Sona & Pavel’s beautiful Moravian Wedding in Dolni Kounice!

Congratulations to Sona & Pavel who recently wedded in the beautiful Moravian countryside!

Sona & Pavel chose to wed at the beautiful 16th Century Chapel of St. Anthony that was built in 1757 by Frantisek Antonin Grim. The chapel overlooks the Moravian town of Dolni Kounice and is simply a beautiful setting to not only marry but to take in the tranquil valley below. In addition to the chapel there is a Calvalry with 14 stations that lead to the chapel.

After their wedding and congratulations (complete with the local Plum brandy) it was time to head to the castle that is on another hill that is opposite the chapel for the dinner and party complete with live music and many bottles of locally produced ‘frankovka’ wine. With so many young families and children on hand it was a wonderful atmosphere for everyone as Sona & Pavel really wanted the children to enjoy their wedding day as well.

Nearby the castle is a convent that was founded in 1181 by Vilem z Pulina for the sisters of the Premonstrate Order. Vilem z Pulina was forced to build the convent as punishment for the depredation of monastaries and churches in Austria. Today most of the convent is in ruins and for Sona & Pavel it made an ideal place for an evening portrait session. As you can see it was a truly wonderful idea and Sona & Pavel really enjoyed their time together.

Later in the evening it was time to light the flying wishes. With so many people on hand, it was truly beautiful watching so many of them float gently up into the night sky – I am sure many of the people on hand, many will never forget this truly beautiful wedding day.

To Sona & Pavel – congratulations again! It was a real treat for me to be a part of your beautiful wedding day. I wish both of you much love, happiness and success in your new life’s together as husband & wife.
