It was an ideal marriage (pun intended) of rural charm and big-city convenience. The bucolic setting gave the couple all the colorful best of what Mother Nature has to offer. The newlyweds got ready with views of verdant hills in the background. They exchanged their vows with a stunning blue sky above them. And they posed for gorgeous couples portraits with tall, late-summer cornstalks towering behind them. As you might imagine given the backdrop, the photos of their wedding were jaw-droppingly beautiful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald offered Julia and Bj\u00f6rn all the elegance of a wedding venue in a major metropolitan area. The seating and decorations for their outdoor ceremony were as lovely as they were comfortable. The air-conditioned reception room was beautifully illuminated by the late-day sun. And the food and drinks were delicious!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bridal Preparations for a Country Inn Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Julia grew up in the same town where their venue is located, she chose to get ready for her wedding at her parents\u2019 house. Their gorgeous home sits on a hill overlooking Alfeld, a quaint little town about an hour south of Hannover, Germany. The views from their balcony were absolutely stunning. They were an ideal background for a lovely series of bridal portraits before Julia left for the Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we arrived, the bride and her sister were getting their hair and makeup done. We jumped right into the photography coverage and took some fun and creative pictures of that process. Afterwards, Julia\u2019s two maids of honor arrived, and the bride-to-be spent some time chatting with them over a shared bottle of nonalcoholic champagne. The star of that part of the day, though, was Julia and Bj\u00f6rn\u2019s adorable beagle. We captured great images of him hanging around the food table hopefully and looking at Julia mournfully as she prepared to leave for her country inn wedding without him.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\"

good friends, her future husband\u2019s was one big party. Which wasn\u2019t surprising, given that one of the first activities we documented photographically was a trip to the grocery store to buy crates of beer!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bj\u00f6rn got prepped for their German countryside wedding at the venue itself. But as we said above, his getting-ready process wasn\u2019t really about getting dressed. It was about having fun! Before getting into his suit, Bj\u00f6rn played a really fun Northern German game with his groomsmen and friends. Said game involved hurling a tennis ball at a propane canister and then chugging a beer while the other team chased down the throw. Which sort of explains why they needed to hit the store to stock up on beer! As you can see, that resulted in a lot of fun, creative and action-packed photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3355\"

400;\">Gorgeous and Charming Country Wedding Ceremony<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julia and Bj\u00f6rn tied the knot in a simple and touching outdoor ceremony on the lovely lawn that sprawls behind the Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald. With their few dozen guests sitting well apart from one another due to COVID restrictions, the wedding felt both large and intimate at the same time. Though the ceremony hit many of the typical beats of a German wedding &#8212; the officiant talking about the couple\u2019s path to the altar, for example &#8212; the bride and groom found unique ways to make it personal. For instance, the guests lit sparklers partway through the proceedings. Additionally, the best men and maids of honor placed small gifts in a lovely wooden box that was sitting next to the couple. The photographic highlight of the ceremony, though, was the shot we captured with our drone of the newlyweds exiting as their guests gave them a round of applause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the ceremony and a round of family pictures, we took Julia and Bj\u00f6rn off for their couples portraits. Neither we nor they could have asked for a better setting than the aforementioned cornfields just behind the location of the ceremony. The colors &#8212; the yellows of the corn, greens of the grass and blues of the sky &#8212; were absolutely spectacular and a perfect way to tell the story of their charming country wedding. They paled in comparison, however, with the beauty of Julia and Bj\u00f6rn\u2019s love for one another. The pair had an easy familiarity with each other that was a result of them having been together since high school. That comfort gave an extra layer of tenderness to the portraits we created of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3364\"

400;\">More Fun and Games Before Julia and Bj\u00f6rn&#8217;s Charming Country Inn Wedding Reception<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the marriage celebrations moved indoors for the reception, the newlyweds participated in a few more games and fun German wedding traditions. After their portraits, Julia and Bj\u00f6rn joined the groom\u2019s friends in another round of the aforementioned tennis ball drinking game. We decided to be a little bolder this time. So we took pictures from just behind the propane tank of the ball flying at us. (Don\u2019t worry! We got out of the way just in time!)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, the couple headed back to the Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald\u2019s main building for their charming country inn wedding reception. Before going in, though, they participated in two little more little games. The first was the cutting of a heart-shaped whole in a bed sheet. This is a staple of every German wedding. It is meant to be the first thing a newly married couple does as a team. We love the tradition, as it gives us a chance to create some beautiful and creative pictures!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As does the next customary rite that Julia and Bj\u00f6rn observed. The newlyweds used a tandem saw to cut off the end of a log &#8212; another metaphor for the teamwork required to make a marriage work. We absolutely loved the images of those moments. Pictures of the couple laughing as clouds of sawdust filled the air will be unforgettable reminders of the fun they had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3285\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/German-Wedding-Tradition-at-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC_Wedding-Photographers-of-Potoks-World-Photography.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and groom cutting a sheet together as part of a wedding tradition in northern Germany by Potok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/German-Wedding-Tradition-at-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC_Wedding-Photographers-of-Potoks-World-Photography.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/German-Wedding-Tradition-at-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC_Wedding-Photographers-of-Potoks-World-Photography-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/German-Wedding-Tradition-at-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC_Wedding-Photographers-of-Potoks-World-Photography-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1200px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3373\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding games at elegant rustic wedding at Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of POtok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-035-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3374\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding games at elegant rustic wedding at Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of POtok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-036-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3375\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional German wedding games at elegant rustic wedding at Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of POtok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038-1080x719.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-038-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Last Bit of Laughter to Conclude an Elegant Rustic Wedding at Gasthof Gr\u00fcner Wald<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reception, though largely low-key and understated, had similarly fun and memorable moments. The one we enjoyed the most was another game the couple\u2019s friends designed for the amusement of all present. Julia and Bj\u00f6rn had to stomp on balloons to collect the coins their friends had put inside. The catch? The bride had to wear fuzzy bear-foot slippers that kept sliding off the balloons. The good news was that her new husband could help her by holding the balloons in place. The bad news, though, was that the had to don matching bear-paw gloves that made gripping the rubber nearly impossible. As the DJ played carnival music, the couple gamely attempted to get the balloons open. Naturally, the crowd roared with laughter as the latter kept slipping away from them. Of course, the cheers that greeted their eventual success were just as loud!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3376\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding reception games at a German destination wedding in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of Potok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-040-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3377\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding reception games at a German destination wedding in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of Potok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potoksworldphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Julia-and-Bjo\u0308rn-041-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3320\" src=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Reception-Games-at-German-Destination-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC-Wedding-Photographer-of-Potoks-World-Photography.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding reception games at a German destination wedding in Ahlfeld by DC wedding photographers of Potok's World Photography\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Reception-Games-at-German-Destination-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC-Wedding-Photographer-of-Potoks-World-Photography.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Reception-Games-at-German-Destination-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC-Wedding-Photographer-of-Potoks-World-Photography-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/potokphoto.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wedding-Reception-Games-at-German-Destination-Wedding-in-Ahlfeld-by-DC-Wedding-Photographer-of-Potoks-World-Photography-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1200px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you so much, Julia and Bj\u00f6rn, for entrusting your wedding photography to us!
