Susan & Heinrich, Eersterivier

Heinrich & Susan’s wedding was wonderful, to say the least. I flew to PE where Susan’s brother, Phillip and his lovely wife Judith (fellow wedding photographer) picked me up at the airport. This was my first time in Eersterivier, a small holiday “town” about an hour and half’s drive from PE. And when I say “town” I really mean community consisting of a few houses and absolutely nothing else, except a golf club at the top of the hill.

The weekend’s celebrations started with good old South African potjiekos made by Heinrich himself. I’m sure it must have taken him the whole day to get that huge pot going!

Susan & Heinrich’s family made me feel so welcome and I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone. I enjoyed spending the whole weekend with you and thank you so much for having me as your photographer. It was an incredible experience.

Thank you

The morning of the wedding everyone helped with the flowers and setting setting up.

Susan wore an incredibly beautiful dress by Gelieft. Her bridemaid’s dresses where also by Gelieft.

On the beach it looked like there was a storm brewing …

The reception was held at Fynbos golf club.

Susan sang Songbird from Eva Cassidy (if I remember correctly), and it was too beautiful for words. I think everyone cried.
