Pato + Laura

“That time I got a call from Australia asking if I could capture a couple that just got married in Utrecht…”

Yes…so this story started WAY different than the usual wedding-related stories… I got a call from Australia from a dutch girl who wanted to gift her friend a photoshoot the day she got married. Wait…what?!

Usually I get inquiries for weddings about a year before the wedding and it’s a whole proces..but not this time. This is the story: Laura (a dutch girl) and Pato (a guy from Chile) decided to get married and Lisanne (a good friend from Laura living in Australia) couldn’t be there for the wedding. So she found me on instagram and gave me a call, asking if I could go and capture the moment after they would come out of the city hall. This would be her gift to her friend and in that way she was able to experience a little bit of the special day even though she couldn’t be there.

So there I was, waiting at the cafe we decided to meet. It was a rainy day in beautiful Utrecht and I had already asked the cafe owner if it were possible for us to come in and take some shots if it were raining. And turns out it was raining the moment of the shoot.. so we had some coffee, shared some stories and took some shots inside first. After a while the rain stopped and we enjoyed hopping around the city!

Laura & Pato, it was such a joy to capture you guys on this special day. I’m sure we’ll meet again, maybe in Chile :)

And Lisanne, what a joy you reached out to me on insta, see you hopefully in Mexico this year!
