WEDDING REPORTAGE BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS | MAIKE & MARK
When Maike & Mark asked me earlier this year to capture their wedding photography in Breda at the Bliss Hotel and Landgoed Wolfslaar (Wolfslaar Estate) , I was over the moon. A few months earlier they had booked me for their pre-wedding shoot, which we did in Gorinchem and that was already a lot of fun so I was looking forward to the big day!

And those locations! Both the Bliss Hotel and the Wolfslaar Estate are places we have been many times before, for example for Anke & Jan-Joost’s wedding, Anke had chosen the Bliss Hotel as location for her preps. And at Wolfslaar we have the pleasure of being part of the wedding team since a couple of years. Last year we did Anne & Robbert’s wedding and the year before that Angela & Patrick.

As we often (most times, actually) do, we started the day with capturing the preps of bride & groom at two different locations. Maike had an amazing wedding dress and a pair of festive Louboutins that she wore the whole day (!). What a trouper! Groom Mark was visibly impressed when he laid eyes on his beautiful bride, outside in front of the Bliss Hotel. After the first look we left to the Wolfslaar estate, where we had our portrait shoot with bride & groom, luckily without rain ;-).

The ceremony was led by Babs Dieke, whom we see quite often in this area, and as usual she did an amazing job. Lots of laughter and the occasional tear but hey, that’s part of it! An outdoor wedding reception followed the ceremony and to top it off all guests and couple feasted on an amazing dinner by the top chefs of Wolfslaar. In short, a wonderful day with a wonderful couple: dear Maike & Mark, we wish you the very best – it was a privilege to be a part of your day!
