Smithfield,
Free State
Ohwowee! What a wedding!
Wim and Endri, our new and awesome Namibian Architect friends, got married in a tiiiiiiny-sweet-and-lovely-sleepy Free State town called Smithfield. We knew this wedding would be a killer when we received their Invite via e-mail (a super cute printable invite that included a video with instructions as to how to fold the invite into an Origami bird) and we could hardly contain our excitement as we stepped off the plane in Bloemfontein, trying hard not to bounce up and down with delight.
Endri grew up in Smithfield, so naturally they decided to get married on her parents family farm (oh so lovely!), with the ceremony being held in a eucalyptus forest and the reception at the farm house.
The weather was a little devil and did not play along, but man-oh-man was it special to witness these guys getting married in the rain surrounded by huge and happy smiles from their soaked family and friends. But it wasn't all grey, the sun decided to peep out just in time for their Portrait Session and quickly dried us up again, plus we got some killer shots in some of the most beautiful light!
The evening ended with rounds of Namibian Shooters and red lid-noses and rosy cheeks and everyone danced the cold away!
Wim and Endri, congratulations and thank you for letting us be part of your awesome wedding! It was well worth the wet feet and freezing cold! :)
love,
