Wedding of the Month :: April 2009

Sjoerd and I first met in Buenos Aires, Argentina whilst backpacking through South America, but the meeting was brief as he was homeward bound and I was travelling to Brazil. We next saw one another a year later on a weekend trip from London to Amsterdam - he was living in the south of Holland and offered to show me the capital - and have been together since.

Emma & Sjoerd had a lovely intimate lunchtime wedding with 25 people and you’d never guess that Emma is 3 months pregnant....How glamorous ! Sjoerd was very emotional during the ceremony which nearly made ME cry !  A cute couple of kids offered to serenade them as a gift during the location shoot – how special.
