Edmund & Terri's Wedding Celebration{Sedgefield}

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. ~ George Sands ~

I had the privilege embarking on a destination wedding again, and what a wonderful wedding it was! Terri and Edmund tied the knot at the Whistle Steam Stop in Sedgefield, Western Cape, and what makes this wedding so memorable to Terri is the fact that they spent most holidays in Sedgefield and she always wanted to get married there!  

I just love destination weddings because it gives me the chance to travel and to spent time with my family...yes...we had a four day holiday in Plettenberg Bay!

Edmund and Terri are such wonderful people to be around and their love each other and for the Father was so tangible, and I believe it can be seen in all aspects of the wedding.  

Other suppliers

Venue: Steam Whistle Stop, Sedgefield

Wedding Gown: Terri wanted a light pink dress, which she dreamt of since forever, and according to her was the Wedding Dress, Northcliff, the only wedding dress supplier who would actually makes this dress. Risky but beautiful!

Event Management: Conféti Weddings, Events & Hire. They arranged the DJ, the Marque tent, tables and chair and catering.

Cake: Crumbs n Smiles made a beautiful cake, and incorporated elements such as our engagement shoot photos printed on edible paper. Amazing.

Table Lasercut elements: Die Stalletjie Laser Cutting

Engagement

Terri comes from Cape Town and Edmund from Johannesburg, and it was on a planned holiday to the Mother City that he proposed to her in June 2015 at a small restaurant close to the railway in Franschoek. They were dating for 9 months at the time and Edmund, a hopeless romantic, went on his knees during desert, and all Terri could say was "YES"!

Terri told me that the owners of the Whistle Steam Stop said that they have never hosted a wedding before because it is not a function venue. so with the help of Confeti they had to bring in almost all of the suppliers in from the outside which included the Catering, Marque Tent, Chairs and Chapel area. 

They both got ready at the Myoli Beach Lodge in Sedgefield, which was very close to the main beach in Sedgefield! Such a simple and cozy little place! 

The Myoli Beach Lodge cabins are a tad bit small for wedding preparations, but Terri made a plan by doing her make-up in the bathroom. :)

I am so sad that I didn't have the chance to take some pictures of Terri at the beach, but luckily it wasn't the case with Edmund and his groomsmen.

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!
