Getting married in Luxembourg City
The capital marries mid-week only, in the middle of the day. That single fact decides the whole timeline: the ceremony lands in hard midday light on Place Guillaume II, and the couple’s guests are working that morning. We plan portraits away from the square — the Grund, the casemates walls, the Corniche — and treat the town-hall block as reportage, not as the portrait session.
