marlene & jonathan
| a laid-back Civil Wedding in Weinheim, Germany
Marlene and Jonathan had decided to start the day with their couple photos, taking time just for themselves before the official part. We met in the peaceful Schlosspark. The two were visibly nervous, full of anticipation — but also clearly happy to have this moment to slow down and breathe together. Between little laughs and reassuring glances, the tension slowly melted away, and we captured some beautiful photos.
When we arrived at the registry office, family and friends were already gathered and heading upstairs into the ceremony room. Marlene and Jonathan entered together — hand in hand — and saw all their guests for the first time. It was such a beautiful, personal ceremony, filled with warm words, heartfelt laughter, and that special kind of joy that only comes from being surrounded by people who truly know and love you.
And then: the big entrance! As Janine and Elija arrived at the venue, they were welcomed with cheers, applause, and sparkling fountains. The atmosphere was electric – people were dancing, laughing, celebrating. After a short drinks reception, Janine’s father gave a heartfelt speech about the couple and their growing family with their little daughter. Dinner followed – a beautifully styled Mediterranean buffet, full of flavor and care.
Later in the evening, Janine and Elija opened the dance floor with their first dance – followed by an emotional father-daughter dance that moved many to tears. Then came the cake, another highlight of the evening. The party carried on late into the night – the dance floor never emptied, and the mood stayed joyful and full of life.
