Maarten is born and bred in Roeselare, Belgium. "Once an altar boy, later a chain smoker, I eventually understood that photography was my true calling. Since that day I haven’t ceased to focus on all things spontaneous. I want to observe, rather than direct. My work in my hometown oozes with the spirit of the city, while avoiding the cliché. Always retaining my personal approach, I’m as passionate about my “wedding photojournalism” as my free work. You can always encounter me at the right moment at the right spot. Hence my crede: capturing coincidence is no coincidence."

After a quite unique career in architecture and later education, Marieke started to photograph and specialized in weddings. "Although I am a wedding photographer, I discovered my photography is not about the weddings. It’s the emotions, interactions and moments, that make it interesting to me. I love capturing those in an original and sometimes funny way. Besides this, I am a documentary family photographer and I teach other photographers in photojournalism with mentor sessions and workshops."
