Beautiful Romantic Autumn Colour wedding | Victor and Michelle | Part 1

This was one of those perfect winter wedding days. 
Everything was just perfect:  BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN COLOURS - STUNNING BRIDE - UNBELIEVABLE DECOR - FANTASTIC VENUE - A COUPLE IN LOVE.

Victor and Michelle had their ceremony and reception at the unbelievable
stunning Franschhoek Country House and Villas.

I only spend 6 hours at the wedding, but still managed to take too many photos resulting a another HUGE blog post.  I have decided to split the 180 photos in 2 posts.  This is only Part 1, make sure you have a look at both posts, Enjoy.

Mount Nelson Love | Rudolph and Alice

Rudolph and Alice had a very romantic reception at The Mount Nelson Hotel.  We planned to do part of the photo shoot on Signal Hill, but unfortunately the weather didn't allow for that and we took all our photos at the hotel. This is a HUGE post with 170 photos, so please be patient while it all upload :)

Kleinevalleij magic | André & Yolandi

André and Yolandi had their wedding celebration at Kleinevalleij in Wellington. They came all the way from Johannesburg to celebrate their special day with friends and family in the beautiful winelands.

Winter Wedding Wonder at Kronenburg | Kobus and Marcelle

Shooting weddings this time of the year is just awesome.  Beautiful dark skies, coloured leaves on the vines and some awesome autumn colours.  The only - is the risk of rain.  On Kobus and Marcelles wedding day we had everything, all the + & -.  But, we managed to finish the shoot just in time :) 

Kissing in the Rain - Tiaan & Karen

 

Shooting in the Rain is not as nice as Kissing in the Rain  :)  This was a very difficult day of shooting, very cold with lots of rain.  Fortunately we planned our shoot to have enough time for shooting.  Tiaan and Karen got married at Somerset College and had a small and intimate canape reception with their close friends and family.

On Track... D'Aria wedding with André & Tihanna

After this wedding I knew that I had the opportunity to get a few unique photos.  When I started downloading the photos on my computer after the wedding my smile grew little by little, because I then knew that I nailed the shots and the moments.  I was so very happy with that :)

Tihanna and André are both athletes and this is also where they met one another, on the Track. They are really stunning people, gentle and caring, with a great love for God.  I really enjoyed spending the day with them and capturing some truly unique and once in a lifetime moments.   

I hope you enjoy the photos...Please tell me what you think at the end of the post.
