How did you meet?
We met on a crisp Autumn day in May 2007 at an Olive Festival in Riebeeck Kasteel, Western Cape, SA. Kappie was a new comer to our circle of friends and the moment I saw him I was head over heels in love with those blonde curly hair, blue eyes and wide smile. We started dating in October that year.
Tell us about your proposal:
It was last year on the 11th of October. I shot a wedding at Strandkombuis, Yzerfonein along the West Coast and Kappie joined me. The next morning he was up early preparing a flask of coffee, telling me that he would love an early morning walk along the beach, of course I was keen (the expression on his face told me I did not have much of a choice☺. After enjoying our coffee and rusks he suddenly got down on his knees in the sand and popped the question, I was teary eyed and very overwhelmed, but obviously very excited!
Tell us about finding your wedding dress:
I wanted something romantic and vintage which to me meant a lot of lace and an antique brooch! I found Elizabeth Stockenstrom on the internet (a friend referred me), when I saw her gowns, I knew I did not have to look any further.
