Janke & Ilé | Mom's Wedding Dress Shoot | Hertford Country Hotel

Janke & Ilé | Mom's Wedding Dress Shoot | Hertford Country Hotel

We believe selecting a wedding dress is more than just a fitting, it’s a process – a memory in the making. Olivelli Cape Town

My wife Juanita have been wanting to do this shoot for almost five years now. Her twin sister Zinette's daughter (Janke) is 5 years old and my wife have been wanting to arrange a photoshoot where Janke would pose in her mom's wedding dress, and fantasy became reality when my daughter was born...my wife knew her dream would come true, so she started to plan this photoshoot: Janke will wear her mom's wedding dress, and Ilé will sleep or lie on her mom Juanita's wedding dress. 

Wow, I love the result....it is "OUT OF THIS WORLD!"

My wife made the flower crowns herself. She bought the flowers and the wire and tape necessary to make the crowns and watched a youtube video for instructions. Amazing. 

The beautiful Glitter Sequins Hanger in Silver is from The Lovilee Shop

Venue: Hertford Country Hotel

Zinette's wedding photos was done by the talented Christiaan David Photography and Janke is holding the album he made for them for their wedding! So special!

Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end! 

Wynand van der Merwe

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
