Sophie & Stephan's wedding in Wiesbaden, Germany

Ok it's been a while since I updated with a wedding story and there is quite a backlog so here goes. Sophie and Stephan were married in the small town of Wiesbaden, just outside of Frankfurt. This is one of the only towns not affected by bombing in the war so still has the original architecture which is simply beautiful. After an evening welcome party the night before the wedding, Sophie got ready at a local salon and then made the journey to the pretty little church in Kiedrich.

It's always unusual shooting a wedding ceremony in a foreign language but as a photographer it is always the special visual moments you are looking for and this wedding was full of them so the language difference was never an issue - besides the fact everyone could speak English (putting my linguistic skills to shame). Then it was on to the reception which was held in the Kurhaus which was just lovely. I should add that the weather on this wedding day was just wall to wall sunshine.

After some food and some time for pictures everyone retired to their homes or hotels for a few hours to recover and prepare themselves for the evening festivities which ran very very late into the night.
