In an elegant and soft pastel covered celebration, Maryke & Wim tied the knot on the 9th of March 2013 at Misty River wedding venue in the South of Johannesburg. It was a beautiful day & I just adore how in love these two are!

In Maryke’s own words, this is how the two of them met:

“At the end of 2010, we were supposed to meet at a braai on a blind date, which never happened. I then invited Wim as a friend on Facebook and we occasionally said ‘hello’ to each other. Only about 10 months after we were initially supposed to meet, did we go on our first date and it was pretty much love at first sight.”

Evasen and Celia are the sweetest, kind-hearted couple and it was such a pleasure capturing the moments on their wedding day. They had a Hindu wedding ceremony on the 10th of February 2013 at Galagos Country Estate, a lush forest venue just outside Pretoria.  They kept things simple with a wedding theme that Celia describes as “East meets East and then swings by West”. There are so many special elements in this wedding; I absolutely adored the beautiful colours during the ceremony and the fact that both bride and groom had exactly the same surprise for each other during the reception: videos from friends and family from all over the world!

I asked Celia to describe how/when she knew Evasen was the one:

End of last year we participated in Wedding Friends‘s 24-day Xmas Give Away. Here’s the blogpost regarding the awesome competition hosted by Wedding Friends: Win a Free Engagement Session worth R1000. The winner of the competition was announced on Wedding Friends’ blog as Charlene Riep!

Charlene and her then fiancé (now hubby) Morne wanted to do an engagement session with a retro feel so we headed to Ed’s Diner in Pretoria. It was such a fun photoshoot. Ed’s Diner is really such a great spot for an old-school setting!

 

In Charlene’s own words, this is their love story:

MR & MRS UYS | rosemary hill pretoria weddingMarch 13, 2013

It’s no secret that Rosemary Hill, a lovely organic farm just outside of Pretoria, is one of my favourite wedding venues in South Africa. So you can imagine my excitement when it was finally time for us on the 26th of January 2013 to photograph a wedding at this ridiculously awesome venue. Cloudene and Dietrich are such a wonderful couple! They just fit so well together – they complement each other in every way and I adore how natural they were in front of the camera.

I asked this lovely couple to share a bit of their relationship details with us:

 When did you know you had found the one:

“There was not a defining moment for either of us; no light bulb suddenly lit up. We gradually became aware that our friendship and love for another was sincere and honest. He has the goofiest jokes and the kindest heart of anyone I have ever met.”

“She has the most beautiful smile and most amazing way of making people feel comfortable around her. Her down to earth beauty and personality makes her an unbelievable partner and my best friend!”

 

How did you get engaged?
