MR & MRS KRUGER |kiepersol parys weddingDecember 11, 2013

posted in Real Weddings

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 DU TOIT |kuthaba bush modimolle weddingMay 28, 2013

posted in Real Weddings

I really love when couples book me way in advance – it gives me so much time to get to know them. They end up feeling more like friends than clients! Madelaine & Jaun are one of these couples. I’ve been chatting to Madelaine for many months about their wedding day and she kept me up-to-date with every part of the planning process. I have such a soft spot for this beautiful (inside & out) bride and it was devastating when I heard that her father passed away just before their wedding day. I thought it was beautiful that she dedicated a very precious scrapbook to her father on the day to make sure his presence was felt. Her elegance in dealing with every and any difficult situation has given me such great respect for her.

Their vintage dusky rose wedding was held at Kuthaba Bush Lodge in Modimolle, Limpopo on the 20th of April 2013. It was a weekend affair and started with a social braai the Friday evening, their wedding on the Saturday and a breakfast buffet on the Sunday morning. We were all pretty tense when it POURED on the wedding day – now don’t get me wrong, rain can be amazing on a wedding day – but these two were hoping for a sunny day and I just felt they deserved to have this wish come true. Needless to say, it was a BIG relief when the rain stopped just before the ceremony started and we had the most beautiful golden sunlight to work with during the newly-wed session. 🙂

 

How did you meet?

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

posted in Real Weddings

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:
