Hey, leuk dat je me gevonden hebt!

Ik ben Jaap (or Jape for international purposes), een trouwfotograaf met een missie om zoveel mogelijk emotie en geluk vast te leggen op jullie speciale dag.
Op jullie bruiloft zullen een hoop familie en vrienden samenkomen om jullie verbintenis te vieren, mooi gekleed en waarschijnlijk op een indrukwekkende locatie. Ik probeer dit in artistieke beelden te vatten, waarbij ik constant balanceer tussen documentary en cinematic photography. Dit houdt in dat ik graag alle oprechte liefde en emotie vastleg, liefst zo filmisch mogelijk.
Het is belangrijk dat je een klik hebt met je trouwfotograaf, gezien je diegene vaak de hele dag om je heen hebt lopen.
Ik hoop dat je in mijn portfolio kunt zien dat de mensen zich op hun gemak voelen, rustig en gelukkig. Wil je meer weten over mij als persoon? Kijk gerust even op de about me, of stuur een berichtje om eens kennis te maken! :-)
Jullie plezier en peace of mind heeft tijdens jullie bruiloft (en in de voorbereiding) mijn hoogste prioriteit. Daarom vind ik het belangrijk om vooraf in contact te komen.
Dit kan "in het echt", maar kan ook via videobellen. Waarschijnlijk hebben jullie een hoop vragen en zorgpuntjes, en ik neem graag de tijd om die allemaal te beantwoorden of gerust te stellen. Ik wil graag dat jullie je op je gemak voelen bij je fotograaf en zonder zorgen aan de dag beginnen. :-)
PS: Feel free to talk to me in either Dutch or English!
(Or slow German or French, or very slow Spanish)

WHAT DO WE GET?
• A "practice run" couple shoot of you two. Because many of my clients have never done a professional shoot before, this prevents you from feeling like a deer in headlights on your wedding day.

My wedding was just 5 minutes ago but I'M ALREADY SO EXTREMELY CURIOUS ABOUT THE PHOTOS. How long will you keep me in agony?
• Within 3 weeks you will receive a gallery preview.
• I aim to deliver the full online gallery within 8 weeks. Sometimes I deliver a bit faster or slower, this depends on my schedule.
• In the case of a high-quality album: I aim to propose an album design within 4 weeks after receiving your selection. The complete duration depends on my schedule, the number of photos/pages you'd like, and the amount of feedback you can think of :-)
* The delivery times above are only indications. I prioritize quality, so in more hectic times (like when I'm abroad) they can take a bit longer.
