Thomas & Aimee’s wedding was the PERFECT wedding to end off 2014 – it was a photographer’s dream day to capture and I adore this couple to bits. They were obviously made for each other – they complement each other in every way possible and were such amazing people to work with. The month of their wedding we also covered their engagement session, have a look at it here: Aimee & Thomas Bicycle Themed Engagement Photoshoot. They said their vows on the 14th of December 2014 in the most beautiful town, Tzaneen, in Limpopo. Their decor was filled with personal touches – because they live in Rotterdam in the Netherlands together and this means lots of travelling by bicycles, they also brought in a subtle bicycle theme on their wedding day. They kept their guests to the minimum, which ensured an intimate and festive feel and Kings Walden Garden Manor was the perfect venue to host their celebration. There are so many things that I love about their wedding (the gin bar for example is such a great idea!), so instead of listing them, I’ll just trust the photos to tell the story 🙂

Catherine & Nicholas tied the knot (literally!) on the 11th of October 2014 at my favourite farmstyle wedding venue, Rosemary Hill, in Pretoria. Their wedding day was filled with beautiful handmade touches which complemented their farmstyle chic decor – and both Catherine and Nicholas looked amazing! We had the opportunity to take photos at such a wide variety of locations on the farm – from the greenhouse, with the cows, ruins, foresty areas and the farm fields.

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.

I’m beyond excited about this couple’s wedding! They shared so many spontaneous and silly moments together during their couple session at the picturesque Helderfontein Estate in Fourways, Johannesburg – if this was any prediction of how their wedding day will be, I bet it will be very fun! Melissa and Stefan just mesh so well together.


Here’s their love story (sorry non-Afrikaans speaking folk; I’m posting this story in the couple’s own words in their mother tongue):

Wow, working with these two was such an awesome experience – they have such a fun, down-to-earth, playful way of approaching life and love. From the moment I first met them (and especially after their engagement session), I knew their wedding would be something beautiful! Nic & Bozenia said their vows on the 24th of August 2013 at Kuthaba Bush Lodge which is located in Modimolle (Nylstroom), Limpopo. I just loved how personal their wedding day was and I once again realised that a wedding day truly is the joining of two families when their parents walked out of the ceremony embraced together with big smiles!

Nic & Bozenia looked amazing (that big bow on Bozenia’s wedding dress looked stunning!), the guests had tons of fun and the weather was perfect – we were even spoiled with a golden bushveld sunset. Needless to say, we loved being a part of their wedding day!

What was your favourite part of your wedding day?

Bozenia: “It is very difficult to say for everything went so well and it was exactly what we wanted! But here’s my shortlist – the wedding ceremony on top of the cliffs was very special, our first dance together as husband and wife and lastly my father-in-law’s speech which was incredible, from tears to laughter, emotions all over!”
