Their story

A whole weekend, not just one day

Some couples want more than a single wedding day. This couple wanted a weekend with the people they love, in one beautiful place, and Château Nimerice was perfect for it: a château with ivy-covered buildings, old willow trees and a formal garden, under an hour’s drive from Prague.

The weekend

One wedding, three days

Friday

A love session

An easy, unhurried portrait session for the two of them around the château. No schedule, no guests, just time to get used to the camera and enjoy the place before everyone arrived.

Saturday

The wedding day

Getting ready, a ceremony under the willows, portraits by the ivy walls, an afternoon in the garden, dinner in the beamed hall and a bohemian party late into the night.

Sunday

A slow breakfast

The morning after, with the couple and the people around them: a long, relaxed breakfast and all the stories from the night before.

Saturday · Chapter V

Under the willows

The ceremony in the garden, under the old willow trees and an arch of flowers.
