A marriage proposal amongst the colourful tulip fields, followed by a pre-wedding photoshoot at sunrise in the heart of Amsterdam. For Sharelly and Guilherme, their visit to the Netherlands was one they’ll never forget.
Two days, two completely different locations and a very special love story. From the vast fields of flowers to the historic architecture of Amsterdam’s city centre.
A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL AMONGST THE DUTCH TULIPS
Every spring, parts of the Netherlands are transformed into a colourful landscape full of blooming tulips. It’s a beautiful setting for a marriage proposal, especially if you’re visiting Amsterdam and looking for something special just outside the city.
For Sharelly and Guilherme, this became the setting for their engagement. The proposal took place amongst the flowers, followed by all the joy and emotion of that special moment.
And fortunately, it didn’t stop at just that one day.
FROM THE TULIP FIELDS TO AMSTERDAM
The next morning, Sharelly and Guilherme left the colourful tulip fields behind and headed for the centre of Amsterdam.
We arranged to meet at sunrise on Dam Square. A place that’s bustling with life during the day, but has a completely different atmosphere in the early morning.
With the soft morning light, the historic buildings and a virtually empty square, a series of photographs with a more modern, editorial feel took shape.
No complicated poses, but above all plenty of movement, interaction and space to enjoy their first moments as an engaged couple together.
WHEN DO THE TULIPS BLOOM NEAR AMSTERDAM?
Would you like to plan a marriage proposal or a photoshoot amongst the tulip fields during your visit to Amsterdam? If so, timing is important.
Tulips usually bloom from mid-April to early May, with the fields often at their most beautiful from mid- to late April. The exact flowering period varies from year to year and depends on the weather and temperature.
Also, some tulip fields are harvested earlier than others. That’s why it’s a good idea to agree on the location and date well in advance. This will increase the chances of the flowers being at their best during your shoot.
TWO DAYS, ONE EXTRAORDINARY STORY
For Sharelly and Guilherme, it turned out to be a special combination. First, their marriage proposal amongst the tulip fields, and the following morning, strolling through Amsterdam together, still on cloud nine from the day before.
After seeing the first images, Sharelly sent me an enthusiastic message:
“We’ve just seen the photos!!!! SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!”
Two venues, two different atmospheres and a photo series that will always remind them of their special days in the Netherlands.
“We are still floating. Monday was magical and just extraordinary. I will never forget it! And the pictures are just breathtaking. Thank you SO much!”
