Hugo & Chantals wedding, Backsberg, Paarl

Love really can happen just about anywhere…and sometimes when you least expect it! Chantal and Hugo were married at Backsberg Estate Cellars the 17th October 2009 – a year to the day they met after a hike on Mount Kilmanjaro! What a place to meet -how incredible! The magic of life and love, is that every day is like an unopened gift (or as Forest Gumps mom says “like a box-a-chawwwwclates) – sometimes there’s something you’re going to unwrap and completely love, other times not. Chantal got ready at the vintage/country-style Simondium Country Lodge. There are so many nooks and crannies there, with unexpected finds – wire hearts, old milk jugs, rusty chairs…and a real peacock that made himself known! It was so awesome, I had to include a recording of it’s call: peacock.wav

The wedding was black tie, and the fresh white decor with elegant splashes of colour set the scene for the day. Friends and family enjoyed canapes and drinks on the lawn on a super sunny day while Chantal, Hugo and I snuck off to do the bridal photo’s.
