With a storm around the corner and the clouds rapidly moving in, we were able to capture the sun seeping through the clouds just before sunset!

When the couple showed me this vintage 1965 Buick Electra 225, I had to climb in the back seat and get some shots with them in it. Superb couple, classic car
When I found out they were going to fill the dance floor with smoke, I knew I wanted a unique angle. I had a short meeting with my second shooter and assistant and told them I'd be shooting from the top of the staircase to get a wide view and my second could shoot from the floor. I directed my assistant where she was to hold my light to illuminate it and to watch me for signals. Im so thrilled we were able to capture this image of their first dance.
What can I say about this photo? We only had a few minutes to do the bride and groom photos so I came across this boardwalk and just had Chris and Patrina go for a short walk to enjoy the view. I kept a really good distance so that they both could have a moment for themselves as husband and wife.... then this photo came to life!
What a magically romantic night this was for a surprise proposal! Joaquin planned a trip to New York where he arranged from Ever After Proposals to have his declaration of love on the Jumbotron in Times Square. It had been raining all day but things cleared up enough to pull things off without a hitch! The rain on the streets made everything shine and glow. It was an incredible silver lining to the stormy weather. To see everyone respond to what was happening, cheering them on and clapping was an amazing experience. It was also exciting because I had to follow them on their walk and photograph them surreptitiously. I felt like a secret agent on a mission! So, mission accomplished and congratulations to Andrea and Joaquin!
We brought these two for a romantic stroll through busy downtown San Diego traffic fresh off saying their "I do's!" What's better than having a red light to stop traffic? These two lovebirds!
University of Toronto is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Toronto for wedding photography. When we arrived an idea struck in my head, a classic pose that would seem to fit the classic architecture of the buildings. The loaction has allowed us to capture a classic photo that will be a everlasting memory.
This wedding was on a sunny summer´s day in Landgraaf, The Netherlands. At the end of the day we took our drone to make this nice picture. The couple´s wedding was at the garden of Mondo Verde.
This was the first time Cindy & Richard were reintroduced as husband & wife as they walked down the aisle the guests have taken out their cell photos to snap a photo. I thought it would be cool to set up this shot as if this beautiful couple was walking down the red carpet. The photograph turned out great as the pot lights above also created a symmetry to make this photography more dramatic and powerful.
This was taken just moments after the bride and groom saw each other for the first time on their wedding day! The sky was misty and foggy over the lake that was behind them and they climbed over rocks and water to get to this spot for this image! I love this intimate moment between the bride and groom.
This was taken at Trim Castle, Co Meath, Ireland just before the couples first dance.
This was taken at the wedding of Maria and James in Putney, London. Marie from Norway and James a real London lad first met when Marie was working part time behind the bar of James's local pub. James spent weeks trying to persuade Maria to come out on a date. As they say the rest is history. Taken after we stole the couple away from the party to grab some portraits this was taken on Putney common just across from the bus station. Under exposed several stops (to hide the buses in the background) and shot on a Fujifilm XT-1 its goes to show that that wedding photography is not all about tropical beaches and stunning sunsets.
This unexpected rain shower resulted in 2 very wet photographers and a blown speedlight but consider it worth the sacrifice. Taken at the stunning Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hatfield Heath.
This special moment in time was created on a late summer morning in The Netherlands. This lovely couple asked me how I could show their love for each other, while still seeing this beautiful landscape. This was my reaction to their warming hearts.
This shot was taken very close to where the couple live. They walk this street often and it provided a significant landmark, CN Tower, in the background. A telephoto lens was used to bring the CN tower into the scene via the lens compression. The whimsical yet romantic movement by the couple suited well with the setting and the couple was incredibly happy to capture such romantic moment so close to their home. This image was taken in Toronto, Ontario.
This shot was taken at Chippenham park. I noticed earlier in the day that the house had lights outside and therefore would be lit up. I was lucky to also get a dramatic sky which I think adds to the overall shot.
This picture is made at a prewedding party and the bride has decided to organize a rehearsal of throwing of a bouquet. Sunset light has made a picture unforgettable.
This photo was taken in the south of France where I was as a Second Shooter at Eppel Photography! Thanks for this opportunity in this place to make this fantastic photo! The bride and groom where walking in THE eveningsun the light was magnificient!
This photo was taken during a lovely English summer sunset earlier this year. Layla and Ben Whisker were an absolute delight to photograph and their wedding was super fun! I really enjoy the editing process that goes into shoots like these. Transforming a simple photograph into a piece of art is so satisfying!
This one was taken by the end of the photoshoot..it was a fairly sunny day but around the Golden hour we were blessed to have these beautiful and Dramatic clouds that were just Dreamy.
What we really love about this photo is how the happy couple Yazan & Mayasa just forgot about the cameras and all the action and just enjoyed that they have each other. Long live love!
Many Thanks to my Partner and team the Atelier Jordan.
This is a very special wedding for me, my brother's wedding in Maldives! I've been honored to be his photographer!! Amazing location, stunning sunset and white sand have made a unforgettable wedding!!
I wish all the best to the new family.. Alice
This image was shot towards the end of a beautiful day in Cabos Mexico! The bride and groom and I boated to a little island close by and the sand was untouched in many places creating a beautiful canvas for this image of them walking towards the ocean and the sunset.
This cruise ship (the SS Roterdam) is very popular with weddings in the Netherlands, my goal was to create a picture that was not created yet with this ship. On arrival I already saw this staircase, but how to make it even more special? With sunset so! I am very happy with the result.
This couple are definitely soulmates.. Two halves of the same soul joining together in life's journey
This castle is the one closest to our home, a few weeks earlier we made about the same photo as this one. But unfortunately this didn't worked out due to a terrible rain storm came up to us. So we practiced this photo and loves how this one get out the camera.
This Bride was playing with the bouquet. In the heat of the moment i took this picture! Thanks again to Eppel Photography to give me the possibility to take this picture as Secondshooter!
This beautiful beach had an excellent scenic view. The couple was eager to go there and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the water, and I was eager to capture this intimate moment
These two adventurous souls came to Hawaii to celebrate the anniversary of their marriage. They reached out to me in search of a Hawaiian adventure true to their hearts. We hiked down into the sea cliffs off the coast of Oahu at sunrise, where the waves smash and swirl against the lava rock. It was a truly spectacular morning. For this shot, I slowed my shutter just enough to capture the movement and energy of the water.
These are the little moments that I love. So real, so pure and so sweet. I try to capture a wedding as real as possible. At this picture the groom helped his bride with her beautiful wedding dress, after which they made their entrance on this cruise ship. The combination of symmetry and catching this moment makes this picture so special to me.
The true essence of Indian Weddings stem from the customary rituals that take place throughout the wedding day. And the most exciting of these is the Varmala ceremony. It was all about happiness, beauty and excitement when Ankit and Surabhi exchanged the garlands at this opulent Varmala ceremony in Goa (India). Happiness on a string!
The father of the bride was looking quite dapper on the day of the wedding. I have noticed that every time he looked at the bride, his eyes would light up. So, I arranged a first look with the father of the bride.... ❤️
The crystal ball serves as intermediate object, not only reflecting the purity of love but also capturing the moment of eternality. Keeping the proper distance while taking focus on the crystal ball is the key to take this photo successfully.
The bride is a professional modern dancer in New York.
She began training as a girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana along side the women holding her train.
I wanted to incorporate their special three decade connection into our iconic New York rooftop kiss.
It didn’t take much. When the groom dipped the bride,
the ladies improvised into perfect supporting choreography!
Every wedding couple has a unique story, and I try to capture it with fun, elegant images.
The beautiful couple Bar & Idan wanted to have a nature engagement photo shoot. In Israel it's a bit challenging in the summer, we found a lovely eggplant field in a sunny day and that's the result.

Taken at the Mill Park hotel in Donegal Town after the first dance.
Photo session at Kakaako Park during summer time. After the sunset on the way back, the sky turns into this gorgeous gradation of color.
Perle & Baptiste's wedding on top of a mountain was all kind of amazing. We ran away during sunset to shoot amongst the summer peaks, and time stopped for a while.
Orthodox wedding in Greece
One of our stunning brides on the top of the mountain during her Alaska destination wedding. This was one of our last frames and we felt like it so perfectly captured her excitement of the day.
One of my favs of this year!
Beautiful church, lovely couple and a bit of light :-)
On our way to the park shoot before the ceremony, I had the groom sitting in my car and we got caught at a red light on the road right next to
the bride's limousine. As soon as I witnessed the bride attempting to reach the groom's hand, I quickly grabbed my camera from the back seat and captured the moment.
Many girls would dream about being a princess, just like in fairy tales, so does Bride Lee Yan. Love is not just a feeling but a journey. Picture is taken in Kellie’s Castle, Ipoh.
Lovely couple, awesome location!
Shot this over a lake with a flash behind the couple.
Love to experiment!
One flash behind the couple, to created this lovely image.
Jessica & Myles day was truly something else!! It was filled with so much passion love and respect. Myles and Jessica met at a friends wedding just before Myles was to sign for the armed forces....he knew from the very moment he met Jessica that she was the one!! So the forces did not get Myles....Jessica did! The entire day was magical so the only way to end our evening was to pop a little extra colour into the trees! xx
Jess and Shawn share a kiss- vintage style! They were married in a vineyard outside of Philadelphia this Summer and have a love of all things vintage.
It was not really a spectacular lake there, but I wanted to get a reflection of them, so I decided to go on the other side and made this shot.
In this newly re-develop town of Honolulu, Hawaii, where it has all kinds of graffiti painted, the couple was having a blast in this colorful town.
In every dark place, shines the light of 2 lovers
Image made in vechio Castle in Verona, Italy. The night itself already delivers a set of fascinating lights, just take care to make the correct framework of the couple considering the geometry of the bridge. The photo with long exposure is responsible for creating such effects on the lights.
Ian & Natalies engament shoot. We spent an amazing evening around London, ending with the very dramatic back drop of St Pauls. Natalie & Ian are such an energetic fun couple, we laughed from the beginning to end of this shoot. Their wedding will certainly be awesome! x
I was lucky to get this shot at a wedding in Zanzibar after having very little light left at the end of the ceremony. The couple didn't want any shots on the beach which meant having to be a bit more creative, but also made things easier as we focussed the couple shoot around the jetty where the ceremony had been while all the guests were having cocktails. I got the couple to lie down the jetty while I quickly got my drone in the air and tried to hover above them in the wind!
I was about to get a simple posed photo when out of the corner of my eye I saw a container full of white umbrellas. My assistant and I jumped in and started opening them all for the photo. The fun part was closing them all again!
I made this photo on amazing wedding while I was shooting the getting ready. I saw her dress, I saw this hotel room and this wonderful natural light of three windows and said to the bride let us do what you see on this photo.
I knew right of the bat when I first spoke to Fiona & Macko that they were adventures and full of energy. I brought them to the cliffs of Scarborough Bluffs which over look Lake Ontario. We enjoyed the stunning view and all of the photographs that were captured.
I have shot at this venue so many times that I wanted something different. We decided to use the iconic brick chimney and do a Mario jump backlit. I love this and I love this couple!
I have been waiting for years to photograph a full wedding on top of Half Dome , in Yosemite National Park. The logistics, and sheer effort of two days backcountry travel with full gear, were formidable. After the ceremony, I posed the couple on the edge of the 5,000 ft face and captured this image , that I had envisioned all these years.
I had a chance to shoot this wedding at Lugano & Locarno, Switzerland near Italian border with a local renowned photographer. While she took the forefront, I was comfortable shooting from a distance. This magic moment happened just after the wedding when the couple was proceeding for their reception party. Love and happiness floated in the air as the happy crowd and blessed couple let the colorful balloons uplift in the vast sky. The perfect upbeat frame was shot from afar.
I got to go up to shoot this awesome elopement wedding in the middle of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Unfortunately, as the ceremony ended it started to rain so we didn't have much time to do a couple shoot before everything was ruined. I managed to get the bride and groom and all the maasai askaris (security) ,who were there to watch for wild animals, to get up on the hill before they were completely drenched. A really quick shot, but lots of fun!
Got this great couple to leave the venue after the meal and head down to Muckross Head in Donegal, Ireland as the sun was setting
First of all I had to persuade this bridal pair to do this and that was not the best decision (for me), because I got that champagne all over my camera and myself, but wow I got an amazing photo and made them both really happy about that ;)
First kiss marks the beginning for a couple under the blessing of all those attending the wedding. It is a significant moment for the couple especially when it can be captured with the congregation for the wedding! The use of a wide angle lens was to accentuate the moment between the couple while capturing all their beloved guests! This shot was taken at the chapel of Doctor's House in Kleinburg, Ontario.
Falling in love with Bali, Bride Lee Yan and Kok Foo return to this beautiful island to capture their love story. Her white dress against the dark stone walls shows perfect contrast to the overall picture and her back stare and posture was in a perfect and gives the picture a slight mysterious feel.
Dreamlike surrounding in a misty forest, emerges a pair of lovely couple, reminds us of the love story happen in Pandora. This picture is captured in a protected forest in Cameron Highlands, Pahang.
Becca and Nic chose to have their wedding at the Russian River, California. I spotted this specific location a week before the wedding, when scouting the venue, and brought the newlyweds here right after the ceremony to make sure we capture the gorgeous late afternoon light. This shot was actually taken while the couple was posing for our drone pilot. So glad I continued to shoot and at some point realized I wanted to use my long lens to make the beautiful background appear closer. This let me show both the serenity of the couple and of the nature.
Beautiful bride taking a moment, just before she walks outside to become married. Taken at the stunning Barooga homestead in NSW.
Audrey and Derrick were married in September 2016 at Oak Island, North Carolina. (United States) www.brycelafoonphotography.com
At this high and unexpected point I have appeared at the right time in the right place, as a result I managed to keep very interesting foreshortening.
As the sun set just before the bride and groom were to head into their reception, we had to get "one more shot" on this hill! The clouds were so perfect for an image like this!
Aisha and Ali got married at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall, an atmospheric Napoleonic Gun battery over looking Plymouth Sound. It's a very dark venue but at least in some of the rooms there's a lovely contrasty light from the gun ports and windows which I used to make this image. For me its an example of just how good lovely light can look when everything comes together.
A quintessential English wedding held at a Somerset church and reception back at the Bride's family home. The British weather (rain) poured down all day, but we were lucky to have a brief period before sun down to capture a few portraits.
A dreamlike setting within which to capture this tender portrait! So glad for us as well as the couple to get this break in the weather.
A private beach at your wedding venue! We had to make time to head down to the water. A cornish wedding would hardly be right without a bit of sun, sand and sea. One of my favourites from a Sophie and Max's day at Polhawn Fort, Cornwall.
A lovely photo shoot, capture a pure romantic moments between the flowers. Bar&Idan <3

A hot day, beautiful couple and this awesome location makes this shot :-)
"Life's a lot more fun when you aren't responsible for your actions.” ― Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes
The Bill Watterson quote was the concept for this couple. Kissing in the middle of a street in a cardboard box – also called time machine – was the right thing for their day!
"If this was a dream, I don't want to wake up"
"I've been looking
for you since I heard
my first fairytale"
This was a gorgeous wedding in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. I loved the light coming into the suite and the dress. I wanted to show the bond between a bride and her dress.
"I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once." - John Green
The couple was not a fan to shoot a beach shot. But we thought let just give it a try and voila we got one mad top shot :)
It was a surprise proposal. The couple from Canada decided to spend their long weekend in Northern California, and the guy thought it would be a perfect opportunity to propose. He rented a Lamborghini, hired a photographer, and brought his girl to the Golden Gate Bridge. All I had to do was to secretly capture this beautiful moment.
