Emlyn & Deon said their vows on the 15th of December 2012 at Hoffeldts Restaurant and Wedding venue in Heidelberg – a small town just outside of Johannesburg. It was a small and intimate wedding with only very close friends and family to celebrate the union of Mr & Mrs Marais.
“We kept everything very simple and uncomplicated,” Emlyn says, “which lead to a beautiful, stress-free day.”

Anneri & Timothy celebrated their most treasured day on the 23rd of November 2012 at one of my favourite Johannesburg venues, Helderfontein Estate in Lonehill. Tim proposed to Anneri during a suprise romantic weekend getaway at the picturesque Wyford Farm in Van Reenen. Anneri describes his proposal as a very special and personal proposal at a cosy fireplace in a candle-lit room.
I asked Anneri about their inspiration for their wedding day:

I met Lavern & Riaan for the first time during their engagement couple session last year & really enjoyed getting to know both of them – click here to view Lavern & Riaan’s picnic engagement photoshoot. They mentioned from the beginning that their wedding would be all about the friends and family and it truely was!
They said their vows on the 3rd of November 2012 at a lovely new wedding venue situated between Germiston and Boksburg: Antiqua Wedding Venue. Lavern & Riaan both prepared at their own homes and it was so special seeing all the family and friends that waited outside their homes. Lavern arrived at Antiqua Wedding Venue in a horse-drawn carriage and the venue was decorated with beautiful white & purple flowers.

It feels like I waited forever for this wedding! Since Elaine & Manfred’s engagement session earlier this year (click here to see Elaine & Manfred’s Duncan Yard e-session), it feels like I’ve been counting down the days to their wedding! I just knew it would be something creative & beautiful. They are such a cute and loving couple and I was really looking forward to working with them on their wedding day! They decided on Kiepersol Wedding Village in Parys as their wedding venue & said their vows on the 27th of October 2012.
Mr & Mrs Smit decided on a romantic forest theme for their wedding day and they did a great job with all the decor! The venue was a perfect match for their theme and even the rain on the day really suited the look and feel! The whole day felt like a fairy tale. The ambience was amazing & everyone was so excited and truly happy for this couple.
Here’s Elaine’s version of how Manfred proposed:

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:
