The Vermeulens are best and sweetest in the business! From the moment I came across their Instagram page I just had a good feeling. Chloé and Emile are super kind, understanding and fun to be around. We first did our engagement shoot with them which was incredible, they were willing to walk crazy distances and helped us so much along the way as it is was both of our first times having professional photographs. The photos came out better than I could have imagined and just amped me up for our wedding day.

On our wedding, they were both very calm and just so comfortable to be around. We’ve only had a sneak peak at the photos and they are out of this world! And the trailer, oh my word, we have watched it about 100 times and it’s the most beautiful thing ever. I could never have imagined that a 1 minute long video could capture the day so perfectly and invoke so much emotion. Chloé and Emile, we love you guys and can’t wait for the next time we see you!

This past weekend, Chloe photographed me and my fiancée engagement photoshoot, and they came out absolutely amazing! Not only is the level of professionalism intact, she also made us feel extremely comfortable and really let us have the most fun during the photoshoot. We were so relaxed, making it easy to capture genuine and natural moments. We also got a sneak peek of the photos within 2 days of the shoot.. and we love each and every one of them 😍🫶🏼! The final product of our photos were captured with so much emotion and the most high end quality!

We cannot wait to see the creative space the Vermulens come up with on our wedding day!
