More than a photographer
I’m Marcel, so glad you’re here
You are looking for a photographer that is more than just that. Someone who can understand your funkiness, your creativity, your passion for each other and how to bring that out in photographs, whilst putting you at ease in front of the camera. I understand that planning a wedding can be challenging, you mostly get only one go at it or you have never done it before. You need someone that is going to get down to the ‘why’ you love each other, tell your story and be easy to work with. I will be here for the entirety of your planning journey, you will see clearly by the time you get your photo gallery why hundreds of other couples chose to invest in me over the last 16 years or so. My jams (but not limited to):
An unhealthy obsession for scotch (strictly neat, independently bottled, peated and cask strength….oooft)Doggo AND catto lover, or anything with fur and cute (left - me with BatDog Dory and photographing strays in Istanbul)My Dutch heritage, but I am spiritually Italian I think. Fiano and Ragu anyone?Of course travel, I pretty much design my holidays around the foodA movie nerd. I love the filmmaking process like direction of photography, lenses, story and acting. I could talk about that stuff all dayFavourite TV shows of all time: Mr Robot, Breaking Bad, Last Man on Earth, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Succession
Things I say way too much on a shoot:
“There it is, don’t move!”“Just keep being cute.”To the DJ or band at the supplier table: “are you going to eat that, if not pass it ‘ere?”

Travel & Service Areas
I am based in Melbourne, Australia, but I can service anywhere in world! There are no travel fees in greater Melbourne, but if the wedding is a couple of hours away, there is a likelihood accommodation and travel fees needs to be covered. Quoting on travel fees is always difficult as it is always changing. That’s why for all day coverage I will quote an all inclusive package for your simplicity. Interstate and international commissions are available for anywhere you can take a plane, train or automobile and if I am there already, no travel fees! I often try to get to Europe every other year during the Northern Hemisphere Summer. I base myself in the Netherlands or Italy in most cases, but can reach anywhere in Europe. It is common to colab with Aussie videographers overseas too, so I can connect with someone over there at the same time.
