BERNARD + ELZAAN
Die Woud, Caledon - Western Cape, RSA
When Elzaan and Bernard brought their adorable Cocker Spaniel, Daisy along to their engagement shoot, I knew we were bound to get along like a house on fire.
These two have hearts of gold, never stressed about anything (Elzaan was such an organised bride!) and they seamlessly executed a festive family affair beneath the forest canopy at Die Woud in Caledon.
Upon entering the glass reception tent, you are welcomed by Elzaan's impeccable taste, reflected in the carefully chosen soft pink and navy colour palette. She even designed beautiful signs with their favourite quotes to cover up areas which was less photogenic.
Bernard had a hard time to not shed a tear when she walked down the aisle alongside her dad in her bespoke Robyn Roberts gown. An added touch of choosing the live band, Newton & Co (which I can highly recommend) instead of the traditional DJ. This created a festive mood and the guests were dancing under the stars until the early morning hours.
This wedding is truly on of my 2016/17 season favourites!
