Wedding | Jaco & Zanandi

Jaco & Zanandi's wedding was a fairy tale from beginning to the end.  I've met with them to do an engagement session (view the pictures here) and just realised again the huge value of an engagement photo shoot.  On their wedding day they were so use to me (and my camera ! :-) ) you could just see how relaxed they were on their wedding day.  An engagement photo shoot can be seen as a "rehearsal" of the wedding day and the couple can then get to know the photographer and know more or less what to expect on their wedding day.  This is so important, as you dont get to re-shoot your wedding day.. :-) 

Wedding | Sakkie & Hermien

A few weeks ago friends of mine got married at Zebra Country Lodge.  What a fabulous wedding !  The wedding started at 8:00 in the morning. The atmosphere felt so crisp and fresh.  It was a little over cast so the light was so soft.  Hermien looked fantastic and I just absolutely loved her hat !  One of our very talented friends, Alma Fouche, designed and made Hermien's hat.  What made this wedding so special, is that it reminded me of a true farm wedding - 200+ guests, good food and almost all the guests knew each other.. We had so much fun and lost track of time, when I looked at my watch it was already 3:00 in the afternoon !  I really enjoyed this unique wedding and there was so much love present that day, one could almost touch it.. Sakkie and Hermien, I wish you a blessed life together.

 

Pieter and Madelein - Pieter was the MC for the wedding.

While the guests were waiting for the newlywed couple, coffee and rusks were served !  In a very traditional way.. :-)  Very good idea.. especially early in the morning.. :-)
