Gallery garden De Booghhaard | Carel Sassen's exhibition

15 May 2011

Yesterday was a very special day, because the Exhibition 2011 of Mrs. Sylvia Boogh’s Beeldentuin De Booghgaard had it’s grand opening yesterday. Sylvia owns a beautiful 1.5 acre garden in the beach town of Callantsoog, where each year she organizes an exhibition with many

Another engagement session, one that we shot at Schiermonnikoog last year. We had a very nice day at the island and we took photos at lots of different locations on the island. We designed awesome wedding announcements for Erica and Bas, using these images – the above photo was the front of their wedding card. Bas really liked this little ‘clown-house’, so we just had to take a few photos there – and he was right about that!

Of course we had to walk up to the lighthouse for some images.

Erica an Bas took balloons with them in their wedding day’s theme colors. Cute!

We were very lucky to have the great weather that we did, it was very sunny with a beautiful blue sky. Nice!

We also used these images to design and create a reception album for Erica and Bas – a very cool alternative for the usual boring reception albums, with personal photos combined with space for their guests to write down their well wishes for the couple. These images are a few example-pages from the reception album (what you see is the lefthand side and the righthand side together, so there’s an almost invisible fold in the middle):

The reception album was obviously made to match the wedding album – in the wedding day’s theme colors!

During Charlotte and Hans’ wedding party (here you can find the blogpost of their wedding day) we brought our mobile mini-studio again. It’s been a hit with ‘our’ brides and grooms for years! The mini-studio is usually set up at night, at the party, so that everyone can have their photo taken with us. Charlotte and Hans didn’t want a traditional reception album with signatures, and instead we’ll be creating a beautiful and fun album from all the mini-studio images. It’ll be a great guest album.

At De Wolfsberg we were in a separate room with our min-studio. We are usually in the same room as the party, so that everyone can see where we are and what we’re doing. When I saw that we’d be in a different room, I wondered if people would come. I need not have worried about that! The mini-studio was busy all night and almost everyone got their photo taken. Some people came back numerous times for more images. Awesome!!

Even the band Boundless came by during their break.
