Susan & Frank Married :: Medicine Hat Wedding Photographer ::

Susan and Frank met on New Years about 4 years ago. What a wonderful way to start off a year, and May 8th was a terrific day to start off married life! We did encounter quite a bit of wind while trying to take portraits...the wind won the battle. Apparently it's windy in The Hague... who knew ;) Perhaps the windmills in the ocean should have tipped me off.

We had a spectacular day. Lots of fun and laughs and entertainment!

Susan and Frank both got ready at their house. Susan set up in the Attic and Frank downstairs. They do things differently in Holland, the bride and groom head to town hall together to be married, oh and you HAVE to get married in town hall. You can always have a church wedding, but the authentic signing and legal business all has to go down at Town Hall.

Susan and Frank were married at the Voorburg Town hall.

But first... I am getting ahead of myself here.

Here are some details.





Susan's Mom, Els made the bouquet, I think she did a fabulous job.


Oh, I should mention, this is a long post. FYI.



Susan had the best help getting ready and these girls were so fun to hang out with all day.



Susan and Frank saw each other before the big event, so we captured a bit of a first look.




Then, at the town hall, all the guests lined up and when the wedding party arrived they had the great entrance! I loved it.


The town hall was fabulous with all the brick. Susan's Dad, Gert walked her to the main hall.


I particularly love the expression of the flower-girl in this image!



The big wave from the balcony. This was a lucky shot, I am crazy for those reflections.


The getaway car was a Jaguar... can it get any better!


As soon as we left the sunny Town Hall the wind picked up and the clouds blew in and it was nasty. 'Like' Nasty. Yes, I said 'like'.

The Bride.


The Groom.


The clouds broke for a little while.





The party was wild and out of control. Susan and Frank arranged for salt herring to be brought out for the foreign guests and it was set up to be eaten in this fashion. There were lots of strange faces, but it sure was delicious.


And then they danced.


I have a bazillion images from the wedding. It was hard to chose which to post.

I learnt a lot about Dutch weddings and traditions and was so happy and honored to be a part of Susan and Franks Day!
