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.

How did you meet?

MR & MRS KRUGER |kiepersol parys weddingDecember 11, 2013

Hanlie & Bennie met whilst doing their articles together – romance bloomed and on the 12th of October 2013 they said their vows at Kiepersol Wedding Village in Parys, Free State. It was a perfect day at the perfect setting – I’ve had the privilege to cover a few weddings at Kiepersol before and I’m always suprised at how much effort the venue coordinators put into the decor – each wedding is so unique and picturesque.

Hanlie & Bennie were an amazing couple to work with – they are so comfortable together & they made their wedding a fun one in every way possible. I especially enjoyed the lively opening of the dancefloor! 🙂

MR & MRS TEN CATE | olive mystery bapsfontein weddingDecember 4, 2012

I cannot even begin to describe how much fun I had at Claudi & Luan’s wedding! I couldn’t help but giggle as I edited their photographs – Mr & Mrs ten Cate really enjoyed poking a bit of fun at typical wedding poses! Claudi & Luan said their vows on the 25th of October 2012 at Olive Mystery in Bapsfontein. I adored all the decor and details at their wedding! They put an incredible amount of thought into everything and the blue and red colours just work so well together. The weather also played along perfectly on their wedding day: Claudi’s wish for an overcast day came true and I love how dramatic the sky looks in their couple photographs. I also enjoyed the fact that we had some couple photographs done prior to the ceremony – it really gave us the extra time we needed to get those romantic wedding photographs as well as some random, crazy poses!

Here’s Claudi’s version of how they met:
