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 am never quite sure what to expect when I meet a couple for the first time on their wedding day, but I was pleasantly surprised when I met this lovely, down-to-earth couple!
Rina & Stian said their “I do’s” on the 10th of November 2012 and chose Diamond 4 Estate in Muldersdrift as their wedding venue. It was a perfect day – even the rain decided to stop so that we could take some couple shots!
Rina and Stian based their wedding theme on the film Fireproof. This film has an iconic scene where a salt and a pepper shaker are glued together to indicate the bond between a husband and wife – hence the salt and pepper shakers on Mr & Mrs de Wit’s wedding cake as well as the cute sets they gave as wedding favours!

Jannike & Armand said their vows on the 20th of October 2012 at the majestic Waterfall Cove in Muldersdrift. These two met each other through mutual friends and at first sight knew they were meant for each other!
In 2008 Armand organised a hot air balloon trip for the two of them at Bill Harrops Balloon Safari’s in Hartbeespoortdam and it was upon landing that he went down on one knee and popped the big question!
Jannike & Armand decided on colours and decor ideas that suited both of their tastes – the royal blue, black and white went so well together and the reception area really looked amazing. The centrepieces were dramatic and beautiful – the lights on the tables covered with organza and the vases with floating candles really made the decor “come alive” during the evening. I also loved the ribbons tied in the trees outside the venue!
