3-1-13 Z&T's Shotgun Wedding


On Thursday January 3rd 2013, my partner Tim (of 9+ years) and I officially tied the knot!  And yes, I made my own wedding cake and personalized cookies!  Flavor : Orange Vanilla Cake with Maple Cream Cheese filling with Roasted Pecans and Cherry Confit Jam.   

Our friend Sophie Blanchard (of Jaques Jour) made delicious gluten free Lemon Tarts and Catherine Conroy (fashion photographer by trade) made an amazing Australian Mud Cake!
  
Married!  And we did it in style!!!  We went for a "Shotgun Wedding" - Vintage Hunting Lodge theme (since we are pregnant with our first child). 
 The festivities were held at the fabulously newly renovated TOLHUIS in Amsterdam Noord.

See photos & info below!

TOLHUIS Amsterdam

Beautiful & unique location built in 1859 located just across the Ij River at the back of Centraal Station in Amsterdam Noord.  Event/location managers were extremely accommodating to all of our desires and because of that we were able to transform this already lovely location into our shotgun vintage hunting dream celebration house!
