Tom & Mercedes

Tom and Mercedes' wedding party took place at a Moulin Rouge inspired theme café.

Their colorful and beautiful friends posed happily for me even though the venue was hot ; jazzy music filled the room and drinks flowed abundantly. 

I've edited the images in this way they got a cinematic feel and vibe, keeping that Baz Luhrmann movie in mind.

Yana & Sebastian playdate

Sebastian and Yana got together for a romantic get together at Baked ; after enjoying all sweet stuff, they played and oldskool game of Mikado. 

Thanks Caroline for the lovely reception and making sure Yana had a lactose-free piece of cake !

Ylis & Till

Children are the best subjects to have in front of your camera. Even when they pull funny faces, they still look amazingly good. They never really pose ; they just stay true to their own individuality.

Hence the pictures of these ubercute siblings. I always promise the moms and dads at least 10 good shots and a collage but was mom Sandy in for a treat ! Her kids are masters at 'posing' and really worked with me. Super easy and fun. Even though it was hot as hell ; they kept on smiling and running for us.

Nicki & Hicham

 It may have taken Nicki and Hicham 8 years to tie the knot but their wedding will certainly be worth the wait. To share their happiness and tell their friends and family to save the date, they agreed to be my first ever couple to shoot their engagement.

Between the surprise 'will you marry me please Nicki' and the wedding next year, months of preparation will precede ; from bridal fittings to choosing a location, a wedding theme, caterers and who to pick as best man and maid of honour. 

Hicham and Nicki picked me to capture all these fine moments of preparation and I'm thrilled to bits to be part of all this beauty  and TLC. The happy couple just can't wait to finally count down to June 6th 2015, when friends and family will gather and celebrate their nuptials.  I will not be their main wedding photographer - I am married to Nicki's dad so my place is beside him that day - but I will have some camera equipment somewhere up my sleeve to keep some visual memories for the next generation to come.
