e-shoot: Samantha + Elroy

One lovey-dovey couple.  One gem of a private beach. One happy photographer! Although their wedding is only planned for April 2016, I can't wait: a rustic garden party with a forest photo-shoot... bring it on... so much excitement.

Mari + Hennie {11 April 2015}

I love weddings; that's no secret - all that prettiness and love is hard to resist.  But my favourite part of the day has to be the vows and speeches: its then that you see beyond the "pretty" and get a glimpse of the couple's hearts.  This wedding is then by far, the most beautiful that I have ever experienced.  Mari is truly gorgeous, inside and out.  The love that this couple have for each other, for their friends, for life... it was such an honour to share their day with them. 

A special mention: the jewelry (pendants, cufflinks and bride's hair pins) were all made by the bride herself!  And if she wasn't busy enough with that, she and the groom hand-made wooden boards for each guest as a thank-you gift.  Just more evidence of the love they have for their friends!
