Dean & Tessa | 11 December 2010 | Kronenburg, Paarl

Dean and Tessa are not only a very handsome couple, they radiate joy and love for each other and it was an absolute pleasure for me to capture their wedding day. Tessa was a graceful bride with her soft creamy rose and peony bouquet, black curls and fine, delicate features. Dean and Tessa were a joy to work with because they are naturally spontaneous (you will see from all the shots of them laughing) and the tender affection between them is so honest. The wind was extremely strong and Tessa’s veil played along nicely to create some dramatic shots at Mooikelder where we took the couple photos. The reception was held at Kronenburg and guests had a fun time with this fun-loving couple. Dean is a natural entertainer and everyone burst out laughing when he removed Tessa’s ‘garter’ which was a big bloomer (there after he removed the real garter). Enjoy!
