Getting Ready at Oheka Castle: A Picture-Perfect Start

The day began with getting ready photos inside the opulent rooms of Oheka Castle, where the grand architecture and luxurious interiors set the tone for the rest of the day. Jasmine and her bridal party were in their suite, surrounded by their gowns, bouquets, and sparkling jewelry. As the lead photographer, Asya captured Jasmine’s finishing touches as she stepped into her wedding dress, and the scene looked like something straight out of a fashion magazine. The natural light filtering through the tall windows illuminated every detail, from Jasmine’s gown to her elegant updo, making the moment truly picture-perfect.

Jasmine’s first look with her dad was a heartfelt moment, filled with emotion. As he walked into the room to see his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time, the tears in his eyes said it all. These are the moments that make wedding photography so special—capturing the emotions and love between family members in such a genuine and beautiful way. The backdrop of Oheka Castle, with its grandiose interiors, elevated the elegance of these moments.

Groom Getting Ready: Stylish and Sophisticated

Meanwhile, our second photographer, Linera, was with Fab and his groomsmen as they prepared for the day. Fab’s room at Oheka Castle was filled with excitement as the men laughed, shared drinks, and adjusted their bow ties and boutonnieres. The editorial feel of the day carried over into these photos, with each shot carefully composed to highlight the groom’s sophisticated style and the camaraderie among his groomsmen.

The rich textures of Fab’s tuxedo against the luxurious backdrop of the castle created a stylish, almost cinematic effect. Whether it was close-up shots of him adjusting his cufflinks or candid moments with his groomsmen, the photos reflected the timeless elegance of a high-fashion editorial.

The First Look: Romance in the Castle’s Iconic Stairwell

One of the highlights of the day was the first look between Jasmine and Fab, which took place in the castle’s iconic stairwell, the same location Taylor Swift used in her music video! The anticipation was palpable as Jasmine walked towards Fab, and when they finally turned to see each other, it was a moment filled with pure joy and love. Their reactions were priceless, and the setting added to the magic of the moment. Oheka Castle’s grand entrance created the perfect backdrop for this emotional reveal, and the photos reflected the fairytale-like atmosphere of the day.

Following the first look, we moved to Oheka Castle’s library, an opulent space filled with rich wood tones and vintage books, for more portraits of the couple. The editorial vibe of the day was carried through in these shots, as Jasmine and Fab looked like they had stepped off the pages of a luxury bridal magazine. The library’s classic beauty and intimate setting provided a stunning contrast to the outdoor shots, allowing us to capture a variety of looks and moods throughout the day.

Bridal Party Photos: Elegant and Grand

With a bridal party of 21 people, the group photos were nothing short of epic. We started outside in the gardens, where the lush greenery and manicured hedges created a stunning backdrop for the formal portraits. Jasmine’s bridesmaids, dressed in elegant gowns, and Fab’s groomsmen, sharp in their tuxedos, surrounded the couple, adding to the grandeur of the moment. The group’s fashionable attire and the stunning setting made for editorial-worthy shots that truly captured the elegance of a castle wedding.

We then transitioned to the library for more bridal party photos, taking advantage of the sophisticated interiors. The formal setting added a touch of timeless class to the group shots, and the blend of outdoor and indoor portraits gave the couple a rich variety of photos to choose from. Capturing these moments with such a large bridal party is always a challenge, but the team’s professionalism and the perfect coordination made everything run smoothly.

 

Family Photos in the Garden: A Timeless Setting

Next, we moved to the back garden of Oheka Castle for immediate family photos. The lush gardens and elegant fountains provided a romantic backdrop for these important portraits, and the soft, natural light created a warm and inviting atmosphere. We took our time to capture the bride and groom with their parents, siblings, and extended family, ensuring that every important family moment was beautifully documented.

These family portraits were especially meaningful for Jasmine and Fab, who wanted to ensure that their loved ones were a big part of their day. The combination of the garden’s classic beauty and the family’s emotional connection made for some of the most heartfelt photos of the day.

The Ceremony: A Fairytale Moment

As the guests arrived and the sun began to set, the ceremony was held in one of Oheka Castle’s outdoor spaces, with the castle itself serving as the perfect backdrop. The romantic setting was enhanced by soft floral arrangements and elegant décor that complemented the natural beauty of the castle grounds.

The ceremony itself was filled with love, laughter, and emotional vows. With videographer Edison capturing the entire event on film, every moment was preserved—from the exchange of rings to the first kiss. Our photographers made sure to capture the wide-angle shots of the ceremony space, as well as the intimate moments between the couple as they stood under the floral arch. The combination of the castle’s grandeur and the couple’s palpable love for each other created a fairytale-like atmosphere that was perfect for wedding photography.

Cocktail Hour and Sunset Photos: Golden Hour Magic

Following the ceremony, the guests moved to the cocktail hour, where they mingled and enjoyed delicious appetizers while overlooking the castle grounds. During this time, we captured candid shots of the couple’s friends and family as they congratulated the newlyweds. We also took this opportunity to photograph the beautifully set tables, the elegant escort cards, and the stunning floral arrangements that adorned the reception space.

As the sun set over the castle, we took Jasmine and Fab outside for their sunset portraits near the wall overlooking the water. The golden hour light bathed the couple in a warm, romantic glow, and the photos we captured were nothing short of magical. Sunset photos are always a highlight of the day, and at Oheka Castle, the combination of the golden light, the stunning architecture, and the couple’s natural chemistry created breathtaking images.
