This bank holiday weekend I spent an amazing three days in Munster, Germany. Regular readers may remember the shoot I did of Christina and Felix in London a few months back and now it was time for their wedding in Germany. Flying in on the Friday we were invited to a pre-wedding party celebration at the side of the lake in Munster.
The following day was the big day and what a day it turned out to be. In the lead up to the Saturday, Munster had experienced an incredible amount of rain in the space of a few hours so there were a few nerves about what Saturday would hold. They needn't have worried as the sun shone when it was supposed to and when it did rain, it was only for a few minutes and when everyone was inside anyway. Christina and Felix were married in a traditional church service in Munster, then all of the guests were invited to Felix's parents home for the first of two receptions. A beautiful home filled with amazing artwork and with it's own lake gave so many photo opportunities. After the first reception there was a short break and then it was off to the castle in Nordkirchen for the late afternoon and evening. An amazing venue to photograph and perfect ending to a beautiful wedding. Finally on the Sunday we were treated to a brunch and barbecue before the short trip to the airport.
Shooting weddings overseas is always a great experience but you become reliant on the people who have invited you over and are looking after you. So we have to thank immensely all the guests and especially the family of both Christina and Felix for their generous and wonderful hospitality and making our trip such a memorable experience. I look forward to sharing the full wedding story and more pictures with you all shortly but for now I have picked out a couple of images of the day.
