Inge & Stuart said their vows to each other on the 4th of October 2014 at the tranquil and beautiful gem of a venue, Olive Mystery, in Bapsfontein. I can not emphasise enough what lovely people Inge & Stuart are – I’ve been looking forward to their wedding day since I met them. Inge & I share a love for rabbits so I absolutely adore the bunny decor! So much thought went into every detail of their wedding day and it shows – their day was perfect and the start of what I believe will be a fairytale marriage 🙂

MR & MRS LOWRY |helderfontein johannesburg weddingJune 20, 2014

posted in Real Weddings

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!

How did you meet?

Izelle & Fred are one of those couples that I bonded really well with (not just because the bride and I share the same name, hehe) – I looked forward to their wedding since the moment I met them; it was obvious it would be an amazing day. They were so great to work with during their engagement couple photoshoot (see their botanical garden engagement session here) and their wedding day was even more fun with the stunning touches to their decor and their beautiful wedding venue. They said their vows on the 22nd of February 2014 at The Nutcracker Country Retreat and Wedding Venue in Parys, Free State.

One thing that really stands out for me on their wedding day was the cheerful ambience thanks to their guests and family – it’s always beautiful to see the families of a newly married couple embracing each other with open arms and the heartfelt and funny speeches shared on their day (it was quite hilarious when one of the guests acted as a fake sign language interpreter during Fred’s speech) – it truly was a fairytale wedding for two beautiful people that are so obviously each other’s soulmates 🙂

MR & MRS LOUW |blades roodeplaat pretoria weddingFebruary 6, 2014

Jani & Pieter said their vows on the 30th of November 2013 at The Blades Hotel in Roodeplaat, Pretoria. Earlier in 2013 I had an awesome urban engagement session with them in the heart of JHB’s city bowl: Jani & Pieter’s Urban Newtown Session. I knew then already their wedding day would be precious and I had a great time working with them. It was a perfect day – perfect weather and the ambience was just fantastic. Mr & Mrs Louw are a lovely couple and made sure to keep their wedding day personal by having friends’ perform songs for them and spoiling their guests with an extravagant six course meal! Their decor had an elegant French Country Chic theme and I just loved the gorgeous proteas.

Their advice for future brides & grooms is to enjoy the day and not to stress unnecessarily – it’s you and your partner’s dream coming true!

MR & MRS SMIT |kuthaba bush modimolle weddingOctober 7, 2013

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!”
