axelle & maxime
hulste — sint-baafs-vijve — hoeve etienne
their wedding took place on 23 december, just before christmas — a date that naturally brings warmth, candlelight, and a hint of nostalgia. the morning started quietly in hulste, where axelle, her mother and laurence got ready, with lauren bracke bringing her signature calm and elegance to the make-up. soft music, winter light through the windows and the serenity of a december morning shaped the atmosphere. her fur wrap, pearl earrings and deep-red bouquet set the tone for their winter theme.

late morning came the moment suprême — an intimate first moment together that carried a calm, elegant energy. afterwards, we stepped outside for their couple shoot. fresh air, muted winter colours, and a sky that made every detail of their christmas-inspired palette stand out.
Warm lights, winter florals and guests gathered inside a rustic reception venue.
the reception unfolded with glühwein, champagne and delicate christmas accents woven through the setting. guests talked, laughed and eased into the winter atmosphere while axelle & maxime moved effortlessly between them. the kind of reception where everything — light, space, people — simply aligns.
a day that fits perfectly within the documentary, honest style of narrare. weddings — timeless moments, captured as they unfold.

in the early afternoon, their ceremonial cars left for sint-bavo church in sint-baafs-vijve. family and friends waited at the entrance, the church subtly decorated in greens and reds — a quiet nod to the season. their ceremony ran until just after three, filled with tradition, emotion and small glances that said more than words.
as the evening settled in, the atmosphere shifted naturally into celebration. tim grand brought the perfect energy — smooth transitions, warm beats and just the right rhythm to pull everyone onto the dance floor. laughter, movement and winter light blended into a lively, effortless vibe, the kind of atmosphere that keeps a night unfolding on its own.
after the church, everyone made their way to hoeve etienne, where the last daylight touched the courtyard. families lined up to welcome axelle & maxime — a beautifully coordinated moment that still felt natural and warm.
