AARJAN & SEETAL @ BISHOPS & GROOT CONSTANTIA

There is something both quaint and enduring about witnessing old Bishops school boys returning from their successful careers abroad to get married at Bishops Diocesan College in Ronderbosch, in thee most charming Brooke's Stone Chapel.( www.bishops.org.za)

From there the couple continued on their historical route to South Africa's most famous and first wine farm, Groot Constania (www.grootconstantia.co.za). The reception took place at the small cozy Cape Dutch styled Jonkershuis (www.jonkershuisconstantia.co.za). While the guests chilled out under the glorious ancient oaks and were serenaded by the soothing sounds eminating from the Harp, I got to enjoy the 'couple shoot' filled with an extraordinary array of vineyards from seemingly every elevation you could think of---at Groot Constantia it seems that the 'sky truely is the limit for DeVINE time.

NEISHA & ALESSANDRO'S WEDDING

Moyo, Spier Wine Estate

Neisha and Alessandro's international wedding in the garden courtyard at Moyo (www.moyo.co.za) on the grounds of Spier Wine Estate (www.spier.co.za) was an ideal choice for this intimate celebration. The tree-lined garden courtyard is filled with bedouin tents and gazebos made from wrought iron, beautiful copper and mosaic water features and an almost endless array of fairy tale pink roses. A brilliant blend of romance and African ambiance.

The bride could not have blended in with her surrounding more perfectly--from her African footprint shoes, to her sandstone dress, to her  bold and beautiful Protea wedding bouquet, but most importantly, this couple's ability to party to the rhythm of their roots. If you look through the photo's I am sure you might agree on this LOVE SCORE:
PROTEAS: 1
ITALY:       LOVE
