This wedding at Landgoed Marquette began in empty rooms and ended in front of a gilded mirror. Selin and Emre came from Turkey to marry at the castle in Heemskerk, with their two closest friends.<\/p>

Heemskerk lies near the coast, northwest of Amsterdam, so this day is one of my photoshoots across the Netherlands<\/a>. Selin had chosen the estate for its rooms, and Emre for its garden.<\/p>

Landgoed Marquette in the Early Spring Sun<\/h2>

I arrived early, because I like to see the rooms while they are still quiet. Marquette Castle<\/a> is mostly an 18th-century house, but its tall stair tower is far older. On the lawn, the trees were still bare, a white goose wandered past and the sky was deep blue.<\/p>

Inside, the ceremony room was ready, with rows of red chairs under a crystal chandelier. Before anyone arrived, I photographed the small things of a wedding at Landgoed Marquette. A gilded table held red tulips beside a pink velvet chair, and an old mirror caught the chandelier.<\/p>

From the Fireplace to the Ballroom<\/h2>

Selin waited in a light room with a marble fireplace, her veil spread far across the wooden floor. When Emre came in, they first stood side by side for a while and simply smiled. I stayed back, so those first minutes belonged to them.<\/p>

Then we moved slowly from window to window. Beside a red damask curtain, Selin rested her head against his cheek. Later, Emre sat on a deep windowsill next to a vase almost as tall as she is. She leaned in until their foreheads touched.<\/p>
