Verloving – Engagement: Bert & Mel

It seems that I’m on a blogpost rampage last couple of weeks. But I’m really excited about a couple of super fun eSession results I have to show you. Let us start with Bert & Mel!

The initial plan for a location for Bert & Mel was to use the city of Kortrijk as a backdrop for the shoot but then I discovered this abandoned building just a couple of meters away from where I work. (and before you all ask, it’s here) and they were immediately won by the idea. We had a fun late afternoon shoot and I think Mel & Bert will agree that an eSession is the ideal occasion to get know each other, make you feel more “at ease” with your photographer and get you a couple of hot pictures during the process.

Wirward was yielding the flash on a stick and the sunbounce on this one. And there are also quite a few GF1 shots among these pictures. Can you spot em ?

A new space

Back in February we started visiting a few kitchen makers with our own sketchup plans. We wanted to integrate the kitchen and the living room into one cook-able, live-able and workable space. A place were I could invite clients. Not an easy task for a 8,5m by 3m,5 surface. You don’t want to be cutting carrots next to your television, you don’t want to be watching television in your kitchen.

The people at Keukens Fierens really understood what we wanted and they kinda “knew” what we liked (and what we don’t like …). They adjusted our plans and added their own vision on our interior.

To display albums and to have a daylight feel I wanted lots of soft light and ended up choosing a light fixture by delta light: the Jeti Plano H 260C

After a month of preparations (electricity, gas, plastering, painting, painting and some more painting) they came and installed our kitchen last week and now our new space is finally completed. It turned out 100% how we envisioned it.

And for me it was fun rediscovering my own house with a camera and an ideal opportunity to shoot some interior pictures. Cupcakes by @wenti 🙂

(A couple of people already asked about our TV furniture. All the wooden cupboards are custom built by Keuken Fierens but I’m not sure if you can just order those without a Kitchen, only one way to find out)

eSession · verloving · Julie & Melissa

To get you all ready for one final day of working before the weekend is here I’ve lined up a special post.

A couple of months ago Julie & Melissa contacted me if I wanted to be their wedding photographer but unfortunately I was already booked for their special day. A couple of weeks ago they contacted me again because they were in a bit of a tight spot to have their wedding invitations done in time, and boy was I very happy they asked me. They found the perfect location for their shoot and a couple of days after that we found us the the perfect weather.

Meeting them was a blind date but what (sane male) photographer wouldn’t be happy with a cute couple like that! Everybody soon felt relaxed and I quickly found out that those girls have enough passion for 3 … yet with my level of professionalism *kuch* I just focused on taking the pictures 😉

It was a very fun evening and now that their wedding invitations have been sent I’m finally allowed to show you some of the pictures. Julie & Melissa, I had a great time (noticed that?) and I wish you two a super beautiful wedding day with lots of love & fun!
