Max and Ciarra’s Spring wedding in Amsterdam was definitely one of my favorite weddings of 2022 wedding season.
As expats living in Amsterdam, they chose this beautiful city as the place to say “I do”, inviting all of their loved ones from the United States for a full weekend of celebration. A wedding in Amsterdam is not just about the day itself, but about the entire experience, and this weekend had it all.





The wedding weekend kicked off with a memorable boat cruise through Amsterdam’s iconic canals. Max and Ciarra enjoyed Dutch appetizers and drinks while slowly cruising through the city.
Before the boat departed, we took advantage of the soft spring light for a short photoshoot along the canals.
This boat cruise was the perfect start to the wedding weekend.
















The following day, the wedding preparations took place at the stylish Pulitzer Amsterdam hotel, which provided the perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful getting ready photos.
The rooms offer a combination of classic elegance and soft natural light, creating the ideal setting for capturing those intimate morning moments.
















The ceremony took place at the stunning Het West-Indisch Huis, one of the most iconic wedding venues in Amsterdam. Everything was beautifully styled by Definitely Yes Weddings, with florals by The Bridal Blush that perfectly complemented the setting.
What made this wedding extra special was the personal touch in every detail.
Every part of this wedding was curated with so much care. The wedding rings by Razny Jewelers and Ciarra’s elegant Sarah Seven gown, everything felt cohesive and intentional.
Her look was completed with Aquazzura shoes, delicate jewelry and a timeless bridal style that perfectly matched the atmosphere of the day. Max’s tuxedo by Michael & Giso added a classic and refined touch.
