“It is a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.” – Beau Taplin
Where do I start with this incredible wedding? A morning ceremony on their family farm, followed by a picnic, game drives, an amazing sunset shoot, me facing my fear of heights, on a skyscraper (ok, not a “skyscraper”, but it might as well have been) and one of the most impressive receptions I have ever seen. Bonfires, vintage teacups, hand painted skirts, biltong, coffee stands and a actual family tree. Like I said: An incredible wedding!!!
Karla’s family-farm was completely transformed into a wedding-playground. The day started with a beautiful, outdoor ceremony at Karla’s parents’ house. Overlooking their garden & a beautiful tree, which was literally transformed into a “Family Tree”. Photos of loved ones, proudly hanging from it’s branches. Guests could entertain themselves with lawn-games & an endless selections of food-stands, before heading on a sunset game drive.
As I’ve mentioned, our sunset shoot had me facing my fear of heights – but totally worth it! And wait till you see how this wedding party can celebrate & dance.
