STAY BY INIMITABLE | WEDDING VENUE
A new stunning wedding venue by Inimitable. Stay by Inimitable is an escape from the city.
Last year, I was shooting a wedding for Zavion and stayed over at Inimitable. The next morning, Zavion took me to a new space he was developing. I arrived at a site that was just starting to take shape—heaps of ground, foundations going in, the beginnings of something truly massive. As Zavion shared his vision for this space, I felt my heart race with excitement. This incredible human has a gift for turning everything he touches to gold. I saw the site once more before it was completed and was shocked at how quickly it was transforming. Fast forward a few months, and here I was, stepping into the reality of what was once just a dream.
When I arrived at Stay by Inimitable, I knew I was stepping into a beautiful space, but I wasn’t prepared for how truly awe-inspiring it would be. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the seamless blend of elegance and modern design. For anyone seeking a wedding venue that combines luxury with simplicity, Stay by Inimitable offers something truly unique.
Zavion’s talent for interior design truly stands apart. Stepping into Stay by Inimitable feels like arriving at a five-star resort, with every detail crafted to delight the eye around every corner. Honestly, if I could take it all home with me, I would!
“The architecture immediately caught my eye. It is striking”
The architecture immediately caught my eye. It is striking —clean lines, open spaces, and every detail so meticulously crafted. As a photographer, I’m constantly on the lookout for spaces that capture light beautifully, and this venue does just that. Natural light flows through every corner, making each room feel bright, inviting, and full of life. Every part of the space serves as the perfect canvas, capturing a balance between sophistication and warmth that’s hard to come by.

But beyond the aesthetics, the team at Stay by Inimitable is something special. Working with them always feels like coming home to a loving family. They bring passion and precision to everything they do, creating an experience that’s as welcoming as it is seamless. I could see that this venue isn’t just a place to get married—it’s a space designed for celebrations that will be cherished forever.
Just a short drive from the city, this venue feels worlds away, offering an intimate escape surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty. For anyone dreaming of a wedding that’s as stunning as it is stylish, I truly can’t imagine a better backdrop than Stay by Inimitable.
To explore this breathtaking venue yourself, I encourage you to visit Stay by Inimitable and see what makes it so exceptional.
CLASSIC BLACK TIE WEDDING

BLACK & WHITE WEDDING SPECTACULAR
This was possibly one of the most spectacular things I saw in 2020, just before lockdown hit I had the amazing opportunity to shoot for my friends, the Zavion Kotze Events Company. They took everyone’s breath away with this black and white wedding decor setup at The Four Seasons West Cliff in Johannesburg.
I have to confess that since the start of lockdown it been so difficult and depressing to blog, because our industry felt so hopeless. Now as things are starting to pick up again, I am taking a little throwback to when the world was a different place. This is just a sneak peak of the beautiful post-wedding reception from 2020 pre-lockdown, and it is one of those events that gets you all excited about being creative.
Fudhail & Humaira celebrated their union at The Four Seasons in Westcliff Johannesburg and the epic planning and styling was done by none other than the Zavion Kotze Events team. The theme was black & white, like you have never seen before.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND FLOWER WORKSHOP
After lockdown the best thing to do is to be creative the moment an opportunity arrives. This is exactly what Zavion and I did when we started to plan the second ZK flowerschool and Rensche Mari wedding photography workshop.
I had so much fun shooting this beautiful setup by an amazing team of creatives. This was for the ZK Flower school and Rensche Mari Wedding Photography workshop back in September. After lockdown was eased, this was a breath of fresh air.

ZAVION KOTZE EVENTS | INIMITABLE
A Elegant green & white summer wedding at Inimitable styled & planned by Zavion Kotze Events.
The thing I like most about a wedding is; when you can actually see couples having fun and enjoying their big day. Tyrone & Michelle definitely had a great time, they were so sweet and they looked absolutely stunning in their wedding attire.
This wedding was at a place where I always have a lot of fun, Inimitable Wedding Venue. And once again the Zavion Kotze Events team did such an amazing job with this wedding. I love that it is always so relaxed and easy to be around these wonderful people.
MULDERSDRIFT | ZAVION KOTZE EVENTS
It was a beautiful day that became breathtaking after a December afternoon thunder shower. In my 14 years as a wedding photographer, I have never seen a sunset quite like this one. Inimitable Wedding Venue in Muldersdrift will surely bring us many more of these spectacular sunsets, so excited to be shooting here!
This was the Portuguese and Greek wedding of Roxanne and Angelo! This couple is definitely setting a trend, a fusion of classic and metro fashion. Roxanne looked elegant in her classic wedding gown with her long hair flowing down her neck and the bridesmaids complimented her beautifully, Angelo looked dashing in black tie with a Pompadour haircut that not many men can pull off.

I loved the couple’s lifesize floral initials at the canapé area. The Zavion Kotze Events team decorated the venue with subtle touches of rose gold, beautiful greenery,white florals and a lush hanging arrangement. The cherry on top; amazing food by Andrew Draper and the captivating and enjoyable experience at end of the evening with Greek dances; there is always so much emotion going around and crockery-bits flying next to your face ;) Scroll down to enjoy this beautiful event!

Cherése wore a gown by the talented Gert Johan Coetzee, the dress fit like a glove and came with a 8 meter long vail, her posh ponytail completed her look and I even thought she might look a little like Khaleesi from Game of thrones, do you agree?
And the cherry on top? Well it was my first wedding at Inimitable Wedding Venue (after it was finished). If you are on the look out for a stunning backdrop with great service and food, this is the place to be!
