Annemari — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:32:39 +0000

Sumari and Alexander celebrated their marrage on Alexander’s beautiful family farm, Natte Valleij. The day was filled with family, friends, and with kids and dogs running around everywhere – my kind of wedding

Ilse + Adrian – Devon Valley Wedding

Nick — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:00:05 +0000

Well, technically not a wedding. Ilse & Adrian got married in New York City (where they live) quite a few months before this, but without Ilse’s family present. So they renewed their vows in Stellenbosch, with Ilse’s family and friends, and also Adrian’s family who flew in from the US.

The ceremony was held at the Devon Valley Hotel and the reception was just up the road at the House Of JC Le Roux.

A stunning wedding of a stunning couple…and proving it does happen, they were on or ahead of time the whole day! I had great fun at their wedding….Kerry and Jay were great and their guests gave us some really good laughs as well.

Pretty in Purple: Inspirational Details

Kate Rawbone — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:31:27 +0000

The making of a designer wedding means that we assist couples through the conceptualisation and design phase to interpret their individual ideas and to make sure that the day reflects their individuality. By carefully combining personalised and sentimental details with specially designed stationery and exciting décor concepts, the detail truly makes a statement! For Monika & Ronan’s recent December wedding in Paarl on an estate dressed with Jacaranda trees in full bloom, the detail came to life in wonderful tints and shades of purple, violet, magenta and plum; mixed amongst delicate pinks and white to soften the look. Silver was brought though as a strong contrast and accent colour with the luxurious addition of silver table cloths, exclusive silver charger plates and Tiffany chairs. The wedding stationery by Lara’s Design’s was a creative mix of modern canvas and Perspex, paired alongside luxurious letter-pressed menus with personalised ribbon, and thoughtful gifts at each place setting of colourful macaroons, also personalised with a thank you note from the couple. The guest book become a working piece of art where guests would “create” leaves on a tree by inking and stamping their fingers and leaving a message.

Low mixed arrangements of hydrangeas, Bombay roses, lisianthus, garden roses, and elegant magenta orchids added incredible pops of colour to the chic table setting. Lighting on the tables comprising of cylindrical glass vases with floating candles, hurricane vases with purple pillar candles and low glass votives ensured a romantic ambience once the sun had set. A fun cluster of white and purple Chinese lanterns suspended above a classic white and black checkered dance floor by Something-Different, created the perfect mood for this South African and Irish group to dance until “the wee hours of the morning”.

Zaayan&Junade wedding, Rylands Civic Centre & Darul Islam Islamic High School Hall, Cape Town

Conrad & Ricolette

Conrad and Ricolette’s wedding at Allee Bleue in Franschhoek – Keywords: Hoofs, Horses, Vintage Fairytale…

A word of advice – if you decide to get wedding photos taken with a horse, make sure its a friendly one!

Poor Ricolette walked away from their couple shoot with her hoof print patterned dress and a bitten hand!!!!

But that did not dampen their spirits at all – If anything, it gave them the “hook”, a classic story they’ll tell a thousand times over, over the years to come.

Allee Bleue has a variety of wedding options including open air ceremonies under ancient oak trees; 3 reception areas and plenty of photo opportunities with beautiful Cape Dutch buildings, vineyards and expansive lavender fields, nestled in between the Franschhoek Mountains.

What a fantastic wedding Deon and Toni’s was. The formal shoot was done at Rhodes Memorial which is stunning and then onto Pigalle restaurant for the reception which is an incredible venue. They are such an amazing couple and I really wish them an incredible life together. Enjoy the photos.

Nelia & Savio, Nooitgedacht

Annemari — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:49:04 +0000

I have been looking forward to Nelia and Savio’s wedding for a long time. The day finally arrived with an early start, on one of those sweltering hot summer’s days, at Nelia’s parent’s home in Blouberg. All 11 bridesmaids and two flowersgirls got ready there and the house was buzzing with excitement.

Then it was off to St Agnes Catholic Church in Woodstock where Savio and the guests where waiting for Nelia. The ceremony was beautiful, although I couldn’t understand a word and just hoped I was at the right place at the right time for everything happening

Their reception was held at Nooitgedacht, just outside of Stellenbosch, one of my favourite venues.

What I loved about Nelia & Savio’s wedding is how their family helped with everything. Nelia’s aunt made her wedding dress as well as some of the bridesmaid’s dresses. The other bridesmaid’s dresses where made by another aunt. And Nelia’s mom made all the crochet decor and cross stitch table numbers.

Bishopscourt Post-Wedding Photos

OK Lets get this week started!

Beautiful Tamryn & Dincer’s Post-Wedding photos in Bishopscourt (Cape Town). Man, I love these portraits…. A bit of a stray from our normal reportage

style, but when you have a couple that know how to pose well, then why not play on their strengths!

If you did not see their wedding photos (at Val de Vie), then check it out here.

Tamryn & Dincer

stefan — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:18:47 +0000

Class, Charisma and Confidence…

There are no better words to describe handsome Dincer and his beautiful bride Tamryn. And no other spot in the whole of the winelands could suit this couple better than the very lavish Val de Vie Polo Estate in Franschhoek.

My favourite shots of the day: The cigar bar photos of the groom and his best men puffing away while sipping their Martini’s – James Bond has met his match!

Dincer – you’ve single handedly brought the white dinner jacket back into fashion!
