Claire & Graeme

How did you meet; where did the magic begin?

We met at a friend’s braai. Claire was wearing a hoody that was way too big for her (totally adorable), and we immediately bonded over music and bands

Tell us about the proposal

Graeme proposed in a flower shop (Kabloom) and arranged for framed photos of us to be placed around the store and had a few bouquets specially made. The champagne was waiting for us in the back (in the rose fridge). There were flowers everywhere - so it was really beautiful and unique.

Why and how did you decide on an engagement shoot? Did you specifically book it or is it an extra offered to you when you booked your photographer?

We wanted an opportunity to get to know our photographers and have a practice round for the Wedding shoot (to break the ice!). We also wanted some pictures to use for our Save the Dates and Invitations. We specifically requested an Engagement shoot and luckily, it was offered as part of the package from our photographers.

Where did you shoot your engagement shoot and how is the location linked to you?

We shot it at Gold Reef City. We wanted it to be a little different and a lot of fun - just like us.

What is the theme of your engagement shoot or what is it inspired by?

Fun, fun, fun. We didn’t want it to be too serious, we preferred something more playful and unique.

Who chose your ring?

Graeme did, with some help from Claire’s Pinterest boards.

Are you making use of a wedding planner or are you planning your wedding all on your own?

We are planning our own wedding, with lots of help from friends and family

Can you give us a little sneak peak of what you are planning for your wedding?

We’re aiming to throw the party of the year. It’s an out of town wedding - set in a beautiful location with the ceremony taking place in a forest. Hopefully it will be magic.
