The Van Dalen family photo shoot in Chania’s Venetian Harbor

families

A family of four, Richard, Gaby, Niels and Robin met up with me and my assistant Agie for a one-hour session in the Venetian Harbor of Chania, Crete here in Greece.

Coming from Holland they definitely enjoyed the nice sunny day in town.

And here are a few words from Gaby:

In English:

What place should be better for a family photoshoot than a place in the country that feels like a second home to us: Of course no other than a place in Greece! That was the thought I had before I searched for a photographer nearby Chania, to surprise my husband during our holiday in Crete. When I saw Andreas’ website I immediately contacted and I got a good en clear advise of the options within our possibilities and wishes. Yahoo, the day before leaving for Crete, while packaging our suitcases, we had a deal! After a week juicing up the Greece atmosphere, and all having a tiny tan on our faces, the day had come. At once it felt comfortable with Andreas and assistant Agie. With ease and humor, we went through it all, in the lovely old town of Chania. We all enjoyed it very much and we love the result. Wow, what a souvenir we now have!

Thanks a lot, Andreas, and Agie of course, for the beautiful photographs and good memories of the moment.
And in Dutch:
Welke plek zou beter zijn voor een familie fotoshoot dan een plek in het land dat voor ons als tweede thuis voelt: Natuurlijk geen andere dan een plek in Griekenland! Dat was mijn gedachte voordat ik op zoek ging naar een fotograaf in de omgeving van Chania, zodat ik mijn echtgenoot kon gaan verrassen tijdens onze vakantie in Kreta. Toen ik de website van Andreas zag, heb ik gelijk contact gezocht, ik kreeg een goed en duidelijk advies van de opties binnen onze mogelijkheden en wensen. Joehoe, op de dag voor vertrek, tijdens het inpakken van onze koffers, was er een deal! Na een week de Griekse sferen in ons op te hebben genomen, en met een lichte teint van de zon op onze wangen, was de dag aangebroken. Het voelde meteen comfortabel met Andreas en assistent Agie. Met gemak en humor ondergingen we het allemaal, in de lieflijke oude stad van Chania. We hebben er van genoten en het resultaat is prachtig. Wauw dat is nog eens een souvenir!
Erg bedankt Andreas, en natuurlijk ook Agie, voor de prachtige foto’s en goede herinneringen van dat moment.

This past Summer I photographed the wedding of my friends Christo and Eleni in Chania Crete Greece. On the same day they baptized their little boy Dimitri. The unfortunate part of the whole day was that Dimittri go bitten by a bug the night before and had his hansom face swollen throughout he day. So I decided one day to make it up to the champ. The family live in Athens so we never had a everyday chance to meet up and have me photograph Dimitri.   A few weeks ago I was on a business trip in Athens and finally had an opportunity keep my promise.   I wanted to photograph Dimitri with a new approach I am trying. ...
