Gabi & Andre said their vows on the 1st of March 2014 at the picturesque Casablanca Manor Wedding Venue in Pretoria. It was a beautiful rainy day and I just loved working with this lovely couple. Gabi looked amazing in her beautiful gown fit for a princess and along with their wedding theme being elegant with touches of pink and grey, it truly was a fairytale day 🙂

In an elegant and soft pastel covered celebration, Maryke & Wim tied the knot on the 9th of March 2013 at Misty River wedding venue in the South of Johannesburg. It was a beautiful day & I just adore how in love these two are!

In Maryke’s own words, this is how the two of them met:

“At the end of 2010, we were supposed to meet at a braai on a blind date, which never happened. I then invited Wim as a friend on Facebook and we occasionally said ‘hello’ to each other. Only about 10 months after we were initially supposed to meet, did we go on our first date and it was pretty much love at first sight.”

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:
