Getting ready with my bridesmaids and my mother was very special and the buildup of excitement was tangible the whole day. The whole day was unbelievable everything we wanted but my favourite moment was when the doors opened and I started my walk down the aisle and I could see the look on my partners face. Our first dance was also a moment to remember, felt like a fairy tale.

The best photographer in the country- Stella Uys, her photos are breathtakingly beautiful and the best Ive ever seen.
