Wedding Photographer Limburg: Wedding Photography at Vaeshartelt Castle – A Wedding on Easter Monday
Not many people choose to get married on Easter, and April is generally not a popular wedding month. I always find it special when couples decide on non-traditional wedding days. In this case, it was a Monday afternoon.
Preparing for the Wedding
After a fun night out and a relaxing morning working in the garden, I got ready for this wedding. With my hair curled and a new dress on, but still wearing comfortable sneakers, I always aim to look the part of a wedding guest.
The First Look in the Secret Garden
The groom had already been spotted, but the bride had not yet arrived. This was perfect, as their agreement was to have their first look in the secret garden of the castle. A charming garden tucked between walls, with a beautiful path lined by fruit trees and fairy lights – a truly magical location.
Though we hadn't met in person (we had connected through a video call), it immediately felt like we had known each other for a long time. The bride approached in a long golden dress with a wide pleated skirt, gracefully flowing in the wind. The groom stood facing my direction, eagerly awaiting his bride.
The Ceremony in the Mirror Hall
After their touching first look, we captured a few beautiful photos in the secret garden. Then, it was time to head to the stunning Mirror Hall where the ceremony was to be officiated by Antoinette Stille. By the time I entered, all the guests were already seated.
Cake, Toasts, and Group Photos
After a few minutes, the radiant couple entered together, and the ceremony began. Following their heartfelt "I do," everyone moved to the round hall below for the cake cutting, toasts, speeches, and then the group photos.
Wrapping Up the Day
I wrapped up the day with a few more wedding photos inside the castle and in the park. It was then time to say my goodbyes as the newlyweds sat down for their wedding dinner.
Getting married on such a unique day at a historic castle – what an unforgettable experience!
