None one (wo)man show, but a dynamic duo; that is Suegraphy. Often said, but very true: team work makes – really always – the dream work. This is also the case with Suus and Erwin. Yep, married myself. Correct! Together, yes. Suegraphy not only captures the most beautiful moments at your wedding from different angles, they are available in completely different places at the same time. In this way they complement each other perfectly and every detail is immortalized. Exactly, in addition to the bridal couple, there is plenty of time and space to put those little special moments and emotions of (grand)parents and other guests in the spotlight. After all, they are an important part of the story and these valuable moments make the memory complete. The strength of Suegraphy lies in commitment and excellent communication. And we haven't even talked about the result yet, because guys, that's a good thing. Cinematic but fun, full of emotion and always with a big WOW factor.
We have Sarah from that Twenty Twelve Photography. Love coffee, good food and the beach. Nature with its beautiful colors and perfect light always gives Sarah inspiration. But she also takes pictures indoors, and how! How about an editorial chic studio shoot, an Amsterdam one city wedding or a lavish Tuscan wedding? As soon as Sarah has a camera in her hand, she is completely in her element. Her mind never stops 'thinking in pictures'; always looking for the perfect picture. This is how every shoot (wedding, Branding of family) a celebration for this enthusiastic creative. Sarah senses exactly what is needed to put everyone at ease. Peace and quiet, but always with a joke and a big smile. With a wonderful sense of styling and a sharp eye for detail (which not everyone sees), she creates magazine-worthy work.

Mirna from Brabant captures love in all its forms, namely weddings, chubby bellies and babies. But also a nice family portrait or the love for your company. Her favorite quote: “see what I see”. You have been looking forward to it for so long, but when the moment arrives, that wedding passes you by far too quickly. By Mirna to the rescue, her mission is to show you as many spontaneous moments as possible after the big day and to let you relive them again and again. How would we describe her work? Contemporary-timeless (yes, we think that's a thing) and tasteful, you know: we're just fans. See for yourself!
