Intieme Burning Man festivalbruiloft in Amsterdam

Het Burning Man Festival is een festival dat jaarlijks gehouden wordt in de woestijn van Nevada. Eshter en Carsten hadden het idee om de extravagante stijl waar Burning Man om bekend staat te verwerken op hun festivalbruiloft. Met hulp van weddingplanner en stylist Myrthe Regelt Het hebben ze van hun bruiloft een unieke Burning Man Festivalbruiloft gemaakt. Wij waren onder de indruk van alle leuke elementen die op het echte festival ook te vinden zijn. In haar off shoulder trouwjurk straalde Esther de hele dag. Het was een hele gezellige bruiloft en mede door dit extreme thema had iedereen het naar hun zin. Voor iedereen was het een nieuwe ervaring en daarom een unieke beleving. Dit soort unieke ideeën kunnen wij echt waarderen, omdat we kunnen genieten van creativiteit. Omdat veel gasten uit het buitenland komen, schrijven we de rest in het Engels. Geniet van de foto’s onderin de post.

 

The story

1 month before their wedding we got an e-mail from Esther asking if we wanted to photograph their non-traditional Burning Man themed wedding in Amsterdam.We really like unique and out-of-the-box weddings so we were happy with this inquiry. It was a blast from start to finish loaded with unique experiences. Together with the very creative Myrthe from Myrthe Regelt Het they’ve created this really great concept. Big thanks to her and her team!

 

Burning Man wedding

So let’s talk about the Burning Man Wedding. Esther and Carsten had lots of guests coming over from abroad. When the guests arrived everybody was asked to think of a wish for the couple and hit a gong to bless them. Each guest was then given a corsage with a weed lollipop inside. The venue Blijburg aan Zee was styled beautifully by Myrthe with artwork everywhere. Metal art installations and lots of plants and decoration gave the venue a nice and cosy feel. Esther and Carsten exchanged bead necklages instead of rings because they wanted to incorporate elements from their ceremony they did last year in Hawaii. Guests were asked to write down their wish for the couple and everybody burned their paper in a metal griffin art installation.

The rest of the day was very relaxed with good food, music and speeches. There was a blank canvas where each person could paint a little part. The goal was to replicate a photo of the couple. It was funny to see how the painting changed over the evening. There was an impressive surprise art performance at the end of the diner to guide everybody inside to the dance floor. When the sun was set everybody gathered around a bonfire and sang along with music played on a ukelele.

We could go on for hours telling how awesome this wedding was but we’ll let the images below tell the rest. Everybody had such an amazing time and we even had the opportunity to experiment with some photo techniques we haven’t tried before. We hope you enjoy this one.

Cheers,
Steef & Lucy
