JUNEBUG: Illustrate for us a couple who would be the ultimate dream to book.
Martijn: A dream couple is any couple that wants the world to see how beautiful being in love can be.
JUNEBUG: A lovely, recently-engaged couple needs to know how or why you are different from their other options – what sets you apart?
Martijn: I am quite a sensitive person, and my eyes are always drawn to little moments and details that someone else might not pay attention to. Because I am usually open about my emotions, I like people that dare to show their feelings and emotions, too. I want to create a trusting atmosphere in which couples can be loving, open, and relaxed. To translate love and passion into strong photographs is the ultimate goal. As in life, light exists because of the contrasting darkness. As a photographer, I try to keep this in mind and use contrast as a tool to put emphasis on the subject. Often this results in shots that are somewhat darker than the airy, light, pastel photos we now see frequently in the wedding industry. Although I love weddings that are nicely styled and decorated, meaningful moments are always the most important to me.
