Irena & Peter · Villa Kogge, Berlin

Irena and Peter chose a small civil wedding at Villa Kogge, the Standesamt in Charlottenburg. Family travelled in from as far as Prague to witness the day.

It was an intimate ceremony, just a few dozen guests, all of them close. Children carried the rings, the magnolia was in full spring blossom, and afterwards the whole party spilled into the garden. In a room that size there was no moving around unnoticed, so I picked one spot and stayed in it.
