Wedding Ceremony Photo at ship Harbor of clear bubble umbrella to shield bride and groom from the rain

Holding a clear bubble umbrella to shield themselves from the rain, Jan and Rebecca walk down the aisle together before the wedding ceremony begins. The wedding guests look on with anticipation as a tourist ferry approaches the dock from a distance.

Rather than planning a grand and opulent wedding that was more focused on pomp and pageantry than on the love they shared for one another, Jan and Rebecca opted for a simple, eclectic, and romantic outdoor ceremony in the port of Hamburg. When rain threatened their day, this couple welcomed the unexpected hiccup. They knew that nothing would stop them from becoming husband and wife, and they were simply grateful to be sharing the moment with the people they loved the most. Their relaxed nature and their genuine affection for one another made for an unforgettable wedding ceremony.
