MR & MRS FRAUENSTEIN |shelanti centurion weddingAugust 8, 2013

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 🙂

MR & MRS DU TOIT |kuthaba bush modimolle weddingMay 28, 2013

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. 🙂
