Melissa and Jonty got married at the most famous hotel in Cape Town, The Mount Nelson. The weather in May is usually unpredictable in Cape Town, but on this particular day it was beautiful and sunny. The ceremony was held outside under a Chuppah (canopy). I had previously photographed Mel & Jonty’s E-session in Houtbay, so I knew how easy and relaxed they would be to photograph on their wedding day. I love doing Jewish weddings – they are so full of energy and everyone always seems to be on the dance floor when the music starts. There was such a build up to their wedding. They set up a website for family and guests with a little story of how they met, and the plans for the wedding. I think that was such a special touch, as it gave insight into their lives, which then meant that when i spent the day at the wedding, the experience was a more personal one. More and more couples are doing this and I really encourage it. The Knot offers a website for couples to easily set up info about their wedding day.
Mel & Jonty, thank you! I had such fun with you both. x
