Wedding | Constantia Uitsig | Leon & Hayley

Leon & Hayley decided to tie the knot on the day the whole world celebrates love… Valentines Day. Leon & Hayley got married at Contanstia Uitsig and their reception was held at the lovely La Colombe Restaurant. From getting ready to the first dance; there was so many wonderful moments in these set of images to sum up the story of their wedding day. One of my personal favorite images is a panoramic shot of the couple with the beautiful mountain and vineyard in the background. Here are some of the images I’ve selected to tell their story.

Wedding | Forest Hall Estate | Grant & Kelly | Part I

Hope you guys are ready for beautiful set of images, because I really could not make up my mind which ones to choose. Remember Grant & Kelly from their themed couple shoot in the city? Well today I’ll be sharing their beautiful wedding that took place at Forest Hall Estate, near Natures Valley. This is part 1 of two posts.

Grant & Kelly decided on the beautiful Forest Hall Estate to celebrate their wedding day. Forest Hall Manor was built in 1862 and it is also an South African National Monument. I love the beautiful murals paintings of the crags in the entrance hall as you enter the Manor House. Kerry got ready inside beautiful main bedroom.  Their beautiful ceremony area was set up in the forest area next to the manor house with umbrellas hanging from branches. As Kelly walked down the path way to the ceremony, a beautiful conversation recording of her (when she was a little girl) and her father was played accompanied by beautiful dramatic music. It was raining so hard during the start of the ceremony that it was shifted to Manor House where there were more cover for the guest. The pre-drinks was held at the pool area of the estate. Here is the first part of this beautiful wedding photographs. Click here to view Part II or the photos from their couple shoot. Service Providers are listed at the bottom of the post.

Wedding | Forest Hall Estate | Grant & Kelly | Part II

Here is part two of Grant & Kelly’s beautiful wedding day at Forest Hall Estate. Before their wedding day, Grant  & Kelly send me a few of their favorite Ralph Lauren ads on YouTube to give me a feeling what they wanted. The weather permitted us to photograph the couple and bridal party without being disrupted with rain again.  I just received my 5D Mark III camera body before shooting this wedding, so it was really a great opportunity to to take it for a test drive (especially in low light). Three of my favorite images: 1) B&W Panoramic cropped photo with bridal party walking on the lawn. 2) The styled group photo of the bridal party in front of a dead tree. 3) Low light photo below of the couple in the forest in front of a pond.

The reception provided more wonderful moments as guests started to warm up inside and enjoy the party.

Grant & Kelly, thank you so much for the opportunity to shoot your wedding. Also a big thank you for my wife, Zani, for accompanying me and help me capture the wedding. The final chapter of their photographs ends here. Enjoy the rest of the post. Click here to view PART I of the post or to view their COUPLE SESSION in the city.
