A New York Wedding in a Swedish Castle: Tamara & Martin at Rockelstad Castle

Bröllopsfilm

14 sep.

Tamara is American and Martin is Swedish. They were living in New York when they chose to marry at Rockelstad Castle in Södermanland, and they invited guests from all over the world. Two families from two countries came together in Sweden, but not everyone could make the trip. That is what makes hiring a wedding videographer such a good idea: the people who couldn’t be there can still be part of the day. This is their wedding video.

A Grand Ceremony at Floda Church

The ceremony took place in Floda Church, a grand setting in the Sörmland countryside. Few moments are as good to film as the one where Tamara is led down the aisle by her father, with Martin waiting at the altar to take her hand. Two families who had travelled so far to be there filled the church together.

The couple also chose to include the full ceremony and speeches in their package, which I’m always glad when couples do. Those are the words and moments you can’t recreate afterwards.

”Wow!! It is amazing! Thank you so much Josef for capturing our memories and making them last for eternity...!”

A Party in the Yellow Pavilion

After the ceremony the celebration moved to the Yellow Pavilion on the castle grounds.

This was my first wedding with Mariella Rietschel at Wedding Planner Stockholm, and she had the day perfectly organised, so my job was simple: arrive, point the camera in the right direction and let the couple do all the work. Joking aside, I put a lot of time and love into every film. Sometimes it’s just a little easier.

I filmed together with photographer Sonia Jansson, who documented the day with Tamara and Martin’s love for each other at the centre.

”As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I can honestly say that I was incredibly impressed with the results, it will be treasured by us for many years to come. I have played it over and over many times to my friends and clients and the reaction is always the same – SIMPLY AMAZING!!!”
