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.

My cousin and her husbands big big day! How beautiful!
n Ware liefde storie ken geen einde nie!
Today I am blogging my beautiful cousin Zelmarie’s wedding to Riaan. They are such an amazing couple and I just loved being a part of their big day. They got married on our family farm and get this, the ceremony was smack bang in the middle of a fairway. Family & friends, gorgeous light, a stunning see through marquee and beautiful flowers made this wedding absolutely breathtaking.

It is wonderful to blog this shoot, it was shot in early February, with my favourite camera, my Contax 645 film camera #nodigital. After my workshop I decided that I had to shoot something for me, something good & simple. This shoot was inspired by things I found around my house and with people who I create with often. Thank you to Jana, Jolindi & Leandri for all your help on this shoot!

RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 2
The first Rensche Mari workshop for 2016 was the Retreat at Bordeaux Game Farm.
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!
