NELSPRUIT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I am so honoured to be able to photograph Hilma and Inge’s journey, starting with their engagement session, photographed in Nelspruit, at a wildlife reserve with a lucky couple of shots with the zebra’s roaming in the area. I also got to photograph Hilma’s two sweet Wirehaired Fox Terriers with the cutest little bowties. Their wedding day will follow in July by the sea. So much to look forward too.
If you have been following my blog, you will know I have a very big family whom I get to photograph very often. Here is Inge and Hilma’s engagement session. Inge is Anje’s sister and my fathers’ cousins’ daughter (my cousin twice removed?). Not sure what we call each other in english terms but we are family!

LOWVELD GREEN & PURPLE WEDDING
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.

This is a very fresh, stunning and energising wedding, shot on a private farm, with a ceremony held in a airconditioned green house and the reception in a beautiful barn. Planned and styled by the absolutely amazing Marius from Weddings by Marius. The colours make me think of Christmas...in Africa of course!
I don't want you to love me because I'm good for you, because I say and do all the right things, because I am everything you have been looking for...
I want to be the one you didn't see coming. The one who gets under your skin. Who makes you unsteady. Who makes you question everything you have ever believed about love. I want to be the one who makes you feel reckless and out of control; the one you are infuriatingly and inexplicably drawn to.
I don't want to be the one who tucks you into bed; I want to be the reason you can't sleep at night.
~ Lang Leav

I wish I could explain your eyes, and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies. How your smile makes my heart skip a beat and how every time I'm with you, I feel so complete.

My beautiful cousin, Marné and Luan got married on our family farm in October. It was a beautiful day in the Lowveld and it is always nice visiting the farm.
Marné and her 3 sisters grew up on the farm, they call it their childhood home and this was the 3rd wedding on the farm I attended, how privilaged to start your new life with your new husband in a place you hold dear! We hope to have many more special celebrations here (hopefully a venue one day...soon)

I am very privileged to have photograph Minette & Stephen's wedding in October. Minette has been one of my friends since the age of 14 and I can honestly say that I have never had a dull moment with her. I loved being a part of this wedding (I was a bridesmaid too), it was the most fun I have ever had at a wedding.
I think one of my favourite feelings is laughing with someone and realising half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence.

If your eye manages to catch those beautiful life size paper roses below, they were made by Minette's mother, Ronel. I have added her details at the creative team info, they are spectacular and really make an amazing impression.
