Gabi & Andre said their vows on the 1st of March 2014 at the picturesque Casablanca Manor Wedding Venue in Pretoria. It was a beautiful rainy day and I just loved working with this lovely couple. Gabi looked amazing in her beautiful gown fit for a princess and along with their wedding theme being elegant with touches of pink and grey, it truly was a fairytale day 🙂

Sarina & Samuel said their vows on the 22nd of June 2013, a sunny winter’s day, at the beautiful Shelanti Garden’s chapel in Centurion. Their wedding day started with a morning ceremony, an early reception and we ended the day off with the newlywed photo session. We just loved working with both of them, they are both such kind-hearted, friendly and interesting people – they make the perfect match!
Sarina, a radio presenter, and Samuel, a Strongman and film producer are both fitness lovers, so I just love that we managed to sneak into the gym at Blue Valley Golf Estate for some of the newlywed photos. You rarely see a bride and groom lifting weights on their wedding day! Their wedding day had so many unique and beautiful elements – from the cowboy and angel theme to the goldfish table centrepieces – but I couldn’t expect anything less from such an ambitious and driven duo 🙂

Beverley & Kent said their vows on the 11th of May 2013, a rainy winter’s day, at Three Rivers – a lovely boutique hotel in the Vaal/Vereeniging area. Beverley was a bridesmaid at a previous wedding we covered and it was great seeing her as a bride. Both of them looked amazing – I just love her fitted gown & those vibrant blue bridesmaid dresses. A storm started brewing just before the couple’s photo session and we had a chance to play around with umbrellas and undercover areas for a change. Fortunately, Three Rivers Boutique Hotel had a wide variety of undercover options 😉
How did you meet/fall in love and how did the proposal happen?
Beverley: “We met in first year varsity at Wits. Kent was the quiet guy and I was the lost blonde girl. I asked him if he was in my physics class and we started chatting occasionally. Kent was so quiet that I actually thought he found me to be annoying, so when he asked me out (via SMS) I was rather stunned and confused. Kent proposed after eight years, in our home. He put the ring box in between a huge spread of sushi (my favourite food)… It was a random day in the week and so was very unexpected.”
Can you tell me about your inspiration – how did you do things differently?

Ronnie and Trevor share such an amazing love story together (click here to read more about their love story and to see their Botanical Garden’s engagement session photos). I have so much admiration for them both. Their wedding day was the light at the end of a difficult struggle with cancer – on the 16th of March 2013, Ronnie and Trevor finally said their vows at Forest Walk in Midrand and embraced their new life together as Mr & Mrs Swanepoel!
Ronnie took the time to answer a few questions:

If you follow our blog, you might recognize Monika & Gareth from their engagement session beginning 2012 (click here to view Monika & Gareth’s coffee date & picnic e-session). Back then they had barely even decided on a venue yet, but I knew that what ever they ended up planning would be awesome and it sure was! Monika & Gareth said their “I do’s” on the 24th of November 2012 at Chrisanna wedding venue in Krugersdorp.
I asked Monika to tell me about her favourite part of their wedding day:
