Cindy and Blake: Elopement photography in Amsterdam

 
 

Cindy told me two things I like to hear from prospective customers. One was: "We're eloping to Amsterdam!" The other was: "We're down to get weird!"

For me, as a photographer, "getting weird" means going for a slightly more editorial look of the photos. I used light modifiers, double exposures, and a set of different prompts. The aim was to create a more varied collection of images than what you'd get from a typical, run of the mill photo-shoot in Amsterdam, while still capturing the beauty of the city.

Cindy booked my 2,5-hour package, which left us with enough time to hop on a bus and leave to the countryside. Zaanse Schans and its collection of traditional Dutch windmills were gorgeous in the golden evening light. The package also included a beautiful 29x29cm photo book.
