You’ll probably recognize this couple from my first workshop shoot. Nicola and Wynand are in the same church as me and on Tuesdays we get together with them and some other couples from our church for coffee and to chat about life. Through these get togethers I’ve gotten to know them and we’ve become close friends. They are such a fun and loving couple! It was such a privilege to shoot their wedding on Saturday! And not just any wedding. My 100th wedding!
The wedding was held in Wellington, where Nicola grew up and the reception was held on a stunning new venue Kleine Valleij. The reception area is super white and clean! No curtains or carpets. Just white! White floors & white ceiling! Stunning. It’s like a blank canvas. You can do anything you like with it! (A definite one to check out if you’re still looking for a venue.)
Not only was Nicola a super beautiful bride, but she also has a very good eye for detail and all the decor was just perfect! I love the old books and the French ribbon touch on the tables.
The week before the wedding she emailed me and asked if she could bring a chair as a “prop” for the photos. I love how it created different pose opportunities for the couple shots. We also had some fun with some “nerd glasses” :) Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it was so funny!
Thanks for being so much fun guys! I loved being a part of your special day! Also a very big thanks to my super awesome boyfriend iaan for carrying my bags on the day and shooting some awesome shots. Nr 27, 28 & 34 is iaan’s shots! Go iaan! Are you looking for a new job?? :)

Breathtakingly beautiful!! I love all the details and her dress and eyes are gorgeous! Beautiful couple! How cool that this particular wedding is your 100th wedding!! I love the food shots (you are so crazy good at this) and the B/W one of them kissing underneath the tree.
Dis die mooiste van die mooiste fotos…Weereens BAIE geluk julle twee, julle het ongelooflik mooi gelyk!! En Christine, jyt werklikwaar ‘n baie spesiale talent, koester dit!

weer = nico, jy lyk en is ware skoonheid!
Nig, daai diep-potblou-oseaan-groot ogies sou enige bruidegom laat snak na sy asem… en die fotograaf laat gryp na haar lens :)) Dit was ‘n pragtige dag & groot seen om dit te kon deel.. Baie geluk Wynola!! x
dis my FAVOURITE shoot!!! ek love elke foto!!!
Op ‘n onopvallende manier neem jy kunsfoto’s sonder om die gang en gevoel van die seremonie te versteur. Die foto’s vertel die verhaal… die fotograaf stilweg op die agtergrond. Dit steel my hart.
Congrats on your 100th that’s brilliant and to be able to capture such a dynamic couple looks like it has made it even more momentous!
dit is pragtig
Die foto’s is ongelooflik mooi, wat ‘n stunning couple…onthou moments create memories en julle het besonderse oomblikke wat vasgele was op kamera….nogmaals geluk en baie seen vir die pad vorentoe.
Liefde
Riada, Peter en troepe

Amazing photos Nicola! Christine, I wish we had great photographers such as yourself when we got married. Breathtaking is truly the word! Nicola & Wynand, great start. We are so sorry we missed the wedding. It seems you enjoyed yourselves though! Love Karen & Nelus
beautiful pics
I have absolutely no idea how many weddings I have done, never counted as in the beginning there were a lot of friends, family members and good will charity shoots I did and I think that this is what has thrown me out of my tally I guess, oh well, here’s to your next 100 I look forward to seeing the art you produce
@myphotographer
Amazing bride and groom, great setting, stunning photographer, what else needs to be said? Congrats on your 100th, it is a great milepost to pass, I can still remember mine from very long ago!
Thanks to everyone for their comments! I appreciate it! x
Baie geluk Christine! Dis lekker as mens so mylpaal bereik, en veral as dit saam met so ‘n stunning paartjie is. Mens kan sommer sien julle het die dag saam geniet :) Die foto’s is great! Jy’s ‘n groot inspirasie vir die res van ons ;)
