Jess and Gideon | Coastline wedding, The House Planner

When you get blessed with a perfect day along our beautiful coastline in the Eastern Cape, you head for the beach. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, you unwind with sand between your toes and fresh hair through your hair. On a stunning Tuesday in September, Jess and Gideon and all their friends and family did exactly that + got married of course.
They couldn’t have found a more perfect spot for their intimate wedding.

Gideon and Jess, thank you once again for asking us join you in your celebrations, and for the honour to capture a chapter of your love story. Your love for one another is truly inspiring.

Tsitsikamma Lodge is surrounded by tall pine trees at the foot of a beautiful valley along South Africa’s Garden Route. Seugnét and Lucien love the outdoors and wanted a to tie the knot in a place that reflected that - We honestly believe they could not have chosen a better spot.

Their wedding was magical.

And we are so excited that they chose us to be part of their special day! These are the kind of weddings we love to document; intimate, unconventional and about what truly matters - love.

Oh did we mention their reception as on a rooftop!?! :D

We get to work with some really awesome couples as part of the adventure we call our job, and these two were no exception! We've met a few couples who have met in unconventional ways, but none quite as epic as first locking eyes at a metal concert.

Emma and Darryl flew down from their new home in Wales to make their vows on a not-quite-UK-cold winter's day here in the Eastern Cape.

It was an amazing to day to have been a part of! Awesome wool suits that would make an Englishman jealous, Emma looking gorgeous in white, and a father daughter dance that has set the new standard for cool... need we say more?

Thanks guys for trusting us with your memories!

“Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. If I were pressed to say why I loved him, I feel that my only reply could be: Because it was he, because it was I.” Michel de Montaigne

It would be impossible to talk about Karla without talking about her laugh. Raw, infectious and hilarious are words that come to mind. But what truly melted our hearts was how Sean looks at her when she's happy. Just take a scroll for yourselves and try not grin at these two amazing hooligans.

So we had a little afternoon outing with these two awesome folk, before they jetted off back to the UK. We wondered the streets of a near by neighbourhood, found some interesting spots to take a couple of shots and be a little silly, lost a phone, and had a drink to calm the nerves.

All in a days work with these two, never a dull moment. We ended up with a bunch of images that we are excited to share! Thanks Sean and Karla, for an awesome afternoon filled with laughter!

It’s amazing when you start photographing a wedding, and for some reason just feel so part of their day. We walked away thinking “what a cool couple” - Little did we know that both their families go way back with Jess’.

Every so often you get a wedding that you just love. The moments. The details. And the day itself. As we go through Ryan and Nicole's images, it's like there were stolen moment that we captured that speak so loud...we could try put these moments into words, but we'll let you live them for yourself.

Ever so often we get to document a wedding on a rainy day, but as we drove out to Wedgewood Estate we watched as the much needed rain faded away leaving the most beautiful sky behind in its place. And as luck would have it, a perfectly positioned rainbow.

When you get a mail quoting your favourite line from your favourite film, you realise that you have not choice but to be part of this celebrations.

The greatest thing you will ever learn,is just to love and be loved,in return.
