Wedding photographer Maastricht: spontaneous photography at Kasteel de Hoogenweerth
Capturing a memorable wedding in Maastricht
As a wedding photographer in Maastricht, I’m fortunate to document celebrations at breathtaking venues like Kasteel de Hoogenweerth. This particular wedding was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Despite the less-than-sunny weather, the indoor setup in the castle’s elegant banquet hall created the perfect atmosphere for the ceremony.
Bride and groom preparations
The day began with capturing the bride’s preparations. She chose to do her own makeup, an intimate moment that I was able to photograph quietly. From there, I headed to the groom, who was getting ready alongside the bride’s sons in a nearby hotel room. Initially, the boys were shy about being photographed while dressing, but I reassured them that buttoning shirts and tying bow ties make for timeless and heartfelt memories. The groom was dressed quickly, ready for the big moment.
The wedding ceremony in Kasteel de Hoogenweerth
The ceremony was a true highlight of the day. As the chamber orchestra filled the air with beautiful violin music, the bride descended the grand staircase on her father’s arm, walking toward her groom. The master of ceremonies, Taco, led a warm and entertaining ceremony. The kiss was celebrated with the joyful sound of bells, and I captured candid moments of the smiling guests and emotional couple.
Wedding cake and toasts
After the ceremony, guests gathered around a table filled with delicious wedding cakes. The bride and groom cut the cake, and everyone raised their glasses for heartfelt toasts. The relaxed and joyful atmosphere made for wonderful candid shots of laughter and connection.
Romantic photoshoot among the vines
For the couple’s photoshoot, we ventured to the lush vineyards near the Sofa Restaurant, located close to the castle. The golden vines provided a stunning, romantic backdrop for their portraits. To add a unique touch, we also included some fun shots with a vintage bicycle borrowed from a staff member, giving the session an authentic and playful vibe.
Lively evening celebrations
The evening came alive with the first dance, expertly captured in the warm glow of the banquet hall. DJ Marvin kept the energy high, ensuring that the dance floor stayed full. Guests danced with enthusiasm, making it a lively and unforgettable night.
