In the middle of these uncertain times, Leah and Polo said yes to each other on September 18, 2020. They legally got married in Amsterdam, while they are waiting for their big celebration in St Martin in 2022. Together with their two witnesses and closest friends, they celebrated their legal day, with a boat tour through the canals of Amsterdam, and a dinner at Restaurant de Kas, a former greenhouse dating from 1926. The restaurant is located in the beautiful Park Frankendael on the outskirts of Amsterdam and has its own greenhouse and garden. Leah asked me to do a wedding shoot here before dinner to celebrate and document this special day.

We met each other around sunset on a beautiful summer day. The surroundings of Restaurant de Kas and Park Frankendael were perfect for taking pictures and was extra meaningful for Leah and Polo. There was so much love between these two, I didn’t have to say much to pose them. They were so positive and gave me all their trust, such kind people. How lucky I am with clients like this. It was a beautiful evening and I think the pictures say it all.

Kind words from Leah & Polo:
“I am so glad we got Michelle to photograph our wedding day. We had such a wonderful time with our 5 guests and you can feel that vibe through her photos. Her eye, professionalism, ability to pose us, the colors – these photos are magical! I have a huge grin every time I look at them cause they take me right back to the day when I got to marry the love of my life. With all that is happening in 2020 these photos capture the bright light between all the uncertainty with the pandemic. ? On top of just a great final product, Michelle was super responsive, delivered our preview 24 hours after the event, and the final photos within 2 weeks. Amazing turn around time. On top of that, every one of the photos that were delivered is a true gem. It was so hard to chose which ones would go in the wedding album because every photo she took deserved to be on the cover. We will definitely work with Michelle again in a future session!”
