Emily Moon River Lodges

Plettenberg Bay, Garden Route

A staircase collision course!

I know I say this with every single wedding blog post, but flip man, I am honestly the luckiest wedding photographer around. I get to hand with BANGING humans every single weekend and Jacqueline and Patrick’s love story is something from a fairytale book and again that invisible red string, has worked it magic.

Jacqueline and Patrick have lived almost their entire lives in the same town, they share mutual friends and Jacqueline even has a picture of Patrick in the background when she eating at a restaurant, there he was. That is how crazy this love story is. It was until Patrick decided he would get a office for his work and when we walk down the stairs he literally bumped into Jacqueline (she owns a hair dress in the same building) and well not only did she take Patricks breathe away, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. They met up and well, as the classics say, the rest his history. Here we are on one of the most beautiful winter Plett days at Emily Moon celebrate, capturing and sharing this stunning day with these two, their closest family and adored friends.

As always, Emily Moon looked absolutely stunning in the winter sun, not a breathe of wind, a bit of cloud, South Africa Test team become world champions, it was a day to celebrate!

Jacqueline and Patrick, THANK YOU for choosing me, trusting me with this special day, thank you for all the laughs, the jokes, the dance moves, that epic champagne spray, thank you for being unapologetically YOU, thank you for being UP FOR ANYTHING (I mean getting in a canoe in on your wedding day in your wedding dress), thank you absolutely awesome and allowing me to create absolute BANGERS with you two!

I can’t wait to see what your stunning future looks like, ill be there, cheering from the side lines, through confetti and spraying champagne!

xXx
