My name is Vera and I am a photographer based in the Netherlands, specializing in couple photography, portraits and the occasional family shoots.
Cristina contacted me in September last year to arrange for a photo shoot as an engagement gift to her dear friends, Dan and Olivia (they were planning to visit Amsterdam in October that same year). She thought they would love a quintessential Amsterdam backdrop for their photos such as Jordaan and the Canal District and that’s exactly where we took ourselves on this photo walk.
Natasha and Duncan were visiting Amsterdam for a family reunion in September last year and decided to book an engagement photo shoot in this beautiful city. Because their visit to Amsterdam was so brief we didn’t have any flexibility with the day of the shoot and had to work with what we got. And what we got was drizzle throughout the shoot. Which wasn’t a problem for us at all – it only added an authentic Dutch spin on it (you can’t get any more Dutch than rain). Rain is always a possibility when you’re booking a shoot in the fall (which you should, because it’s beautiful). Just remember to bring a big umbrella with you.
2019 has been especially heavy on surprise proposals (not complaining). This here is the most recent one. Troy decided to propose to Becky, his girlfriend of four years, while on a short trip to Amsterdam from New York City. Can you tell that it came as a complete surprise to her?
If you’re planning to propose in Amsterdam (or anywhere else in the Netherlands), feel free to reach out to me and I will help you any way I can and be honoured to capture this beautiful moment for you to remember.
