Erika + Ben | Wedding Day

From the moment we've met Erika and Ben we knew that they were travelers. Both of them are explorers of the world and love to wander around different places,  face new adventures. It's in their spirit. But you see, we also know that traveling so much and being in so many places, makes it harder for anyone to call a certain place home. And in time, this need for home makes days slip by like clouds, nights to creep in slowly, walls to cave in, rivers to dry. We didn't want this for them. We don't want this for anyone we know. It's a dark feeling. But we rest assured. This is no longer the case for Erika and Ben. No matter what part of the world they end up exploring, they found their perfect home. In each other. [audio:http://photography.oapd.ro/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/home.mp3]

Anne+David | Wedding Day

În primăvară, eram pe punctul de a renunța la ceea ce urma să fie una din cea mai tare experiență în documentarea unei nunți. Totuși, la interminabilele insistențele ale lor am salvat data în calendar și am început să clădim prietenia. Acum, nu doar că am descoperit în Anne și David niște oameni extraordinari dar mi-au întrecut așteptările prin modul în care îți trăiesc viața atât de intens și totuși atât de simplu. Mai mult, experiența a devenit și mai palpitantă când Sergiu a ales să vină alături și să dea o mână de ajutor. Aș fi vrut să pot posta perspectiva de ansamblu - înainte și de după ziua nunții, dar mă rezum la atât fiincă exprimă nici mai mult nici mai puțin decât cine și ce sunt ei. OTI

Annelies+Marien Dutch Wedding

This is our second trip to the small city of Apledoorn in Holland and we already feel like home there. Every time we walk those lands, a strange feeling of peace, joy and steadiness of heart invades us. We know by now that there are no better words to describe this lovely little country than words that appeal to its vast teritory of woods, rivers, green lands, beautiful houses, old farms and amazing scenery. But it seems like we're not the only ones to feel this way.

MEMORIES OF HOLLAND

Thinking of Holland
I see broad rivers
slowly chuntering
through endless lowlands,
rows of implausibly
airy poplars
standing like tall plumes
against the horizon;
and sunk in the unbounded
vastness of space
homesteads and boweries
dotted across the land,
copses, villages,
couchant towers,
churches and elm-trees,
bound in one great unity.
There the sky hangs low,
and steadily the sun
is smothered in a greyly
iridescent smirr,
and in every province
the voice of water
with its lapping disasters
is feared and hearkened.

HENDRIK MARSMAN (dutch poet)
