When I arrive at Domaine d'Heerstaayen, Simone and Nick are already busy with the preparations. Simone is getting ready in the cottage where they stayed the night before, while Nick is still working on the decorations. Once their son arrives at the venue, it's also time for Nick to get ready for this special day.
After all the guests have arrived and are seated outside for the ceremony, there is a brief first look moment between Simone and her father. Right after, they proceed to the ceremony where Nick will see his bride in her dress for the first time. As usual, officiant Eva from "Omdatikvanjetrouw" creates a beautiful ceremony with her unique way of rhyming and storytelling, crafting a long poem that is personally tailored to this couple. After the vows, the kiss, and the signatures, it's official, and Simone and Nick are sent off with loud applause.
We quickly take a tour of the venue to capture some awesome wedding photos, and upon our return, everyone is ready to congratulate the newlyweds. A wonderfully relaxed reception follows, where even the chickens get to enjoy some wedding cake.
Eventually, it's time for dinner, and after the first course, I take Simone and Nick for a short while to shoot some portraits during the Golden Hour just before sunset.
Simone and Nick, what a beautiful day and how much we enjoyed it!! Thank you so much for letting me capture your story!
