Leiden remains one of my favorite cities to photograph weddings, and this November 2023 celebration was no exception.
The day begins with Charlotte and Timo getting ready separately, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Their sock choices alone prove that these two are truly meant for each other! After their first look, we head to the Hortus Botanicus for some beautiful wedding portraits, followed by photos near the Hooglandse Kerk, before making our way to Leiden City Hall for the ceremony.
After an intimate ceremony, Charlotte and Timo walk through a tunnel of colorful rose petals, making their way towards their wedding venue, Scheltema. Meanwhile, their guests board a boat that will take them to the same location. Once everyone has arrived, the newlyweds make a grand entrance on a city bike—an unforgettable moment that kicks off the evening’s festivities.
What follows is a warm and joyful reception, a delicious dinner, and an unforgettable wedding party at Scheltema in Leiden. After a beautiful song performance, my time with them comes to an end. I give Charlotte and Timo a heartfelt hug and my congratulations before leaving them to continue celebrating their love.
Charlotte and Timo, what an amazing day it was! Thank you for allowing me to capture these special moments for you!
