“Marry Me”…on a roof?

Stefan — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:14:20 +0000

Rene & Martine will be getting married next weekend in Elgin at Mofam River Lodge.� These two love the outdoors, so they opted for a wedding with a difference.� There will be some surprises…� I can’t let the cat out of the bag now, but keep your eye on the blog for their wedding photo post around the 18th of November.

It seems like Rene likes the surprise element.� He popped the question to Martine in quite an unusual manner.�� Rene organised for a helicopter to pick them up at Buitenverwachting Wine Estate and then fly over their house in Hout Bay.� There, without the knowledge of Martine, he painted “Marry Me” on the roof of their house!� So, for their pre-wedding shoot, we returned to Buitenverwachting, a place that is very close to their hearts.

Dieu Donne Restaurant - Taryn & Lance

Stefan — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:48:19 +0000

WOW!� Taryn, you made my week!� I soooo enjoyed editing your wedding, that I lost track of time.�� Lance, you married one of the most beautiful and sensual woman that I have shot thus far!

Lance & Taryn got married at the quaint St George’s Anglican church near Franschhoek and then hosted their reception at Dieu Donne Restaurant in Franschhoek - perfect conditions - perfect couple - what more can you ask for!

Taryn & Lance’s preps happened at Le Franschhoek Hotel & Spa, just outside Franschhoek.� This hotel has the most spacious and airy free standing cottages set between and enclave of mountains and vineyards.

Lance and the boys got ready in another cottage, also at Le Franschhoek.�� Lance is the distributor of a leading surfing gear and clothing label - being in that industry, he spends more time in the water than in a suit - but I must say he looked very handsome in that three piece - I think Taryn might get you to dress up a bit more after this bout!

Dieu Donne Restaurant is the perfect romantic setting with spectacular views over the Franschhoek Valley.� It can cater for weddings of up to 140 guests.

Field of dreams!

Stefan — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:28:30 +0000

This must be the most stylish and fresh “Plaas troues” I have seen recently.�� Some people just have the knack for pulling it off.� Paula is one of them.� She is a true “Boere meisie” with a lot of flair!� Paula and Ernie got married at her beautiful guest house in Douglas.� Taking that this town has little over 3000 residents, I am very impressed with the quality of wedding staged!� The Northern Cape rocks!� Makes one want to be a Boer hey….!

See Paula & Ernie’s E-session done on the beach at Camps Bay.

“Although it was a bit of a trek to get to Douglas from Cape Town, It was well worth it” says Andre.� I think this is one of the best weddings he has shot for ZaraZoo!

“Vintage” was the theme of the day.� Guests were asked to dress up in 1920 style and the decor also had this classic touch.� There was so much detail to shoot - what a feast.�� The day nearly had a disastrous turn when the two donkeys pulling Paula and the bridesmaids decided they had enough of being reigned.�� Like true escape artists, they wriggled themselves loose from the halters.� It left the donkey cart tumbling backwards!� Luckily no one got hurt - These donkey escapades will probably be talked about for years!� Hehehehe.

The wedding took place on the grounds of Paula’s Guest House, Villiera,� just outside Douglas.� The couple photos was taken in the wheat fields of Ernie’s farm.
