FAQ

Check out the FAQ page to learn more about my approach, what to expect from your couple session, and practical information regarding cancellations and reschedules.

A 1-hour couple photoshoot is ideal for a relaxed session in one picturesque area. With 2 or 3 hours we can move between different surroundings and create a wider variety of couple portraits.

Choose the duration that matches the experience you have in mind. If you are unsure, share your ideas with me and we will determine together what suits your photo session best.

Absolutely! Every LGBTQ+ couple is welcome in front of my camera.

There is nothing to explain beforehand and no version of yourselves to perform. Simply be together, and your couple photoshoot will take shape around your connection, resulting in portraits that genuinely feel like you.

After your booking, I will send you a map with clear instructions to the designated proposal spot, along with a few simple preparations.

On the day itself, I am already in position when you arrive. I keep my distance and remain discreet until after the proposal, so nothing gives the surprise away.

We acknowledge each other, you take the moment at your own pace, and I capture the reactions as they unfold. Afterwards we continue with a relaxed couple photoshoot nearby, so your first moments as an engaged couple become part of the same story.

Book from an inbox your partner does not share and keep the confirmation out of any shared calendar. I only contact the person who booked, never the one being surprised.

On the day, all you need is a natural reason to be dressed up and walking in the right direction. A dinner reservation nearby does the job.

A few small preparations make all the difference:

1. Make eye contact with me when you arrive and wait for my signal, so we both know the moment can begin.
2. Keep the ring with you and take it out yourself when the time comes.
3. Take a little longer than usual while proposing, so I have time to capture several photos rather than one.
4. When you place the ring, keep your hands below your partner’s, so the gesture stays visible to the camera.

That is all you need to remember. The rest is yours, and I will be there to capture it as it happens.

Your proposal photos are yours to announce first. I will not share anything from your session until you have told the people you want to tell.

Take the time you need. There is no rush on my end, and your photos are ready in your gallery whenever you are.

CINEMATIC COUPLE PHOTOGRAPHY IN AMSTERDAM

A Film Aesthetic Straight from the Camera

The look of your photos is created while we shoot, not afterwards. Drawing on over a decade of professional experience, I work with a medium format camera and cinematic settings, adjusting everything manually as the light changes. What you see taking shape during your photo session is the look that arrives in your gallery, without editing or retouching.

The Character of an Artistic Lens

Part of my signature comes from the artistic lens itself: painterly softness, subtle vignetting, swirly bokeh, and, in bright light, occasional gentle glare or halo. These characteristics are part of the photograph rather than effects added later, giving your couple portraits their distinctive film-like character.

Documentary Portraits of Real Moments

I photograph the in-between moments — a glance, a whispered joke, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Rather than building the shoot around fixed poses, I observe how you naturally interact and compose each frame around that connection. The result is expressive couple photography that feels cinematic while staying true to your lovestory.

COUPLE PRINTS

Your photos are made to be seen every day. Order professional prints straight from your gallery: fine-art cards for your save-the-dates or wedding invitations, a framed portrait for the wall you walk past every day, or a lay-flat photobook holding your favorite photos from the session.

Every couple photoshoot package includes a €25 print credit to get you started. Order directly from your gallery and have your finished prints delivered free with express courier service, anywhere in the world.

YOUR COUPLE PHOTOSHOOT IN AMSTERDAM

A Compact Couple Photoshoot Route, Planned in Advance

I work along a compact walking route rather than moving between disconnected landmarks. In the Jordaan and Amsterdam’s canal belt, bridges, atmospheric streets, waterfront views, and quieter corners sit within a short distance of each other. For a greener setting, we can shape the session around Vondelpark or another of the city’s parks instead. You receive a suggested meeting point and route beforehand, so you do not need to plan it yourself.

Why I Avoid Amsterdam’s Busiest Streets

The most photographed corner of Amsterdam is not always the most useful place for a photoshoot. I plan around busy areas rather than forcing the session through them, because a quieter nearby street gives us more freedom with composition, movement, and timing while keeping the character of the city. That is why the route I suggest may favor a quieter corner over the most obvious one, giving us space to work at your pace.

Proposals, Engagements, and Romantic City Breaks

A surprise proposal, an engagement before the wedding, an anniversary worth marking, a romantic city break, or simply a chapter you want to remember — each couple photoshoot begins with the reason you booked it. We shape the session around that experience, allowing Amsterdam to become part of the story without taking the attention away from the two of you.
