Erica & Brent | Wedding | Robberg Nature Reserve

The moment I received that email about a possible adventure elopement on Robberg Nature Reserve, I just knew I wanted to be part of Erica and Brent's special day! The first of their two weddings and they couldn't have chosen a better location for their destination wedding. I am so grateful, that I got to see that DRESS first and be part of this magical love story!

In awe of this destination wedding!

I am BEYOND excited to finally share this special elopement I photographed in March of this year on my favourite place on earth, Robberg Nature Reserve! What an amazing afternoon it was!

The reason why I am only sharing these now, is that I was the lucky one to photograph the first of their two weddings. Brent is South African and Robberg has a special place in his heart too and wanted to share it with Erica (from America). Their other wedding would’ve taken place in America and of course, the dress needs to be kept a secret and surprise to their family and friends. And what a dress it is!

Erica, I wish I could bottle up your laugh and smile where ever I go! It is so infectious and beautiful! I hope you don’t ever find a reason not to smile and laugh in your life, the world would be a sadder place for it. Brent, your nervous smiles and need for a drink at Tsala shows how much this means to you and your face when you walked around on the boardwalk to get your first look, was special and there are no words to describe those moments.

Again Erica and Brent, THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing this special day with me and for that thank you card even before you saw the photos, the words you wrote are so special to me and that card has a safe place next to my computer, it’s a reminder why I LOVE what I do. Thank you for being special humans!
