Five recent weddings.
Each told briefly, with the couple's permission. The season, the spaces, what we cooked, who took the photos. The intimate ones and the bigger ones.
March 2024 · Autumn · 92 guests
Anna & Ben
The Oak Avenue → The Werf Hall
A late-March wedding under the avenue, the light at five doing the thing it does. Ninety-two guests, jazz quartet, a marquee on the werf.
November 2023 · Spring · 28 guests
Sarah & James
The Chapel → Homestead dining room
An elopement on a Tuesday. Twenty-eight guests, the chapel, a long dinner in the dining room, candles all the way down the table.
February 2024 · Summer · 165 guests
Thandi & Luke
The Dam → The Werf Hall
A summer-evening dam wedding for one hundred and sixty-five. The walk back up the slope from the dam in the dark was the moment.
May 2023 · Autumn · 64 guests
Priya & Marcus
The Oak Avenue → The Werf Hall
A Sunday wedding in May, two ceremonies: one Hindu under the avenue, one Christian in the chapel. Sixty-four guests, two banquets, one extraordinary day.
October 2023 · Spring · 140 guests
Lerato & Koos
The Oak Avenue → The Werf Hall
A spring wedding for one hundred and forty. The avenue at five, candles on the werf at seven, the band till midnight.
A note on these
Posted with permission.
We ask each couple at the eight-week mark whether they're happy for us to write up their wedding for the site. About half say yes. The ones who don't, we don't, and the ones who do, we send them the draft before it goes up.
If you'd like to see weddings beyond these five (perhaps something more like the one you're imagining), ask. We have a folder of unpublished images that we'll send to any couple seriously considering us.
Could be you next?
Send us your date and a sentence about what you're imagining. We'll see if we can hold it.
