My best friends wedding: Part II

We went to Alkmaar to take pictures. Frank is a policeman (on a motor). His colleage-policemen escorted us to Alkmaar. Which was very cool!

My best friends wedding: part I

As you might know, it was 'My best friends wedding' on the 20th of april 2012.

I made their invitations <see here> and they also asked if I wanted to make the weddingpictures. 'No!' was my first response, 'You should hire a professional'. But, to make a long story short, I finally said yes.

I was very nervous, so I thought: The only thing I can influence is PREPARATIONS. So I took a course how to use an extern flashlight. (I've already done a few other courses in the past)

Made a list of all the moments that would be important on their weddingday and looked at a lot of photo's on the internet. And of course made a lot of pictures. I also went to the church they were getting married, to see the light.

The week in advance, I had a horrible stomach ache, couldn't sleep, couldn't think of anything but 'The Day'. There was some serious nerve-racking going on.




Then the day was there! And.... it went well. The weather was very grey, that was a pity. And at the last moment there was a change in location. I also went location-hunting in advance, but we never went there :(

But... I like the result. And more important: the weddingcouple loved the photo's!

So, after some doubt (I wasn't sure if I would show these on my blog) here is part I of my best friends wedding:

PS There will be more parts. This was the first part of the day.

To think about

On this blogpost I want to give you something to think about. I saw this phrase once on pinterest and it hit me. This is exactly how I think about life. So I made a design for it.

A few of my thoughts:

I think everybody knows the phrase: "The grass is always greener on the other side". I think many people look too much at what other people have and what they don't have. Try to look at the things you DO have, is my motto :-) It's an endless story if you always look at others.

And second: 'If you put energy to something it will come back to you.' A lesson my father told me a lot! My father is the most optimistic person I know. And he's right about this.


And third: it's funny!
