Tersia en Renier Married!

Tersia and Renier got married at the beautiful Cabrieres in Montagu.  They are two of the most genuine people I know and it was really special for me to be a part of their wedding day.  Loved, loved, loved Tersia's dress!  I have to make a special mention of Cabrieres. This was one of my favourite venues yet.  It is beautiful and Jane who is in charge of the wedding co-ordination is an absolute joy to work with and so welcoming.  Check out this amazing video that Wynand van Wyk made of the venue and the wedding.

Thank you to Alitha, who came on the little road trip with me and for all your help.  She herself is a very talented photographer!

Marelie & Andre's Wedding @ Kleinevalleij

Marelie het al haar dekor self beplan, aangekoop, gemaak en haar tafels pragtig uitgelê.    Sy het besluit om haar tema rondom proteas en fynbos te bou en het met verskeie kleure en teksture rondgespeel om 'n klassieke maar vrolike en warm atmosfeer te skep.  Dit alles het sy vanaf Johannesburg gereël!  Die dag self was pragtig en al het ons son, wind en reënweer gehad, kon ons die fotosessie afsluit met 'n pragtige reënboog.  Dan 'n spesiale dankie aan die talentvolle Estie Thirion wat die 2de fotograaf was op die dag.

Elana and Werner Married! {Kronenburg,Paarl}

Elana and Werner got married on a glorious sunny winter's day in Paarl.  Wishing the two of you many happy and blessed years together as Mr and Mrs Nel!

Erna and Riaan's Winter Wedding @ Molenvliet

I actually can't write this post without it being personal.  Erna and I used to work together, before I became a full time photographer.  For the past ten years that we have known each other, we have laughed together, cried together and most importantly prayed for each other.  One of our many prayers answered came in the form of Riaan.  :)  

It was a wonderful winter wedding celebration! 

She's Russian, He's South African...

and they met in the Seychelles!

I haven't blogged in quite some time and have so much to share!  Not going into all the boring details of why I have been so quiet on my blog (life happens)  but I have posted little updates on my facebook page over the last couple of months, so if you want to know what I have been posting, go have a look.

Christiaan and Alena's wedding was probably one of my favourite weddings this past season.  The decor was elegant, the setting was gorgeous, there were both Russian (vodka) and South African (biltong) elements represented, Alena is so beautiful and Christiaan looked fantastic, but what it came down to for me was the amazing vibe at this wedding.  There were so many moments, so much fun, so much laughter and I loved every minute of being there.  Tatiana played some authentic Russian games with the couple and some of the guests. She acted like a proper games show host!  

Thank you for trusting me 100% with photographing your wedding.  I cannot tell you how inspiring that is for me as a photographer to know that my clients love what I do and trust me wholeheartedly.  

Mr & Mrs Mitchell, Fraaigelegen

Carmen and Willem @ Kleinevalleij

I could not post this any other way than to tell the story of Carmen and Willem's day.  It was filled with so many moments! It was very clear to see that where ever these two go, they touch people's lives.  Loved being a part of this pretty wedding! Thanks also to Alitha van Niekerk for being my right hand on the day - you never dissapoint, my friend.  

Michanne and Vivian Married @ Delsma Farm

This was a wonderful wedding, filled with joy!  I'm so lucky I got to be a part of it.  It was a wonderful experience to be part of the planning and in the process I also gained a friend!  Wishing the two of you a blessed life together!

The Eksteens plus one

Congratulations Bertus and Sally  with the birth of  baby Ashton! Was so wonderful to photograph these four.  Can't imagine Bertus and Sally without Luka and Annabelle.  We had a beautiful evening on the beach, some lovely light and the 2 kids on all fours really working their magic.  :)  Regtig lekker om julle terug in die Kaap te hê!

Riana's Bridals

Riana looked absolutely amazing on her wedding day!  Really just gorgeous.  Here is a preview of her bridal portraits in the meantime.

Anderson Family

Craig, Serma and Gemma were SO much fun!  Had a blast shooting this family and we all ended up getting super wet, but definitely worth it!  Here are just some of my favourites of the day.

Cliff and Sonet's Wedding @ Watervliet, Stellenbosch

An amazing wedding at a gorgeous setting with beautiful moments a lovely couple and four seasons in one day! Cliff and Sonet it was wonderful to be a part of your special day and I wish you all the happiness in the world!

 

Candice and Darren married @ Simon's Groot Constantia

It was a stormy day in Constantia when Candice and Darren tied the knot.  Candice is the most bubbly, positive person I have ever met and with a whole couple of things not going quite according to plan, including the rain, she just took everything in her stride.  What an amazing girl!  What I loved about this wedding, was that it was a truly joyous celebration.  When the music started, everyone was on the dance floor, and I mean EVERYONE.  Young and old all partying the night away.  I loved it.  And then of course there was Candice's dress...!

Karin and Herman's Wedding!

I get to meet such amazing people!  Karin and Herman is just a lovely couple, so relaxed, so great together and it was such a privilege to be part of their special day.  You can check out their engagement shoot which was recently featured on the Cap Classique Wedding Blog here (it is one of my favourite e-sessions!).  Also, Lizel from Visual Eye Productions did an amazing job with their video - click on this link to see the preview!

Sonja and Willie's Karoo Wedding!

There are so many things I loved about this wedding. Sonja and Madri, one of her best friends and bridesmaids, designed and made Sonja’s gorgeous dress together.  How’s that for talented!  They got married on Willie’s family’s farm, Elandsfontein, and the décor from Leengoed, looked absolutely amazing.  This was also the first wedding my husband assisted me J  and he was just fantastic.  I am so blessed!  We had a wonderful time, and this was a day just overflowing with emotion, happiness and beautiful little details.  We also ended up having four seasons in one day, rain, wind, some sunshine, dark clouds, some blue skies and that is why I love this first picture so much.  We were literally driving out from beneath a dark cloud after the ceremony on our way to Elandsfontein!

Bridal Portraits - JP Uys Wedding Workshop

Earlier in September I was fortunate enough to attend JP Uys' wedding workshop.  I have been a fan of JP's work ever since I can remember and was super exited to learn from him.  It was 2 days of pure inspiration and encouragement from JP.  Bonus was meeting and getting to know some tremendous photographers and leaving with a few more friendships.  A truly wonderful & inspirational experience!

Make-up was done by Helga and her team.
Dresses : Robyn Roberts
Venue : Vrede en Lust

Mia & Endri's Wedding @ Zevenwacht Estate

I met Mia in the hallways of Nerina (many years ago...) when we were in res together at university.  We lost contact through the years but how awesome for me to be able to photograph Mia and Endri's wedding!  Mia knew me as "Adri van Niekerk" (my maiden name) and I think at about the 2nd or 3rd email, we actually realised who the other one was - so funny.   It was a wonderful day, got to know Endri in the process as well, who is an awesome guy, reconnected with an old friend and had a blast!  Thanks to Alitha from Lensflair Photography for doing an awesome job on the second shooting!

Mr & Mrs Berry!

Sam and Warren got married at Kelvin Grove this September and it was a true celebration.  The two of  them, better known as "Team Berry" to friends, are just an amazing couple that have so much love and care for everyone around them.  May your love for each other and for God continue to grow and you be blessed as you are a blessing to others.
