Getuige zijn van een geweldige romance: dat is hoe het voelde om Atva & Samir te fotograferen. Een liefde die zó sterk is dat het alles overwint. Een liefde die niet zonder verschillen is, maar er juist zoveel sterker van wordt. Een liefde dat iedereen om zich heen raakt en inspireert. Een liefde waar je over leest in boeken, of die je ziet in films. Atva & Samir hebben het ja-woord tegen elkaar en voor hun geliefde familie en vrienden uitgesproken. ‘Ja’ tegen elkaar en tegen alle nieuwe avonturen die ze samen nog gaan beleven. Dit deden ze op een geweldige plaats: Kasbah Bab Ourika in Marokko. Stel je voor dat je maar 30 minuten van de magische, maar drukke stad Marrakech vandaan rijdt en aankomt op zo’n mooie, rustgevende plek als dit, omgeven door het Atlasgebergte. Er vliegen vlinders rond in mijn hart als ik hier weer aan terug denk. Voeg hier nog wat geweldige(!) leveranciers, de warmte van de zon in november en de beste Marrokaanse tajines aan toe – klinkt als een droom toch? Zo voelde het ook! Bekijk deze geweldige trouwfilm, gemaakt door the Dreamers, ook zeker!

Samir:

“De prachtige foto’s van ons eigen verhaal op deze manier zien: ik vind het geweldig en ik kan niet wachten tot we onze kinderen en kleinkinderen ooit over deze dag mogen vertellen.”

Atva:

“Samir, bedankt dat je de man van mijn leven bent en me de dag van mijn dromen gaf in het land waar mijn hart ligt. Ik hou van jou, van ons verhaal en onze reis en ik zal altijd mijn best blijven doen om door te gaan.”

"I love this print so much!  Had the absolute hardest time picking art for my apartment and I really treasure each piece I decided to buy. Thank you!"

"Thanks so much for the prints Raisa! We hung them up in the breakfast room, hallways and rooms. Also: a few of our guests already bought some of your art work!"

About Raisa

On my way to become a lawyer, I found photography. Or maybe photography found me. Either way it was love at first sight. Nowadays, I count myself super lucky to travel the world for my job. I love surfing, hiking, yoga, hanging out with the people I love.

With my travel photography, I aim to reveal the remarkable beauty of our planet and inspire a sense of adventure in all who encounter it.⁠
