Theresa and Klaus have officially convinced us that cozy, intimate weddings are bar none the best. For not only was their relaxed, emotional and incredibly beautiful affair every photographers dream (just ask Ashley Ludaescher!), but Theresa also wore an altered version of her mother’s wedding dress. To say that it was perfection would be putting it lightly, see for yourself in The Vault!

From Ashley LudaescherKlaus and Theresa’s wedding was one that beautifully represented everything I love about weddings and why I feel so blessed to be a wedding photographer. Their intimate wedding was relaxed, emotional and incredibly beautiful. It was a photographer’s dream at two incredibly stunning venues in Potsdam, outside of Berlin, Germany. Yet even with all the stunning details, the wedding was truly about Theresa and Klaus and their love and commitment. I was moved to tears documenting the tenderness between them and their intense love for one another.

Theresa had her mother’s wedding dress altered for her civil wedding ceremony and I loved the effortless and chic look combined with her crown braid. Their ceremony location, Belvedere on the Pfingstberg, was built in 1863 by King Frederick William IV and offers exquisite views of Potsdam and the surrounding forest and lakes. After the intimate civil ceremony, guests were served champagne and cake atop a boat which toured the nearby Wannsee and the connecting lakes. It was the perfect way to escape the heat on what was one of the hottest days of the summer. Afterwards dinner was served as the sun set in the lakeside garden of Kleines Schloss Babelsberg. It was such a beautiful day and they were the sweetest couple to work with.
