Spring civil wedding · May 3, 2024
A first look in the park, portraits by the lake, a small ceremony with close family and cherry trees in full bloom.
Anna and Alex were married on May 3, 2024, in a small civil ceremony with close family. Spring had just arrived, and the day moved between a quiet park, the lakeshore and a row of cherry trees in full bloom.
The day started with a first look. Alex waited on a park path while Anna walked up behind him and covered his eyes. After the laughs and the first hugs, we walked down to the lake for portraits in a pavilion, beside a red-topped lighthouse and on the docks by the marina.
The ceremony itself was short and personal, in a wood-panelled chamber with family watching from a few steps away. Rings, signatures and a first kiss, then family photos in front of a wall of framed portraits.
To finish, we found the cherry trees in bloom for a few last portraits. If you are planning a civil ceremony or a small wedding, we would love to hear about it.
