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.
