I will definitely remember Monique and Gerhard’s wedding for a long time to come.
These guys are free spirits and true romantics. Just a few hours before the ceremony Gerhard was still sending Monique love letters and they couldn’t wait to see each other at the ceremony! They were excited like high-school sweethearts out on a first date!
And what a beautiful ceremony it was…
The Barn in Plettenberg Bay was transformed into a wonderland wedding venue: elegant, cosy and quaint.
I thoroughly enjoyed the photography, especially working as a team with talented videographer/photographer Eon Coetzee from Eon Media. I am so excited to see his wedding video.
That day there were so many touching speeches and funny jokes. Things that cannot be completely captured, but lives on in memory for years to come.
Thank you for an amazing day! Your positivity touched me deeply.

Wedding of beautiful Surisa and Ronald. These love birds traveled all the way from Pretoria to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the unique beauty of the Garden Route’s stunning landscapes. They have chosen Fancourt, South Africa’s premier golf resort in George, to host their big day. Surisa was incredibly calm throughout the whole day, impressive, considering that everything had to be arranged from Pretoria. The wedding ceremony was run and blessed by her grandfather, which made the event even more special. Surisa’s gentle nature, bride and groom’s evident love for each other and elegant style of the whole wedding blended so naturally together.
Surisa and Ronald’s wedding shoot was an inspiring collaboration with Eon Coetzee from Eonmedia. I can’t wait to see Eon’s wedding video creation!
