  • Instagram Adventures

    • First looks are slowly becoming one of my favourite parts of a wedding day and every single time I get butterflies in my stomach.
.
I believe this moment is about you. It's a safe space for you to enjoy that first glimpse of each other without having to worry about the watching eyes of your guests. It's at this moment that I'll take a step back and just let you feel whatever it us you are feeling and give you space to express your emotions.

    • There are ways to have some intimate moments for just the two of you on your wedding day whether you have 2 or 200 guests. Here are 3 of my favourites:
.
- Get ready together
- Have a first look away from the wedding location
- Take extra time for your couple pictures and read each other your own personalised vows.

    • You wedding day doesn't need to follow any traditions if you don't want it to. .
Don't let the pressure of family, friends or the media make you do something that doesn't light you up with joy and excitement.
.
These two did exactly that. They went skiing, because that is what they love to do more than anything, and going skiing in their wedding clothes was a real dream come true.

    • I've really fallen out of love with social media this year. I love going out and having an awesome time with my couples, but picking images to post on social media is so tedious.
.
The online world is full of so much inauthenticity. So many photographers create styled shoots because their couples aren't instagramable enough and I hate that. .
And real couples are made to feel like the most meaningful day of their lives isn't good enough because it doesn't look like something from a magazine. It's utter bullsh*t and I hate it. The wedding industry is often more of an extension of the world of fashion rather than something that is about love, feelings and emotions. I certainly didn't become a wedding photographer to capture perfectly styled reception tables. I did it because I believe in capturing the things that mean something to the people who hired me. Not trying to win Instagram or get magazine features.
.
I'm going to keep championing my amazing real couples who do their weddings their way because all they care about is having an unforgettable day.

    • I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t believe there should be a particular day where you are expected to show grand gestures of love or let someone know how much you love them. You should do that every day.
.
I tell @mennoekk every day that I love him ongefuckinglovelijk veel. I don’t need flowers or expensive gifts to know he loves me too. I have something so much better. I have his love and support everyday of my life. I have the gift of one last kiss every night before we go to sleep. I have a lifetime of adventures. 📷 by me & @taralillyphotography
    • One final shot from A & J's trash the dress session last week. Getting to ski with my couples and capture their adventures is soooo much fun.

    • One of the benefits of being addicted to skiing? I know the best locations to take my couples ;-) Not just in the winter, but in the summer as well.
.
That's why I love it when couples contact me for adventure sessions. They put their trust in me to take them on an adventure somewhere and it is always so much fun!
.
If you're wondering what adventure sessions are, they are so much more than just a photoshoot. Find out more about them by clicking the link in my bio.

    • A & J didn't have time to go skiing on their wedding day, but it was something they so desperately wanted to do, so they decided to book an after-wedding adventure session with me and we shredded up the slopes of Axamer Lizum near Innsbruck.

Would you love to put on your wedding clothes again and do something fun?

    • Dear couples - write your own vows!
.
When I got married, we just had a civil ceremony, where the only word we got to say was "Ja".
.
Since then I've witnessed so many couples who have chosen to keep the legal part of their ceremony separate and make their marriage ceremony truly personal by writing their own vows to each other.
.
If you don't love the idea of bearing your heart and soul in front of your guests, you can always choose to have a private vow reading alone with your photographer, or choose to elope and make the whole day just about you.

    • Some people ask me "Why would you want to go snowboarding on your wedding day?".
.
I think that's a question that a lot of my couple's don't even need to justify with an answer. .
As one of my 2018 groom's so perfectly said when he was asked that very question for a wedding magazine, his answer was "Why wouldn't you?!"
.
Forget those people who just don't get it. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life! ;-)

    • I didn't used to believe in first looks. I was always more for the tradition of the couple seeing each other for the first time as they walk down the aisle.
.
But I will admit that I was wrong.
.
During getting ready, I could feel how excited and nervous these two were. There were a lot of emotions and even a few tears.
.
Being able to have a first look before their ceremony meant that they could have a private moment together to feel everything they were feeling, and enjoy a bit of calm before the day kicked in to full swing.
.
If you are planning a wedding and aren't sure about whether to do a first look, my recommendation would be to just do it. It's a moment that you will both cherish. And if you're working with me as your photographer, I'll help you plan it in to your schedule and find you a suitable location away from watching eyes. But if you haven't booked me for your wedding yet, don't delay in getting in touch. I only have 5 spaces left for 2019 weddings and am starting to fill up key dates for 2020 too.
