Magical Moments

 

Oh my word! Where to begin & how to choose the favourite moments?!

I felt like an absolute Princess marrying my Prince Charming on wat was an emotional and most memorable day & weekend spent with our families at a really special venue Du Kloof Lodge.

It was an intimate wedding with a total of 10 guests and every single person played a special role in making it amazing!!

My best friend & wedding co-ordinator Deon Visaggio from Exclusive Venues stood by me from the start and handled everything!

Lelanie Strydom from Snowdrops helped me secure the most beautiful wedding dress!

Carli Coetzee from Scissors on Main transformed me into a princess with her magic wand when it came to the makeup and hair!

Chantelle from Riestra Custom Products did my wedding gifts.

And then ofcourse Jolanda Meyer from Jolanda Meyer Photography captured all these amazing moments and emotions for us to cherish forever!

One such moment was captured by Jolanda when I stood accross from De Wit in the chapel.... everything until then still felt surreal!

A very emotional moment was when Jordan, who doesn't do the limelight... stood up and spoke the most beautiful words during the reception. I litterally snikked snot & trane!!

On a lighter note I can definately say the photos taken in the water stands out as they were so unique and loads of fun! My hubby did always say he was going to dunk me in the water with my dress when we wed!!

The Honeymoon

 

Unfortunately we had to cancel our honeymoon in Singapore due to the Covid-19 epidemic so no honeymoon has been had.

My Special Day

A picture speaks a 1000 words!

The Venue

Du Kloof Lodge, Rawsonville has the most quaint chapel and the lodge itself boasts beautiful rooms.
Niki Louw and her team handled the reservations and we were honestly treated like family!
Everyone stayed for the weekend!
It was so special to be able to share every moment with our families there, especially on the Sunday morning when we all met for a champagne breakfast & goodbyes!
Little did we know it would be the last time we see them as shortly thereafter Covid-19 hit!!
