Sazi & Daisy celebrated their union as husband & wife at the idyllic Thornbirds Centre in Johannesburg with a splendor of purple & lavender. I’ve been eager for their wedding ever since we captured their engagement photoshoot last year (click here to view their engagement photoshoot at Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens). One of my favourite memories of their day was how much everyone enjoyed themselves, almost all the guests were on the dancefloor by the end of the evening! It was a happy & beautiful celebration of two people that are perfect for each other.

MR & MRS RAMSDEN |lombardy pretoria weddingDecember 11, 2014

Theonette & Gordon said their “I do’s” on the 8th of November 2014 at Lombardy Boutique Hotel in Pretoria during an intimate wedding ceremony. They booked us to only cover the ceremony and post-ceremony portraits – it was a pleasure to be a part of this incredible couple’s special day. I absolutely adore Theonette’s wedding dress and I love that it’s a sentimental creation: it’s a transformation of her mother’s wedding gown. The weather also worked along so well on the day – a few good luck raindrops fell right after the ceremony but stopped just in time for us to capture the portraits outside!

MR & MRS JOOSTE |kuthaba bush lodge modimolle limpopo weddingJuly 21, 2014

This wedding was absolutely beautiful – Kuthaba Bush Lodge in Modimolle/Nylstroom, Limpopo, remains one of my favourite wedding venues with its stunning sunset and bush scenery. This was also our last wedding of the first half of 2014’s wedding season – Liezel and Wicus said their vows on the cliff at Kuthaba on the 24th of May 2014; I’m so glad we were able to wrap up this wedding season with such a creatively inspiring wedding. Their precious day was filled with colourful homemade touches and vintage elements. I adored every part of this wedding and I loved working with this couple.

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.

PITTAWAYS |botanical gardens family sessionFebruary 7, 2014

There’s nothing I enjoy more on a weekend than a family session – and the Pittaways were just too lovely for words! Mariana, Tulsa & little Keenan are the perfect little family and I’m still impressed with how eagerly Keenan posed for the camera!

The session ended off with a casual picnic at the botanical gardens and Tulsa entertained us with some relaxed guitar playing. It was great fun! Here’s some shots from their session:
