A Country Love Feast I Rockhaven Farm, Elgin Valley I Dylan and Genevieve

We met Dylan and Gen for the first time at Hello Sailor Bistro (a Cape Town good food institution and our local three-times-a-week eatery) to discuss their wedding.
We immediately loved them.  This meeting with strangers quickly turned into a rad conversation with friends - with loads of belly-laughs and giggles!
Honestly, we were kind of sad when it was all over, we could have hung out with them all day.

So when their wedding day arrived, a little over a year later, we could hardly contain our excitement!
Oh man - what a sweet-sweet wedding!

Dylan and Gen tied the knot at our favourite Farm in the Elgin Valley, full of apple and olive trees, the oh-so-beautiful Rockhaven. Every time we return there to document a wedding, the simple beauty of this venue amazes us. The weather may not have played along but there were other reasons why this wedding was outstanding. That flippen rad LOVE light! Wonderfully easy going people (despite this chilly weather), and a hilarious Love Booth, made this wedding a delight to photograph!

Dylan and Gen - thank you for allowing us to sneak around with cameras, shake our bums on the dance floor and to share the love of two flippen beautiful human beings on our blog.

love,

Classic Polo Club Wedding I Val De Vie I Rob and Xan

Rob and Xan's wedding was held at two incredible locations in Franschhoek, in The Cape Winelands.  The ceremony took place on Xan's family's wine farm Lynx, one of Franschhoek's smaller but by no means less beautiful wine estates. For the reception, the guests travelled to the spectacular 'Val De Vie' Polo Estate.

We were super excited to cover this part of the wedding - not only because we've heard so much about Val De Vie and how stunning it is - but also because there would be horses and polo players! Pictures of brides and grooms on horse back flooded into our minds.

In the end we didn't exactly get our bridal couple on horseback but we came close and wonderfully so.  Documenting this wedding certainly wasn't difficult, what with fine looking people, all dressed up and set against a polo club backdrop.

Thank you, Rob and Xan, for putting on such an amazing wedding and for being such easy going people.

love
