Celine + Richard Get Married...

On July 24, we headed to Hillegom so I could take photos of Celine getting ready for her wedding, which had been postponed twice due to the pandemic. I took over 800 photos that day, but will spare you and only share a few.

Celine and Richard hadn’t planned on seeing each other before the ceremony, but I convinced them that they could still have some special moments together and that it would allow Jimmy plenty of unrushed time to take their wedding portraits. 

The venue was actually an apple orchard with lots of fun spots for photos. I especially loved this one! 

Jimmy had met most of Richard’s friends at the stag party, so they didn’t hesitate to clown around with each other. 

Celine’s niece and nephew got ready at the hotel with her, so were there early with us. 

When we realized that this golf cart would be visible in the photos, Richard and Jimmy moved it themselves after not being able to find an employee to help them. 

The one-hour service was held primarily in Dutch with summaries given in French for Celine’s family. Either way, I couldn’t understand much, so took lots more photos.

One day shy of his first birthday, little Dylan was helped down the aisle by two of his Dutch cousins. 

It was astonishing to learn that in order for their dear friend Mariska to conduct the service, under the watchful eyes of a government official in attendance, she had to complete a two-day course to allow her to perform just that single wedding.
