✨ The 2026/2027 wedding season started with a BANG. ✨

What a weekend. Three days, two pre-wedding shoots, our first wedding of the new season — and over 460 km and 7 hours of travelling between locations. 🚗💨

Friday: We kicked things off with Kayla & Jade at Le Pommier, capturing some golden-hour magic for their pre-wedding shoot. We first met these two at a friend’s wedding last October, so getting to spend time with them again felt a little like catching up with old friends. And honestly, that’s one of the things we love most about these sessions — getting to know our couples beyond the wedding day and creating space for genuine, relaxed moments together. ✨

Saturday: Our first wedding of the season! 🥂

While we can't share images from the day as our couple chose to keep their wedding private, we can say this: our bride was an absolute vision, and the day delivered some spectacular skies. ☁️

The clouds rolled in and threatened to bring rain, but somehow the weather held off just long enough for us to complete their portraits before the rain finally arrived. Perfect timing. 🤍

Sunday: We headed to Suné & Hendrik’s family farm outside Riebeek Kasteel for their pre-wedding shoot ahead of their March 2027 wedding.

Canola fields in full bloom. Orange orchards. Dramatic clouds. Mountain views. Scattered rain showers. And, perhaps most special of all, a canola field planted by Hendrik himself. 🌼

Our couples really do take us to the most incredible places — and we feel incredibly lucky to document these little chapters of their stories along the way.

460+ km. 7 hours on the road. 3 unforgettable days. And the first weekend of a brand-new wedding season. 🤍

The 2026/2027 season is officially underway, and if this weekend is anything to go by… we're in for one beautiful year. 🥂✨

Giving 1000% 📸✨

Sometimes getting the perfect shot means climbing onto chairs, stretching a little further, and looking at the room from a completely different perspective.

Because those beautiful overhead images of your reception décor don't happen by accident—they're captured with intention, creativity, and just a touch of balancing skills. 😄

Every candle, every floral arrangement, every place setting... all the details you've spent months planning deserve to be remembered beautifully.

✨ Tips Tuesday | Don't Skip the Veil!

Your wedding veil is so much more than a beautiful accessory—it's one of the most versatile details for creating timeless, romantic photographs.

A classic veil shot adds movement, softness, and elegance, turning an already beautiful portrait into something truly cinematic. Whether it's gently flowing in the wind, wrapped around the two of you, or catching the golden sunset light, your veil helps create those iconic wedding images you'll treasure forever.

💍 Our Tip: Even if you're unsure about wearing a veil during the ceremony, consider having one available for your couple portraits. A simple fingertip or cathedral veil can make all the difference and create some of the most breathtaking images from your wedding day.

📸 Swipe to see why the classic veil shot will never go out of style.

✨ Planning your wedding? We'd love to capture moments like these.

Some love stories don't just cross paths—they cross continents.

Debi & Craig travelled all the way from Switzerland to celebrate one of life's greatest moments in the heart of South Africa. Surrounded by the breathtaking rock formations and untouched wilderness of Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve, they chose an intimate elopement that was deeply personal, adventurous, and centred on what mattered most.

Their family.

One of the most beautiful parts of the day wasn't just the incredible scenery—it was sharing every moment with their two wonderful twins. Watching them witness their parents exchange vows, laugh together beneath the African sky, and explore this extraordinary landscape reminded us that weddings aren't simply about saying "I do." They're about celebrating the family you've already built and the journey still to come.

Planning a destination wedding from Switzerland meant months of conversations across time zones, trusting a team they'd never met in person, and believing that every detail would come together perfectly. It was a privilege to help bring that dream to life.

As the sun dipped behind the ancient sandstone formations, the landscape glowed with the most incredible golden light. Every photograph and every frame became part of a story that their family will treasure for generations.

Debi & Craig, thank you for placing your trust in us and allowing us to capture such an intimate chapter of your lives. It was an honour to witness your love, your laughter, and the beautiful bond you share as a family.

We wish the four of you a lifetime filled with adventure, happiness, and unforgettable memories together.
