Pierre & Tanja | 5 December 2009 | Val de Vie, Paarl

Tanja & Pierre are such a sweet couple. I had the privilege of meeting them beginning this year when they contacted me for their wedding stationery. Right from the start I knew that there was going to be nothing average about this wedding. Every little detail was considered. And what a joy it was to see it all come together on the 5th of December! I considered myself so lucky when I arrived at the venue to photograph the décor (by Okasie in Stellenbosch), this could have kept me busy for at least an hour! How awesome is the touches of yellow, gold, soft green and linen striped table cloths! I definitely haven't seen anything so unique before! The next pleasant surprise was when we arrived at Terra de Luc where Tanja and her bridesmaids got dressed. Tanja's gorgeous dove grey dress with lace detail was astonishingly beautiful. I also loved Pierre's neat suit and leather brown shoes. The guys' button holes was, as expected, something different and soooo cute! After the lovely ceremony in the Simondium Church we head off for Val de Vie. For those of you not familiar with this estate, it is a stunner! When you walk onto the beautiful polo fields and black and white marble floors of the venue, it feels like stepping right into the stylish world of the 1920's Great Gatsby! I loved the venue's white chairs and the colourful lights above the dance floor. In summary, Tanja & Pierre's wedding was a classy and joyful affair!
