Ahhh, Mareli & Grant. You are two truly genuinely special people. Some of you might remember their “silly romantic” Engagement session in Camps Bay. Even back then I just knew their wedding celebration will be like no other, which is exactly why I loved it so very much. It was overflowing with pure joy, which was the most remarkable thing that stood out for me from the entire day. Marisa (my assistant) & Ian from Vision on Fire noticed the very same thing I learned later that evening.
The setting was just perfect. Under the big Oak trees in Beloftebos near Stanford. The details and theme was based on Mareli & Grant’s experience in France, where Grant proposed on a ski slope. (pls make sure to check back for part II , where I’ll post more of that story :: you won’t regret.)
I loved the way Mareli & Grant’s personalities were truly 100% reflected in..EVERY last detail. From the paper planes flying during the reception (Grant is a pilot), Mareli’s dress (which weren’t exactly a dress, but a 2 piece), you’ll see for yourselves. It’s so Mareli. To the colourful decor and bridesmaid’s dresses which you’ll see more of in PartII to the cake. THE cake!! Loved, loved the cake – there were so many details to mention.
But for now, I hope you enjoy Part I of their celebration just as much as I did capturing it and even reliving that joy when I saw them on the screen weeks later.

Lieve lieverds. Deze beelden van een liefdevolle dag zullen altijd in mijn herinnering blijven. In Holland hebben wij geen Charlene; zij weet alles zo te laten zien, dat ook als je er niet bij bent geweest, zoals ik jammergenoeg, je intens mag genieten van het geluk van twee prachtige jonge mensen.
Chick die pics is wonderlik mooi. Ek wil sommer weer trou as ek hulle sien. Ek is so bly jy doen so goed…. from strenght to strength ek se !!!
ONGELOFLIK……two beautifull people , one beautifull couple. captured by an Artist!
Love you work
