Given the year it’s been, we were super lucky to be able to arrange this session. But a brief window opened up in early August where I was able to pop over before new restrictions came into place in the Netherlands. It’s worth mentioning that an engagement session in Amsterdam will be dependent on any existing travel restrictions. But I’m always keeping a close eye on them!

I met Cherie and Matt at a pub on the evening I arrived there, where we supped on a few gluten-free lagers. Yes, I am gluten-free, and so is Matt, so it was lovely to be able to do that! Being able to sit and have a little chat over a few drinks is all part and parcel of an engagement session. I use these shoots to get to know you better as a couple. That’s because building that relationship with you makes photographing your wedding much easier. It also helps you to feel more relaxed around me and my camera, too! After chatting, we headed out onto the local streets. The evening light was perfect. We spent about an hour walking around, talking and getting some fun photos of them together. And I’m sure they will be a beautiful reminder for them of their time living in Amsterdam in years to come. 

Our time together may have been short, but I’m sure you’ll agree the photographs capture them and their relationship perfectly. It was so great to meet you both Cherie and Matt. Thanks for allowing me to hop on over to Amsterdam to spend a bit of time with you both!
