This blog is about wedding at the Castle de Haar. I recently had the immense pleasure of photographing one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever witnessed, set against the stunning backdrop of Castle de Haar in the Netherlands. The couple, Dora from Hungary and Aniello from Italy, brought an enchanting blend of cultures and traditions to their special day, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
Dora, with her meticulous eye for detail, took on the monumental task of arranging all the vendors by herself. From the flowers to the music, she ensured that everything was perfect, down to the smallest detail. The wedding was an intimate affair, attended only by close family and friends, which added to the warmth and charm of the occasion.
Church Ceremony
The day began with a breathtaking ceremony at St. Augustine’s Church in Utrecht. The church, with its beautiful architecture and serene ambiance, was the perfect setting for their vows. The flower girl and flower boy were fantastic, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the ceremony. The Catholic service was adorned with all the traditional elements, creating a deeply meaningful and spiritual experience.
As a photographer, I feel incredibly lucky to photograph the wedding at the Castle de Haar and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of this beautiful day. Meeting such a lovely couple and their wonderful guests was a delight, and being able to capture their wedding day was an honor. The joy and love that filled the air made my job not only easy but also incredibly enjoyable.
Intimate photoshoot
After the ceremony, we moved to the grounds of Castle de Haar for an intimate photoshoot. The castle, with its picturesque surroundings, provided a magical setting for capturing the newlyweds’ love and happiness. Every shot seemed to tell its own story, reflecting the deep bond between Dora and Aniello.
Delicious four-course dinner
Later in the evening, we gathered for a delicious four-course dinner. The food was exceptional, and I was fortunate enough to taste the delightful dishes myself. Each course was a culinary masterpiece, adding to the day’s enchantment.
Celebration
The evening culminated in a lively party, starting with a heartfelt toast, the cutting of the cake, and of course, the couple’s first dance. The joy and celebration were contagious, with everyone joining in the festivities.
Thankful
“Dear Dora and Aniello, thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding photographer and for trusting me to capture your beautiful day. Your wedding was truly a fairytale come to life, and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Please enjoy this little sneak preview from your wedding day!”
