Outdoor bohemian wedding close to Amsterdam

The Australian bride and Dutch groom got married at a beautiful place in Abcoude, which is close to Amsterdam. The rural wedding location is called “Boutique Hotel De Witte Dame” which translated means something like “The White Lady”.

The wedding location has a beautiful aesthetic and a chique design, while holding a very kind vibe to it. They have recently (2015) upgraded the location from being an old train station, to a boutique hotel and restaurant. It’s current design is tasteful and gives room to portray it’s old features rather lovely as well.

Abcoude is very close to Amsterdam. It’s a lovely village for weddings that want a bit more rural feel to it, but also have the big city close for a wedding party at the end of your wedding.

A little bit of history about the location. The old train station of Abcoude was opened in 1843 when the railroad between Amsterdam and Utrecht was put into use. The train station was build with an extra floor holding three apartments. These apartments were used by the people operating the station and facilities related to the station.

The train station was in use until 1977 when a new railroad was opened. A new and bigger train station was build which is still functioning today.

The old Abcoude train station was then abandoned until 2015 when local entrepreneurs decided to create the “Boutique Hotel de Witte Dame”.

Shooting family formals is not something everyone enjoys, but these pictures can be really valuable if done correctly… not too stiff, not too posed… it’s possible, trust me.
