles!
All the guest were asked to wear white for the party, which of course made it a dream to photograph. Summi & Talliso welcomed all their guests as they arrived, while everyone enjoyed cocktails and snacks.
As you know by now Iaan and I were very fortunate to visit Mallorca Islands a few weeks ago, while second shooting for Claire Morgan from Austria. The first day in Mallorca Iaan, Claire and I visited Cap Rocat, one of the most impressive venue’s I’ve ever seen! The venue use to be a old military fortress and it was recently converted into a five star hotel.
Early the morning met with all the other service providers, to discuss the flow of Summi & Tassilo’s wedding day. Jeanette from Prime Moment Wedding Co-ordination did all the organizing and all three days was filled by ORF, an Austrian national tv station.
Walking around Mallorca with an iphone in my pocket :)
Iaan and I had the best three days in Palma City! Despite the fact that we don’t speak Spanish and almost missed our flight back, I loved it so much!! Palma is a really great place! The sun was shining all the time and we had ice-cream and mojito’s every day, which made me really happy! The city has the most beautiful cathedral and some cute shops. The first day in the city, we took a trip on the red bus to get a sense of direction and then we just walked through the streets, taking some pictures and popping into a few stores.
We’ve been having so many good times here in Europe! Last weekend iaan and I shot a wedding in Mallorca Islands, which was so gorgeous! The island was tropical with amazing weather. I also shot a wedding in Munich under the Alps the past weekend and now I’m preparing for the Munich workshop, which starts on Wednesday. So loads of photos still to come :)
There I was sitting nervously trying to remember the questions I wanted to ask Carmen & Ingo and I din’t look up to see iaan’s anxious waving hand, trying to tell me I’m already live on KIKI TV! So, if you want to see the absolute failing start to our first KIKI TV show from Europe, you have to watch this one :)
