Jadine and Byron were surrounded by soft petals, gorgeous light, and loved ones for their dreamy South African orchard wedding. It’s clear that this couple is so in love, and the elements of their wedding reflect that sweet tenderness the newlyweds share. From a peony bridal bouquet to sequin bridesmaids dresses, Bron Fourie of Vanilla Photography captured the wedding details that make Jadine and Byron’s affair unforgettable.
The Moment: “Seeing each other for the first time was such a special moment – cheesy we know. We loved everything about our wedding and will cherish the memories forever.”
The Inspiration: “Jadine is absolutely addicted to Pinterest and I think she planned her whole wedding before she had been proposed to. We wanted it to be fun, memorable and full of things we love. From the ceremony to the garden party and the reception, we tried to make it as personal and as much of a representation of us. We wanted a rustic feel with an elegant twist, we used raw woods, blush and gold/champagne tones with a lot of candle light to set the mood. Our special day turned out to be better than we imagined.”
The Couple Recommends: “We could not have asked for a more professional talented group of people that made our wedding so perfect. You can see the photos, they speak for themselves, these women involved are far too good at what they do. Thank you for making our day so special and unforgettable.”
I seriously cannot get over how beautiful Jadine and her sparkling bridesmaids look in these images! Hiring an expert team of professionals, from the planner, to the photographer, to the beautifiers can make all the difference.
