There’s something about photographing a destination wedding. As a Toronto wedding photographer, travelling across the globe to capture a wedding, is something special. A beautiful celebration took place at Gare du Neuss in Neuss, Germany. Marie and Stephen gathered their closest friends from around the world. Their wedding was filled with love, laughter, and heartfelt moments. Every detail reflected their personalities and international love story.

The day before the wedding, an engagement shoot was held in Köln, Germany. Iconic landmarks served as the perfect backdrop. The charming streets and historic architecture enhanced the romantic atmosphere.

Morning bride and groom prep photo sessions are not typical, in parts of Europe. The plan was to meet Stephen and his friends at his flat, and head to the venue from there. Upon arriving, the boys were running a bit behind, so I got my camera out and began capturing the moments as they happened. The entire group of his friends were outgoing, and made for some great candids.

Gare du Neuss provided a unique setting with its industrial charm. Soft lighting and simple floral arrangements transformed the space into a perfect space. Guests from different countries arrived, bringing warmth and energy to the celebration.

The ceremony took place in an intimate space at the venue. Vows were exchanged with emotion in their voices. Every moment was cherished by friends and family. The love between Marie and Stephen could be felt by everyone present.
