Leiden 21 juli – We’re driving towards a very Dutch landscape with farm in Warmond where groom Guido is getting ready with his almost family in law. I drive further to Leiden where bride Laura is quietly waiting till the hairdresser and make up artist is ready. Than I follow her upstairs where she and her (American) family is getting  dressing for this big day. The romantic dress is on and Laura is exactly ready when we see Guido arriving with a sailboat. (The mast is down because of the low bridges in Leiden).
Under the stairs he waits for his bride to come downstairs. It’s quiet when they see each other, and then off course follows a kiss and sweet words!

Of we go to the boat for the official moment. The group with family talks en enjoys the view during the trip. A bit earlier than expected we arrive a the city hall of Leiden. We’ll take some group photos in front of the old stairs. And when everybody arrived we walk upstairs. We see some nerves before the big moment begins. But during the ceremony everybody relaxes. The officer of the Civil Registry tells us about the history of the city hall and off course how the couple meet. The story goes from Leiden, to Bonaire, and America. The official moment is there and off course we hear clearly the word ‘Ja’ two times.
The cutest young man brings the rings to the couple and after a little bit of pressing (it’s pretty warm in the hall) the rings fit perfectly!

Then we step into the ship again and the beautiful weather is perfect for a trip on the water! We see the city of Leiden during a 2 hours trip. The sun is shining bright and the cool water is giving refreshments on the boat! We arrive at The Zeilpoort right on time, where we can enjoy a delightful lunch! De group is sitting on a long table under the umbrella’s, a breeze helps with the heat and everybody is talking and enjoying!

When everybody is ready we can take the couple with us for a cool photoshoot! The sip brings us to the other side of the water to a green park. And we walk towards an old mill factory for some industrial pictures. Walking through Leiden we take photos with bridges, water and buildings. And after the relaxed shoot, we go to the Zeilpoort again, for the cake off course.
And after cutting the cake and the toast with bubbles, we put down our cameras and chat with the group of lovely people.
Than we say goodbye to the group and the couple. What a lovely day this was! Hope Guido and Laura’s lives are filled with love and sunshine!
