About 5 years ago I started going through a though time in my personal love life and this affected my love for shooting weddings.

How could my passion of shooting weddings get burnt out? I didn’t feel I could take on any more weddings because of the pain in my own heart going through the first years of divorce.

I was constantly questioning myself: Did I have the right energy and support to shoot two people choosing a life together while my own marriage fell apart?
Could I have captured the magic while suffering the intense heartbreak? Would I be able to be happy for the couple? Would I project my own feelings?

So I had to stop myself right there. Because I wouldn’t be my best self, I would be able to give everything that my couples deserve so much. I stand for a full service quality approach, for a close contact and I couldn’t give that at the time. The internal struggle was too heavy and I had to let it go for some time. I had to take time off of weddings and went in a different direction and searched to realign and refine what makes me happy and fulfilled in my work as a professional photographer, as a person in the flesh, as a mother,… I did much soul searching, dealing with a lot of pain along the way.

A while back I regained my belief in love and the commitment people choose to build a life together in marriage.

The first couple shoot I did a while ago, really opened up my heart when I got to witness the in depth love unveiling in front of my eyes and my camera. I felt that I could shoot weddings from this new place of healing. I felt intensely happy for the couples.

See the thing is… I’ve come to believe in marriage again.
In unmeasurable love.

And new experiences have thought me and brought me back to my soft side. I am actually excited to shoot weddings again.
I am the right photographer for it. It has been my passion from the start (back in 2011) and it is bursting again.

I am, like you and like any of us, on my way.

Clients may expect beautiful, real heartfelt coverages, with no holding back. A mix of documentary (candid) and more editorial style images, shot with my finger on the button and my heart on fire for their choice.❤️

Lawrence had everything planned out om Elise rond de tuin te leiden. "Een girls weekend in Antwerpen". Haar vriendin zat namelijk mee in het complot. Wat een A team!

Ze was er helemaal mee weg en terwijl zij nog onderweg was met haar vriendin waren wij ons aan het voorbereiden op haar komst. Achter welk hoekje ik stiekem paraat zou staan wachten met de camera, welke positie het best voelde voor Lawrence, wanneer champagne koud mocht gezet worden, ... tot in de kleinste details zette hij alles op alles om haar hart helemaal te doen bezwijken.

Ontroerend mooi, toch?

She had no clue! Ze kon haast niet stoppen met lachen toen ze hem daar zag staan. Elise was helemaal over the moon, in de zevende hemel met zijn prachtige aanzoek.

Blessed ben ik, want ik mocht deze bijzondere dag vastleggen en ging met een warm gevoel en SD kaartjes full of love and beauty naar huis.

Cheers! To love. To Lawrence & Elise!

Speciale dank aan Lawrence om mij aan boord te nemen in zijn meesterlijke, romantische plan! Graag wil ik ook iedereen bij Hotel August bedanken voor de begeleiding.

Do you want striking content? Come with me as we take a look into my process in creating content for my business clients.

From the first meeting with my client, I dive into the soul of the business. Listening carefully to the vision, style and voice, and also very important the problems it faces and its ambitions. I take in every detail and start thinking in visual branding and marketing solutions.

When the client gives me the green light for the ‘pencil’ plans and takes me on for the assignment, I start the process of creating and managing content through visual storytelling content. I offer different packages ranging from Photography, Copywriting, Content Creation to a full service assignement including Social Media management.

01. Through an in depth analysis of the current look and statistics of the Instagram account and Facebook Business Page I pin point and suggest where improvements can be made.

02. To the drawing table, brainstorming, imagining and building, designing a mock-up for the vision that’s to be created. In this phase I am cooking up ideas to elevate the feed in its appearance and relevance. This is the setting up and planning phase where I create a Content Calendar and start planning the location, details and logistics for the creation of the upcoming content.

03. Time to bring the planning to life in the creation phase, working on creating a variety of content types such as video Short Reels, Single Posts, Carrousel Posts, Stories, … on location and working with different tools and sources and the post processing.

04. The freshly designed content is added to the Calendar and then posted through to the brands’ audience via Social Media Channels.

05. How is the account’s visibility and engagement going? In this phase the outcome of the actions are looked into. At a regular base I look into the metrics and report an analysis of the statistics and insights of the Social Media accounts.

Do you want to elevate your content & create impact?

Reach out to me via email enquiry an let’s find the best solutions for you.

I currently take on limited new clients as this is a thoughtful, tailored service and extensive, responsible work.

BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER 👀

Something that has always been my fuel, is fashion. Would be lying if I told you that I have never fallen asleep with a magazine stuck to my face.

Would you believe me that on some days I change outfits 3 times? (Let’s blame the activities for it, haha)

On the daily I read about the latest fashion trends, learning about the most impactful designers, experimenting with looks and running scripts fashionated video scripts through my head even before creating them. Fashion runs through my veins, inheritad from my grandmothers, passed on to me through family and studies.

As a child I drew every dress and shoe I wished existed. I could stare at the fashion editorials in the big magazines for hours ohne end, recreating them in my mind, pulling inspiration from the themes, trying things. I loved to experiment with what I could find in my own wardrobe and borrowed the ‘fancy grown up looks’ from my mother.

I am a sucker for the cinematic classics and I often turn to the French and Italian icons for inspiration. Françoise Hardy, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Monica Belluci… to name just a few iconic, style defining women.

So even when I might be shooting an interior, an event, people, a music band, products, food… the work is always created from my undying love for fashion.

While shooting the masters’ expo of the royal Academy of Antwerp, I felt so thankful and in awe to meet the designers and to be able to see the artistry up close. The runway show will stay with me. I can still feel the beat and feel the energy in the room of the mass excitement as every masterpiece look was presented.

Ps: when lost, find me in my wardrobe midst a dino bed camp and a large variety of my kids’ toys

Thought I would share a bit of my vision with you. What I am currently excited about? Meryll Rogge taking the spotlight at Marni, well deserving.

Countdown to Paris Fashion Week too!
Undying love , xo Anaïs
