When was the last time you have seen an entire wedding party on the river? Me neither. As Anja & Andi told me about their plans for the wedding and how they had organised a punt boat tour while we took portraits, they realised how much they love the boat ride idea & decided to share that experience with their whole wedding party. Which is why, this is the first time ever I have seen a bride & groom on a tiny boat like this. And also why I asked Rieke to join the happiness from the riverbanks with a very long lens & left the SD cards in her dry hands. You know, just in case. Did I ever tell you that tiny boats which rock dangerously back and forth freak me out? No? With all of my gear strapped to my clinging arms come with that. As you have probably guessed by no Monday post about a me kissing the water with gear in hand, you have guessed right, all of me stayed dry. And all the other guests were perfectly fine to.
Anja & Andi were the most wonderful couple! Wait till you see their party location! It was decorated lovingly to every single page of every singe nook with caring details. They had so many great classics laid out that I really had to refrain from squealing about the whole place, while I took the detail pictures. I mean Austen, Bronte, Schiller, and lots of books I could not read since they were in Russian. 😉 A book lovers wedding <3
You guys, it honoured and humbled me to see you together!!! You are incredible caring, kind and grateful not only with each other but all the humans around you. Thank you for letting me see part of your story & your wonderful beginning as husband and wife. It was pure joy for us! Thank you again and again!!!
Love this peaceful capture!
A different kind of group picture thanks to Rieke 😉
One of the total peaks of this precious day was when our sailor broke out the guitar and serenaded the bridal boat as we floated back to the pier. And I almost started crying out of pure happiness.
Completely loved the details!!
Special Thanks goes to Rieke, for coming along & for taking all these great off-boat shots!
