Sashe and Ayrton | Wedding 2017

We touched down in a sunny Johannesburg just in time to join the lovely Sashe and Ayrton for their pre-wedding, ceremony at their family church in the heart of the city. Their choice to honour their traditions was heartwarming and it was beautiful to witness the love that their union created within their families.

Sunday afternoon saw Sashe arriving at the little chapel at Oakfield Farm in true fairytale style, and as her father walked her down the isle there was not a dry eye in sight. Even though they had exchanged vows just a day before, it was amazing to see how they both struggled to contain their joy and excitement that their wedding day had finally arrived.

True love will never go out of fashion. And every time we are able to witness it we are grateful for the opportunity to document the very best part of what it means to be alive.

We have said it a few times, and we’ll say it again; there is something incredibly special about documenting the wedding of a couple you are close to. You get to experience each moment with such intimacy, and relive it over again as you edit the photos.

About a year ago we spent an afternoon alongside a little lake with these two lovely souls, where they filled us in on their plans for a fairytale wedding the coming April.

Their beautiful day was filled with an endless supply of bubbly, laughs, classy gentleman and some of the happiest bridesmaids we have ever encountered. Nothing was going to stand in the way of these two having the time of their lives.

Documenting real and genuine celebrations like this always has us feeling grateful and excited to share the story afterwards. But enough about our little ramble, here are some more pictures from Karlien and Daneel’s awesome celebration :)

We could waste words describing the details of this amazing couple’s day, but what remained with us afterwards was the memory of two incredible young people, deeply in love, and the friends and family that couldn’t be happier to join them in celebrating their union.

There was a palpable magic in the air as the Karoo sun rose in Nieu Bethesda that morning, and it left us in total awe of this beautiful couple and their amazing wedding day.

We truly love our job! We get to see people at their best; crying tears of happiness, laughing uncontrollably, and making life-changing promises to one another. It was almost two years ago when we were asked to document Travis and Tamlyn’s wedding and the day finally arrived.

When your day start with a bride walking down the stairs, drumsticks in hand to sound check with the band, you know you’re in for an awesome party!

Spending a weekend away in Nieu Bethesda on the outskirts of the Graaff-Reinet is always an absolute treat, and being able to capture Sarah and Wynand's intimate celebration, only added to our joy.

Choosing a quaint village in the middle of the Karoo might have seemed like a curious decision for a couple who fell in love sailing exotic coastlines, but under the beautiful forest canopy, you’d swear there could no place more perfect for these two!

"Home is home", this is something we always say to one another after a long trip, as we take our first step into our little flat- there is no place like it.

This afternoon is one of those days when we are so grateful to be able to share a taste of what we experienced, through these photographs.
