Those three words aren’t summary. They’re a statement.
For me it was one of those days everything fell right in its place. Especially the light. Ask it to any wedding photographer you know, some days everything just works out. You walk in and the vibe is just right. It was a wedding in the middle of autumn, it was warm enough to still be comfortable outdoors but the light wasn’t to harsh anymore. Perfect, if you ask me. I really start to enjoy weddings outside of the summer season. Everything is more colourful or more dramatic, just a little bit off in the good kind of way. The sun is way more interesting in these months. There’s a later sunrise, the sun doesn’t get too high and a pretty early sunset. Throw in a small thunderstorm to add some drama and colour to the sky and it’s almost perfection to me. Once again I never wish for rain on a wedding day but it can be so stunning afterwards.
I don’t know why but this view screams “Provence” to me. Anyone who wants do a wedding there? ;)
However that particular 7th of October it didn’t rain. We got treated with a pleasant soft little sun and the estate of St-Hubert was the perfect background for this story. I decided to act like we were somewhere in the south of France. The fancy suits of Daan & Thomas instantly matched with that thought in my head. The preparation was in a nice classic suite followed by a short shoot with the two of them. Afterwards there was a stunning ceremony where the sun was kind of like a paid actor. It set perfectly behind the trees while the ceremony came to an end. To enjoy the last rays of sunshine even more there was a lakeside reception followed by a classique diner inside. Not to mention one of the best versions of a Dame Blanche I ever had. To end Daan & Thomas’s story there was quite the party with a sneaky candy buffet. I really tried to capture the whole setting with this one. A lot of details, location shots,… just the whole vibe. My couples often say they like details. Here’s a little treat.
Enjoy the vibe, drink a glass of champagne and have a little funny dance.
Or just be lazy on the couch, whatever suits you. Have a good rest of your day… ;)
