Bonjour, Hi,
Dearest Couple,
I’m Wim, a fine art photographer who captures elegant, honest, and meaningful memories of life’s most significant celebrations. I would be honoured to be part of your wedding in Europe.
Every couple has their own unique story, and
my approach is entirely bespoke—tailored to
your vision, the moments you value most,
and the details that make
your wedding so yours.
My goal is to capture these with
honesty and depth,
crafting images that feel as real and
meaningful as the day itself.
This is just the starting point. I’d love to connect with you to hear more about your plans and discuss how we could create something special together.
Looking forward to chatting and discovering if we’re the right fit for your celebration!

I use a refined storytelling technique to capture a compelling narrative with every photograph. My approach to wedding photography lets you savor the significance of the moment with an eye for the smallest of details. True to life, and framed by modern romance.

There is a vast range of emotions, beauty and depth to be found in the details and human connections of wedding celebrations, if you only know where to look.
Holding A Reverence For Real Emotions
These are the moments you will relive, and these are the photographs that will remind you how it all felt.
Capturing All With An Editorial Essence
Helping you savor and share these stories through generations with iconic, fashion-inspired captures that still feel like you.

a note from
I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be.
With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time.
The honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document your
intimate wedding celebration in Ireland.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING THE WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS?
frequently asked questions →
As your photographer, I will make every effort to contribute to a seamless experience. Much of this comes down to full and easy communication with you, and partnering with your planner to coordinate as needed. I’ll build an organic photography timeline that is conducive to your experience, enhancing each moment rather than taking away from your enjoyment.
CLOSE
WILL YOU POSE OR DIRECT US WHILE YOU DOCUMENT OUR WEDDING?
My approach is a delicate mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on the moment. I can sense when you’re carrying tension or feeling anxious, and will provide pointers to help you ease into the moment for naturally beautiful photos. You can expect careful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself.
CLOSE
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MAKES A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPH?
An incredible photo is the one that you find yourself returning to with fondness throughout your life. So, I would say that the best wedding photographs are more than timing, posing, backgrounds, and lighting. A large part of creating a beautiful photo is capturing the real moments so you can look back and feel genuinely immersed in this time of celebration.
CLOSE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
You’ll receive a complete collection of professionally edited photographs in a private online gallery. Each image will be carefully edited to enhance the beauty of the moment while remaining true to your lived experience. These can be downloaded, shared and printed with ease.
CLOSE
HOW DO WE BOOK OUR DATE(S) WITH YOU?
Reach out, and I’ll send booking materials with your preferred collection. You can officially book your date(s) with a signed contract and booking fee.
CLOSE
LET'S BEGIN
Envision a photographic experience that will capture the essence of this heartfelt celebration. You’ll love reminiscing on the many memories of this wedding event. To ensure that your date is fully reserved, please email me with your preferred collection and any other notes. Last, but not least, allow me to express my sincere gratitude. I look forward to hopefully working together.
