Jani & Pieter said their vows on the 30th of November 2013 at The Blades Hotel in Roodeplaat, Pretoria. Earlier in 2013 I had an awesome urban engagement session with them in the heart of JHB’s city bowl: Jani & Pieter’s Urban Newtown Session. I knew then already their wedding day would be precious and I had a great time working with them. It was a perfect day – perfect weather and the ambience was just fantastic. Mr & Mrs Louw are a lovely couple and made sure to keep their wedding day personal by having friends’ perform songs for them and spoiling their guests with an extravagant six course meal! Their decor had an elegant French Country Chic theme and I just loved the gorgeous proteas.

Their advice for future brides & grooms is to enjoy the day and not to stress unnecessarily – it’s you and your partner’s dream coming true!

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:
