Riani & Frits, Lanzerac, Stellenbosch

Monica Dart — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:42:47 +0000

Riani and Frits are both doctors – Riani is a physio and Frits is continuing his studies to become a plastic surgeon. A pretty cool match! Their ceremony took place in Franschhoek, and en-route to Lanzerac where the reception was held, we stopped off for some photo’s in a lavender field. Well another ‘doctor’ joined us for the shoot, the good old Cape doctor! Riani’s veil nearly took off several times, but we had a good laugh and it made for some great creative shots.

Firts absolutely loves fishing….so Riani agreed to go with him if he found her a pink fishing rod! Which he did….and that was the very cool idea behind their wedding cake! See below.

Riani and Frits – thanks for being so patient in the wind and being so easy-going on the day!

Carey & Gareth, Nooitgedacht, Stellenbosch

Nooitgedacht Estate is a beautiful venue, and it’s the first time i’ve had the privilege of shooting a wedding there. Royal Blu co-ordinators meticulously did the elegant decor – crystal lampshades, beautiful flowers, intimate lighting and the funkiest green and white striped dance floor. Carey and Gareth live in the UK, and I met them several months ago in CT to chat about their wedding day. They were so easy to photograph – happy to go along with anything that presented itself. The weather was awesome, and the sunlight over the orchard was incredible.

Lisa & Rob at Webersburg, Stellenbosch

This was such an awesome wedding! Held at stunning Webersburg in Stellenbosch and partly organised by The Aleit Group , Lisa and Rob were set to have an incredibly amazing day. I always get excited when it’s overcast at a wedding – it’s like shooting with my very own softbox – the light is soft and the sky often dramatic. Lisa was such a cool bride – I felt like I was attending a friends wedding! The music was fantastic – DJ’s Andre and Daryn from Goodtimes DJ’s kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Oh, and I have to mention the cupcakes…they were sent from heaven!

I absolutely LOVE these funky shoes!

Anna & Jonno at Clouds Estate, Stellenbosch

I met Anna and Jonno in London last year during the summer. They were both so excited about getting married at Clouds Estate in South Africa, especially since the wedding was going to be so intimate, with just close family and friends. The high-light of the wedding was when the Itheko African dancers appeared to the beat of the drums, to the delight of all the guests.
