Great Gatsby Wedding

The Great Gatsby movie release is a good  reason to pull this fun 1920's inspired wedding out of the archive and give it a new life. 

Even thought this is one of my older weddings, I always considered it one of my favorites, because of it's originality and the fun factor. 

I have been a fan of the Roaring Twenties since the original Great Gatsby movie with Robert Redford and I am happy to see this trend to return.

Honor and PF were ahead of their time, they choose 1920's as a theme for their wedding years before it became a trend. 

You have to admire the attention to the detail, the elaborate hairstyles, the beaded flapper dress, the feathers and the pearls, the fedora hat 

and off course the red lipstick. 

This 1920's inspired wedding is as fun today as it was years ago.

Spring in Paris

Spring is the most romantic time to be in Paris. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shinning and the chairs at the outdoor cafes are inviting. 

I was lucky to be in Paris for a first sunny spring weekend and it was beautiful. 

One of my favorite places were Tuileries gardens. One can have a very pleasant day in the gardens, enjoying the blooming flowers and trees, people watching, reading, or having a picnic.

Everybody knows the Parisiens enjoy their outdoor cafes. Did you know they also love picnics?

On a nice sunny day everybody is outside, enjoying the sunshine and a good company. The Sunday I was there, it seemed like the whole town was outside. Everybody decided to celebrate the first warm day by having a Sunday lunch outdoors. I saw people having a picnic by Seine, on the river bank, on a bench in the park and there were blankets covering every inch of the lawn at Tuileries. Tres bien!

The spring in Paris, happy and colorful as the carousel by the Eiffel tower.

Love in Amsterdam

 Couple in Love, a portrait session in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the next stop on my photography journey across the Europe in search of couples in love.

I did not have to search very long, I found my subjects right where I stayed, at a cozy floating B&B called Minties. My hosts, Wout and Lea were super nice, cute and in love. They  showed me how the love in Amsterdam looks like. 

We had fun during our shoot, we biked, we went for a boat ride and I managed not to fall into the water and not to get run by a bicycle, haha.

Thank you Wout and Lea for making my Amsterdam experience a great one.
