It is quite rare to meet someone with so many incredible qualities rolled into one.  When I met bubbly Rebecca I felt as if I was meeting up with an old friend.  Not only  radiant on the outside, but equally so on the inside.  She is one of the very few people i’ve met in my life that can make whoever is in her presence, feel important and special.  The way one person treats another and the positive energy which they carry around speaks volumes. As a photographer, it just makes the day that much more awesome.  Rebecca & Jacques met at a Rocking The Daisies concert and have been together ever since.

The day started off a little cloudy and by the afternoon the sun was out, warming up the large area where the wedding would take place.  Both the ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Rhebokskloof in Paarl.  This is the first time i’ve shot a wedding there and it’s a spectacular venue.  The ceremony took place next to the lake, and the reception was a black and purple baroque themed picnic.  Little ottomans were dotted across the lawn as well as picnic blankets, and each group was giving a picnic basket, drinks and champagne.  Goodluck, with a genre of ‘live-electronic-house’ music opened the dance ‘floor’, and everyone danced on the grass.  These guys were out of the world – I have never felt prouder to be South African – they rocked the place! I highly highly recommend booking them for your wedding – but you have to get in early!  They have gigs all over the place and have several international gigs lined up too.
