DESIGN NOTE:
Don't worry, this is a hidden canvas. You can delete it after you read this. FYI, this top section is going to look strange, but it functions beautifully in the live preview, so don't delete the second section that appears blank / to have a weird gap! It's so the text will load over it beautifully.
Since the text is white and hard to see, just briefly turn the text black to edit, then back to white, or you can make it black and change the top background colors instead! — Jen

YOU SHOULD KNOW
You deserve to *enjoy* your day — hire a planner!
(And so do your friends and family.) A wedding planner can elevate your vision to new heights, creating a wedding beyond your wildest dreams and allowing you to enjoy a completely stress-free experience. — ask for a list of my favorites!
When I will arrive to your wedding location
I always arrive at least a day for the first event I'm shooting to avoid any potential travel delays and have some time to scout the location.
Choose a beautiful getting ready location
When choosing where to get ready, select a space that reflects your personality and keep it tidy. Opt for locations with lots of natural light, clean, open spaces, and light colors as this is where I capture the majority of your details and initial portraits.
Consider a first look
A wonderful way to start into your day together is 'the first look'. You see each other for the first time before the ceremony. Having this first sight as a bride and groom alone by yourself, has something magical. And this allows me more time to create beautiful portraits.
Consider an engagement session
An engagement session gives you the opportunity for both of you to get comfortable in front of the camera and getting to know me and how I work. Most couples experienced the session to be more relaxed than expected.
Have an unplugged ceremony
It could be disturbing when guests hold their phones, ipads and camera into the picture. You may only see screens and no faces or emotions. I just love to capture the people that are close to you, smiling or maybe crying happy tears.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT WORKING WITH THIS EUROPEAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Q. Are you willing to travel?
As a European wedding photographer, most of my weddings take place in France, Italy and The Netherlands. But I am available to travel to all other European countries.
Q. How would you describe your style of photography?
It is a balance of an editorial, art-directing approach (think classic & elegant portraits along with stunning details you'd see in a magazine) combined with photojournalism (real moments captured that tell the story of your day and cannot be replicated).
Q. How do we secure my wedding date?
We first need to finalize your collection and coverage needs. Once done, I will prepare an electronic photography contract for your review. Please return the signed contract along with a 35% retainer within 5 business days to ensure your date remains available. The final balance will be due two weeks prior to your wedding date
Q. Can I customize my collection?
Yes. Since every wedding is unique, I am happy to tailor any collection to suit your celebration.
Q. What's the delivery time of our photos?
You'll receive a sneak peek via a private gallery within a week of the wedding and the full gallery delivered within 6-8 weeks.
Q. How many images will we get from our day?
I deliver an average of 80 images per hour of coverage, but it totally depends on how many details there are to capture, if you have a first look or not, how much time we have for your couple portraits, how many emotions there are to capture.
