It was a beautiful day…  And the bride and groom even more so!

Garth and Karien tied the knot in Brooklyn, Pretoria.  Garth and his groomsmen looked absolutely dashing and  Karien’s bridesmaids just as beautiful!

Karien stole the show though!  Her dress was incredibly elegant and she glowed on her special day…

The atmosphere was casual and everybody felt relaxed.  It was such a fun wedding!  I had a great time!  Here’s what happened:)

Stylish…classic…elegant…

Just some of the words that came to mind when I edited these images of Lawrence and Noma.  I could feel love and passion these two have for each other.  No, I didn’t photograph their wedding, instead my trusted and highly talented assistant, Wayne, had the privilege to share their perfect day…..well done buddy, you make me proud.

Lawrence and Noma….you both looked beautiful and radiant.

Enjoy these few images.

    Petrus - Thanks Vuyo, you did a wonderful job yourself!

I did Tiaan & Nadia’s e-session a few weeks ago, and I soon realized that this couple’s wedding is going to be a blast!

And so it was!  Avianto will never be the same…

When I think of words to describe the day I immediately think  ‘Awesome’!  A beautiful couple, inside and out!

I had so much fun!  Nadia looked absolutely amazing and Tiaan was just as dashing.  The details were breathtaking and there were so many special moments during this day…  Here are a few photies…

The beautiful skies and surroundings only complimented the stunning bride and handsome groom.

There was this amazing, traditional African vibe, yet it was classy and sophisticated at the same time.

Enjoy having a look at the photos of this beautiful couple’s special day…

It was a perfect day outside of Krugersdorp at the amazing Makiti Estate. To think that just a little while back I photographed this beautiful couple for their E-session and now they were walking down the aisle.  The service and reception was absolutely beautiful and stunningly decorated. The family & friends were such a fun bunch. Everybody was dressed gorgeously. Wiehan and Roux-Maryn looked hot-stuff and were so in love and happy. Congratulations you guys!

On this beautiful day, the 16th of March at the pristine Pretoria Woodlands Game Lodge, Ross & Kerry made their eternal promise of companionship.

A while ago I photographed Ross’s sister’s wedding, Andrea & Shaun, so it was great to see them all again. The Lodge had a magical feel to it, untouched fields and a great reception area.

It was a happy & joy-filled day! Congratulations Bunny & Bunny-Lion! May the rest of your lives be just as magical as your wedding day!
