\"Charming-Farm-Wedding-South-Africa-Vanilla-Photography<\/p>\n

Inspired by the charming farm of the private estate where their wedding was held, Clair and Shane tied the knot in a perfectly rustic celebration in South Africa. The raw, natural wooden accents paired with bright white furniture and table decor made for an elegant and airy look that brilliantly captured Clair and Shane’s laid-back spirit. Vanilla Photography<\/a> so beautifully documented the carefully planned details, but we can’t get enough of the sweet moments captured as Clair and Shane said “I do” in front of their friends and family.<\/p>\n

The Wedding:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Private Estate, Kwazulu-Natale, South Africa<\/p>\n

The Inspiration:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I loved the idea of raw, natural woods. I went for something simple and wanted the outdoor, relaxed feeling to come across. There was a touch of pastel, but very subtle.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have two favourite moments and cannot choose between the two! My first one was the first moment I saw Shane<\/span>. It’s a long day, we started getting ready at 8 am<\/span><\/span>, so by 3 pm <\/span><\/span>I was dying to see him. Shane<\/span> races motor cross and he said he thought the biggest adrenaline rush he’d ever have would be on his bike, but he said seeing me for the first time, didn’t even compare. His heart was pounding. My second favourite moment was when the dance floor opened. Shane<\/span> was nervous for his speech and I was a bit nervous for the first dance, so once those were both behind us, we could really relax and have fun with our friends and family. Shane<\/span> and I always have a good party together.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously Bron of Vanilla Photography — she makes you feel so incredibly relaxed. She’s fun, spunky and gets everyone into the mood. She was very professional and I liked the fact that we had a schedule which ensured the day ran smoothly. Another one was Hayley from a Pinch of Salt. Arranging warm fillet for 160 people can’t be easy. I loved the look and taste of the food. She came up with some lovely ideas, for example, mini Magnums for dessert, which went down very well.<\/em><\/p>\n
