Wedding photographer in Maastricht at the top wedding venue Castle de Hoogenweerth
Dream wedding in Limburg: Castle de Hoogenweerth as the wedding venue
For a stunning wedding in the Maastricht area, Castle de Hoogenweerth is the perfect place. This luxurious wedding venue along the Maas River combines an idyllic estate with an elegant atmosphere. As a wedding photographer, I capture all the special moments—from the first look to the romantic photoshoot by the pool.
Personal connection with the bride
I know the bride from back when our horses were kept in the same stable. She knew that I'm a lively person and that with me, you could literally steal horses—but of course, not in the literal sense! I photograph the way I live, and that spontaneity was exactly what she and her fiancé were looking for in a wedding photographer. The plan was for a sunny summer wedding at the luxurious Castle de Hoogenweerth. I was booked for the photo reportage and the design of the wedding album.
Getting ready in the luxurious bridal suite
I arrived just before noon at the grand bridal suite of the castle. The ladies had settled into the Bride Suite, a room full of bags, makeup, straighteners, champagne, giggles, primping, and a touch of nervousness. While the bridesmaids helped fasten the final buttons of the wedding dress, the bride’s mom adjusted the lace cape and helped her daughter tie the pointed Prada shoes. I quickly moved through the bathroom to the Groom Suite, where I found the groom and his groomsmen in their underwear. They were getting ready in a relaxed and casual way. While his friends laughed, the master of ceremonies helped the groom with his bow tie.
A special moment in the flower garden
In the beautiful flower garden, the groom waited for his bride. First looks speak volumes, and the groom was speechless when he saw his bride for the first time in her wedding dress. As she read her vows, the always-smiling bride couldn’t hold back her tears. I felt so grateful to capture this emotional and personal moment for them. Meanwhile, the guests had taken their seats on the white folding chairs in front of the castle. I looked at the bridesmaids, all perfectly coordinated in the same dresses. Lovely! For a moment, I thought I was photographing an American wedding.
A personal wedding ceremony
For this trendy couple, it wasn’t a traditional ceremony but a personal one led by a close friend. After exchanging rings, the couple headed for cake and a toast at the standing tables next to the Maas River. On this sunlit day, the setting looked like something straight out of the French Riviera.
Romantic photoshoot by the pool
I took the bridal couple to the hotel’s pool for a just-the-two-of-us photoshoot. Playfully, they dipped their feet in the cool water, creating a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. After a few more shots from the festive meal, my day as a wedding photographer was already coming to an end.
