Genk wedding photographer - Spontaneous Bridal Shoot in the Former Mine Buildings of Thor Central in Genk and C-Mine
This couple only wanted wedding photos and not a documentation of their wedding ceremony. They were looking for a beautiful vintage location, and I suggested exploring Thor Central and C-Mine in Genk, Belgium.
The weather was splendid yesterday for the wedding photoshoot. We began indoors on the stairs at Thor Central, where the tall, large windows beautifully filtered sunlight, creating a romantic setting for capturing wedding photos.
The play of light on the walls turned this environment into a creative space for a wedding photographer.
From Thor Central (formerly Waterschei mine), we then drove to C-Mine, where I started capturing some wedding photos in the Labyrinth. Later, we took more photos indoors on the stairs.
As a keepsake from this wedding photoshoot, I will create a mini wedding album in a vintage style.
