Gideon & Natasha’s Wedding in Citrusdal

Du Wayne — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:14:55 +0000

Friends of mine, Gideon & Natasha, celebrated their wedding day at Hebron in the beautiful town of Citrusdal. Natasha is a trained Opera singer and she wanted her dress to reflect the costumes worn in Opera. She had a beautiful sheaf of grain as her bouquet. During the end of the couple session my car got stuck in the sand on one of the farms. My reaction to the whole situation was the following: “O.K., we are going to continue with the couple session while the farmer gets the bakkie (truck) to pull us out.” Within a few few minutes we were out and on our way to the reception. It was amazing to see how their friends, family and their church worked together to make this wedding an unforgetable experience for them. From making the food to decorating the tables; everyone did something. Thank you so much Gideon & Natasha. It was is always a great pleasure photographing a friends wedding. Have a blessed married life! Without further ado, here are their wedding pictures.

Chris & Caroline’s Wedding at Webersburg

Du Wayne — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:13:54 +0000

Chris and Caroline got married on a beautiful warm day at the Webersburg just outside Stellenbosch. Caroline’s simplistic, yet elegant dress made her look so beautiful. There were so many amazing spots inside the manor house to photograph some awesome shot of her before. Her sister, Nicola Webster, is also a wedding photographer Dublin, Ireland. Her photography work is beautiful. Chris and Caroline released two tied balloons in the ceremony (instead of two doves) to represent their love for each other. After signing the register, they were first showered with rose petals from top window in Manor House and then showered by the guests. I loved photographing their couple shots along the line of trees creating depth of field and playing with lines. The rest of the evening were enjoyed under a marque on the patio with great food, wine and laughter. Chris & Caroline, thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your wedding. I could truly see the love that you have for each other when I look at the picture. Here are some of my favorite moments from their wedding day. This is one of the wedding that I will always cherish from this year’s season. Enjoy.

Dave & Sarah’s Wedding at 12 Apostles Hotel

Du Wayne — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:31:15 +0000

Dave and Sarah got married at the 12 Apostles Hotel & Spa just outside Camps Bay. On their wedding day it was raining cats and dogs. It almost looked like the ceremony would be held inside the hotel, but at the last moment the sky opened up and everything was quickly set-up for the outdoor ceremony. I was so glad for Sarah, because she really wanted to have the wedding outside on the lawn. Dave bough a beautiful cane for their wedding day which I loved to photograph. I love the touch of green in the flower arrangements and the beautiful orchids on each plate. Guest were entertained by the groovy sounds of Breakfast Included Jazz band during the reception. Enjoy the following shots that I have selected to portray their beautiful day.
