Carla & Mickey’s turquoise and red vintage travel themed wedding was awe-inspiring! There were so many thoughtful elements added to each part of their wedding day. I adored the vintage suitcases, the gleeful bunting, the chalkboard messages and all the little details that added to their travel theme. Carla & Mickey tied the knot on the 3rd of May 2014 at Makiti Wedding Venue in Muldersdrift. It truly was an Autumn wedding – Makiti’s gardens were covered in leaves and it made for some lovely photos! These two make a stunning couple and that dress with its long train looked AMAZING!

MR & MRS YOUNG |shepstone gardens johannesburg weddingJuly 4, 2014

Nicole and Michael are two of the nicest people I’ve met. Their wedding was on the 2nd of May 2014 at the magnificent Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg. Their day was perfectly planned and it was fantastic to be a part of. Mr & Mrs Young both looked magnificent and I had so much fun working with this sweet, down-to-earth pair. Some of my favourite parts of their wedding day was all the handmade touches to the decor and wooden signage in the venue’s gardens; the black bridesmaids’ dresses; the bride’s purple Converse shoes; and the splendid ceremony area.

I’m thrilled to share this wedding! I met this lovely couple early last year at a wedding and have been eagerly awaiting their own special day ever since. Olivia & Brian said their vows at Helderfontein Estate in Johannesburg on the 26th of April 2014. The weather was perfect, Helderfontein provided the perfect backdrop and we were fortunate to have beautiful golden sunlight to work with during the newlywed session 🙂

So much detail went into every part of their wedding day; I love how unique their wedding theme was – they selected yellow and silver as wedding colours and combined it with a vintage plane theme.  The handmade elements to the decor brought a personal touch, Olivia and Brian both looked amazing and the ambience of their wedding day was fantastic with the sweetest heartfelt speeches. We just loved every second of this wedding!

Melissa & Stefan said their vows on the 12th of April 2014 and Klip River Country Estate, in Meyerton, provided the perfect backdrop with its enchanted gardens. After a fun time getting to know these two during their engagement photoshoot (here’s a link to Melissa & Stefan’s Helderfontein Picnic Engagement Session), I couldn’t wait until their wedding day: I expected the elegant handmade touches, beautiful flowers and wonderful ambience that made this couple’s wedding a pleasure to be a part of! 🙂

MR & MRS BOTHA |anro floral farm muldersdrift weddingMay 23, 2014

There’s nothing I love more than a unique wedding with a hearty personal touch – and this is exactly what Miranda & Werner’s wedding day was all about! They said their “I do’s” on the 5th of April 2014 at the Anro Floral Farm – and from what I understand there’s only been one other wedding held here. This uncharted gem of a venue is beautifully picturesque and Miranda and Werner’s family and friends helped to make this wedding day special, fun and filled with a cheerful ambience!

There are so many aspects of this wedding day that I adored to bits: the loafs as wedding favours; the couple’s stunning attire (that wedding gown left me in awe!); Miranda’s prep location being at her family plot in Muldersdrift (this was also the lovely location for their engagement photoshoot, here’s a link to that gorgeous session: Miranda & Werner’s Farmstyle Muldersdrift Engagement Session); Miranda’s inability to look seriously at the camera – she burst out in giggles each time and it made for the loveliest natural photos; the fact that their future home together as husband and wife is located on the wedding venue, so we were able to get photos of the newlyweds at their new home; and of course their chemistry together.
