KWAGGA & ILKE SMITH | WEDDING

My last wedding for 2017 was at one of my favourite wedding venues (or should I just be completely honest and say; MY FAVOURITE VENUE). This place is magic, from the reception hall all the way to the honeymoon suite. The following wedding is also out in the SARIE Magazine this month.

And what better way to end it than with a highschool-sweetheart couple? Ilke & Kwagga tied the knot at Bordeaux Game Farm in Limpopo. It was the right in the middle of summer, but this day was absolutely perfect, even though it was hot, there was a light breeze to cool you down. Close family and friends joined in this celebration and one of my highlights was the ceremony, it was under a big beautiful Mopanie tree in an open field!

Continue from Part 1

I loved the group of girls I got to teach and hope that I will be able to do this again soon. To every person who helped with this workshop, thank you. It is wonderful to do what you love!

A very big thank you to Eve, from Splendid Wedding Company, you are a wonderful friend and artist - this was the 3rd workshop where you styled the tables for the styled shoot and I just have to say that every time you do something it WOW's me! I am so happy that you are my friend, and that I get to talk to you every single day :D

Jana, from Silver Swallow, thank you for the touch of elegant flow you bring to my workshop every single year...I'm counting and we have worked together now for 5 years, since the first workshop. Every time you create a garment I just want to photograph it - over and over again. This dress was photographed again after the workshop and I look forward to sharing that too!

Thank you to Seline from Es by Seline for the cake, Chrystalace for stationery and the lovely Aurette for modeling for us and Ida from Pink Scissors for Hair & Makeup and last but certainly not the least, Schantel from Kiekie Kit for sponsoring a beautiful camera bag & strap, it is a blessing to have you at the workshop yet again!

And just when you thought this was the last of it, we did a little noon shoot with Leandri :D where I showed the photographers how to shoot when the sun is high. Thank you Leandri, you are a dream model :D

RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 1

The first Rensche Mari Workshop was held at Bordeaux Game farm, a 4 day retreat with a lot of photo sessions and learning all about Wedding Photography.

Putting together a workshop is hard work, but having a great team to help is always amazing! My 2016 Rensche Mari Wedding workshop held at Bordeaux Game Farm was a great experience and wonderful week spent with creatives from all over. I hope they wont mind if I have the next one here again.

A couple of thank you's will follow throughout the post! If your wedding is coming up and you want to have a marvellous experience you will definitely need professionals like these;

The Bordeaux Game Farm Venue and Team...Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Each person had such a blast and was spoilt rotten with the gourmet food from the kitchen during our stay and we could not have asked for better service, food and backdrop! You are my favourite venue by far!

To Jolindi from Chrystalace, for helping to fill up the goodie bags with wonderful things and stationery for each photographer - they loved it, so did I!

To Sone & Hermann, for letting 8 photographers stand around you and photograph you, the camera loves you!
