LOVE BUBBLING OVER AT DURBANVILLE HILLS WINERY WITH MARGUERITE & PETER

Awaiting the arrival of  'Little Ms Sunshine'
Famous 'First Sightings'
Marguerite's dad adding a bit of 'Little Mr Sunshine' as he proudly walked his daughter up the isle

      Mandy Causton from Cape Floral Designs (www.capefloraldesigns.co.za) adding pure vibrancy
                          and colour to the wedding ceremony




Peter running 'rings' around Marguerite with that smile.

It takes a brave hairdresser to go up against Cape Town's famous 'Cape Doctor' winds with her brides hair and make-up resting in her hands. (www.fralene.co.za)





                           Marguerite and Peter 'stepping back' in time with some moody sun flares

Eyes focused squarely on their bright future
Love and romance about to 'bubble over' with joy
Marguerite and Peter surrounded by their enthusiastic family of bubble blowers

                       Aahhhh the joy and intrigue of being at the centre of this bubble affair







This unique and colourful Macaron Tower is the proud invention of Alexa da Silva at Lady Marcaron

Peter loving his 'modeling moment' of fame
Durbanville Hills winery (www.durbanvillehills.co.za) boasting impressive vineyard and mountain views coupled with a team of exceptionally attentive staff.

 Love and affections spanning the 'generation-gap'
                                 Marguerite looking like she has just passed her 'bar' exam again
And what is a Cape Town summer wedding session without the presence of our famous 'South-Easter'. Happy days to you both.

ADVA & DEON: A WHOLE LOT OF LOVING AND LAUGHTER AT LANGVERWAGT... MAZEL TOV!

 If you dream of having a secret wedding ceremony in a lush forest , amidst vineyards and rambling gardens, then Lanverwagt is the perfect destination for you. (www.langverwagt.co.za)









Nothing like the innocence and immediacy of a child--when they want to drink, they want to drink NOW! Priceless moments walking up the wedding isle.
Deon unable to contain his pure delight and excitement as his bride approaches.

Deon and Adva basking in the sunlight amidst a canopy of green foliage and their elegant Chuppah (a Chuppah symbolizes the new home that the couple will build together)

Just before Deon broke the glass, he remarked rather comically: 'This is the last time I put my foot down in the relationship" hahaha

Thanks to wedding planner extraordinaire Linda Brown  from Oh So Pretty (http://www.ohsoprettyplanning.com/) for her expertise and smooth running of this event for both wedding couple and guests alike.
Guests enjoying the the splendor of Lanverwagts glorious gardens.Thanks to Juria le Roux of Langverwagt (rleroux@iafrica.com) and her team who were one  of thee most attentive wedding teams I have ever worked with. 
 Everyone enjoying the 'chill-out' zone thanks to the soothing sounds of the Trilogy String Quartet (http://trilogymusic.com) 



         Romance roaming circles around bushes of 'blooming large' Hydrangeas 













Deon been given a stern warning as the boys knuckle down to the 'nuts and bolts' of the traditional Jewish dancing and festivities

 Langerwagt's historic (circa 1800) wine cellar was beautifully decorated by Su Lomas Event Styling company(sulomas@iafrica.com) with thee most elegant white proteas holding center stage on the tables. Mouth-watering catering by Melliam Catering (www.melliamcatering.co.za) 

 Thanks to DJ Rob (robyouruncle@gmail.com) for keeping the dance floor humming and the newly weds twisting and turning with formidable flair.
Just married….with the sweetest touch of them all--a delectable white Lindt ball covered cake.
