RENE & JASON'S BIG DAY ON 'THE RANGE' IN TOKAI, CAPE TOWN

This wedding day will go down in the history books as one of my most memorable, with bride Rene as my most nervous and entertaining bride and their horse-drawn carriage which morphed into a mud bathing session as one of the most comical moments.Thanks to Jason and Rene for all the love, laughs and moments of hilarity that will be forever etched in my memory with great fondness.

The Range in Tokai providing the perfect combination of views, vistas and smokey mountains in the distance.


Notice the brides surprise when the horse passes by for a bath - I was laughing so hard I proceeded to blur the entire 'mud bath-in-motion' photographs that followed. Hilarious wedding moments.

Fortifications were a necessary feature of the early Dutch settlement at the Cape and neither the Fort of Good Hope nor the Castle were in a good strategic position to guard the bay, resulting in a semi-circle of fortifications stretching from Salt River to Hout Bay.



Sheron and Monica from the Fairy Factory designed the beautifully creative fingerprint tree, enabling all  guests to literally leave their 'mark' after the wedding ( http://www.thefairyfactory.co.za/about.htm)
