Wedding Photographer Kerkrade: Getting married in the Botanical Garden and having a photoshoot with the dog at the Abbey of Rolduc
Just before my vacation, I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful wedding. With a wedding ceremony in the greenhouse of the Botanical Garden in Kerkrade, officiated by Lucie, and musically accompanied by live music featuring a singer from the bride's own pop band. An emotional ceremony that, while very warm, was also very special. The bride and groom exchanged beautiful vows, speeches were made, and then it was time to attach a heart-shaped padlock to the gate as a keepsake.
As a precaution, we took some wedding photos in the garden, as the weather looked very threatening. Afterwards, it was time for the wedding cake (in the shape of a VW van) and the toast, and then we headed to the Abbey of Rolduc in Kerkrade, where we took photos in the gardens with the bride and groom's dog (an adorable Beagle). The cute blue VW van was also part of the shoot. We took wedding photos among the grapevines, among other locations. A lovely detail was that after the ceremony, the bride put on a stylish denim jacket with the inscription "Mrs. Engels".
After the photoshoot, I went home for a few hours to edit some photos for display during the evening reception. Then, at 8:30 p.m., I returned to the Staaterhoes in Kerkrade to capture the first dance and the moment when the bride would toss the bouquet. Afterwards, everyone hit the dance floor, and a lively party ensued.
