Lucia did an amazing job capturing our engagement pictures! She had several ideas for different fun and romantic poses.

She never rushed us, even when we had to take a break due to the rain. She was also very helpful in giving recommendations for a beautiful proposal location, as my fiancé and I were in Amsterdam for our first time.

I’d highly recommend her for any of your future photoshoots.-DylanView Photographer profile
My fiancé and I did an engagement shot in Amsterdam, and the photos are GORGEOUS. Lucia took the time to understand how we are as a couple in order to capture our personalities. Nearly the whole shoot was candids, which are my favorite, while she helped direct us into relaxed poses that looked natural and effortless. And the angles and framing of the photos are perfect.

During the shoot, she helped us relax and get into our silly selves. The hour flew by, and we got a ton of great photos that really looked like us. I would book Lucia again in a heartbeat, and I honestly wish she could come to the states to shoot our wedding, too!-LauraView Photographer profile
We really liked Vivian and her working ethics. She was very responsive, attentive and careful. The proposal was a surprise and she did a great job on preparing the spot. She was very friendly which helped us to act naturally.

As a result, we received amazing, emotional and natural shoots of the important moment.

Thank you,
George & Irena-GeorgeView Photographer profile
Vivian was great to work with! She provided direction but was flexible enough to try new ideas. She was so kind and caring and made the process so fun! ⁣

Communication leading up to the shoot was great as well. With Vivian, you’re in good hands.-KyleView Photographer profile
I got in touch with Lucia to photograph my completely surprise marriage proposal in Amsterdam. She was so helpful, assisting me with every detail to ensure everything went smoothly, and the result was spectacular.

Lucia managed to capture my fiancée's reaction in a formidable way, and the following session went very well too. Lucia made us feel completely at ease, and the outcome was magnificent.

We now have beautiful memories. Thank you, Lucia, for everything. You have also stayed in our hearts.-Ana & AntónioView Photographer profile

Veronika is awesome! She was very helpful in planning the surprise, including helping me choose a location. She was very communicative and friendly. The shoot went very well, and she gave us options on areas to go to, which was very helpful. The photos turned out amazing. I would highly recommend booking with Veronika!-BenView Photographer profile
Lucia is AMAZING! My fiance and I had our engagement session on a Wednesday and our edited proofs were sent back within a day!

She knew how excited we were to receive our photos, so she went above and beyond to make sure we received our digital proofs quickly. Lucia is spunky, with high energy, and a passion for what she does.

I couldn't be more grateful to her for capturing such important shots for my future husband and me.

I would highly recommend Lucia! She's a true professional with a contagious spirit that inspires her subjects to let loose, have fun, and enjoy the moment!

Thank you, Lucia!-Nina & JoséView Photographer profile
Vivian was a dream to work with! She had a great attitude and took beautiful photos for us. Highly recommend!-HollyView Photographer profile
Awesome photographer, an amazing experience

Vivian is a very talented and passionate photographer who made our photo session an absolute blast!

Posing is usually awkward for us, but Vivian could guide us into natural and comfortable poses that actually looked awesome on camera.

We were running late to the shooting, but Vivian managed to work it out efficiently, and make things easy for us! The photos came out stunning, and she managed to capture the vibes and great moments.-Grace & VictorView Photographer profile
