\"Groom<\/figure>

Besa and Arben chose a civil wedding in Nieuw-West, at the Stadsloket a few streets from their home. Their families come from Kosovo, and the closest of them came along on a sunny August morning. From the first kiss to the bouquet toss by the Sloterplas, it all took less than forty minutes.<\/p>

A civil wedding at the Stadsloket in Nieuw-West is short, so I plan around the minutes that matter: the vows, the signatures, the first hugs. Small days like this one are a real part of my wedding photography in Amsterdam<\/a>.<\/p>

A Wall of Plants Before the Ceremony<\/h2>

We met at 11:18. Before the families went in, a dark wall with hanging plants and palms gave us a quiet corner. Besa wore a sleeveless white dress and ballet flats, and she held white roses with baby’s breath. Arben wore a black waistcoat, a white shirt and a bow tie.<\/p>

Vows in a Small Civil Wedding Room<\/h2>

At 11:27, they walked into the ceremony room together, past their families on two short rows of chairs. A boy in white grinned up at them as they passed.<\/p>

\"Bride<\/figure>

The room was small and bright, with an orange abstract painting behind the registrar’s wooden lectern and a bunch of summer flowers beside it. During the vows, the two of them stood hand in hand in front of him. Meanwhile, I stayed low behind the flowers, so their colors would blur across the front of the frame.<\/p>

When Besa burst out laughing, Arben glanced my way.<\/p>

Signatures and Applause<\/h2>

Then it was time to sign. Besa went first, smiling across the table, and Arben signed right after her.<\/p>

\"Bride<\/figure>

\"Witness<\/figure>

Their two witnesses signed next, one in olive satin and one in pale blue. The first could not stop laughing. Finally, the registrar leaned over his lectern and added his own name.<\/p><\/div>

\"Registrar<\/figure>

Then the room broke into applause. A boy in white was the first to hug Arben. Moments later, a tall friend in a cream suit wrapped Besa in a long hug.<\/p>

From the Stadsloket to the Sloterplas<\/h2>

At 11:36, everyone stood outside under the red Stadsloket sign, and a few of them waved at the camera. Five minutes later, we were on the wide stone quay of the Sloterplas, the lake of the Sloterpark<\/a>, where a fountain rose from the water.<\/p>

With the fountain behind them, Arben spun Besa around while gulls circled overhead. Then he lifted her off her feet, bouquet and all.<\/p>

\"Groom<\/figure>

The youngest guest, a baby in a pink dress, got a moment too. Arben held the baby in one arm while he and Besa kissed.<\/p>

\"Newlyweds<\/figure>

A Civil Wedding Ends by the Water<\/h2>

Away from the group, I came close. Two of those frames work best in black and white, where only the kiss and their faces remain.<\/p>

\"Black-and-white<\/figure>

Next, the rings came out of a little pink box, and Arben slid one onto the finger of Besa, right above the white roses.<\/p>

\"Groom<\/figure>
\"Close-up<\/figure><\/div>
\"Couple<\/figure>

Then they sat down on the edge of the quay, between the petunias and the water. When I called their names, both looked back over their shoulders and smiled.<\/p><\/div>

\"Bride<\/figure>

To finish, everyone lined up along the quay, and Besa lifted her roses high. Her two witnesses kissed her on both cheeks.<\/p>

\"Civil<\/figure>
\"Two<\/figure>

Last came the bouquet. Besa turned her back to her friends and threw it over her head, and her witness in pale blue caught it. At four minutes to twelve, their civil wedding in Nieuw-West ended with arms in the air.<\/p>
