Petrus Saayman Wedding Photography http://www.petrussaayman.co.za Petrus Saayman wedding photography weblog Fri, 18 May 2012 09:39:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Candy & Gregga http://www.petrussaayman.co.za/2012/04/candy-gregga/ http://www.petrussaayman.co.za/2012/04/candy-gregga/#comments Sat, 07 Apr 2012 09:00:36 +0000 Petrus http://www.petrussaayman.co.za/?p=12645 When Candice told me they’re getting married at Jan Harmsgat se Agterplaas I was so intrigued I couldn’t wait for their wedding day!  And I was pleasantly surprised.  In Cullinan, this beautiful little venue was the perfect setting for two very much in love people who celebrated their wedding day.

I had quite a variety of settings to play with…  Elegant yet fun are the words that come to mind.

I also had the best ginger beer I’ve ever tasted and even went so far as to start making my own…

Here are some of the images I captured…

It provided the perfect backdrop for some beautiful photographs.  The lush greens woods and gardens were breathtaking.

The couple, Leon and Walmarie… What beautiful people!  So friendly and warm.  Their entourage as well!  I had lots of  fun with them.

Their crowd was great and the atmosphere was joyous all round.  Enjoy having a look around….

It was also the first time I experienced the Greek custom of “breaking of plates”….boy was this fun.

But despite all the crazy cow boys and girls….my wedding couple looks super stylish and elegant.

Lourens and Liezl…thank you for having me at your wedding.  I truly enjoyed photographing you.

For most weddings I have about an hour or so to do this while I’m traveling.

Henry and Mariëtte’s wedding was held on a farm just outside of Bloemfontein….I had almost five hours to think of new ideas.  But the truth is, I really didn’t need to think of it at all…..this whole wedding was different….almost every aspect of it.

I could relax and just enjoy capturing the fresh and funky ideas the Henry and Mariëtte had planned for the day.

As you go through the images below you will see exactly what I mean…so enjoy.

I knew the reception hall at Avianto was going to be out of this world.

When I was asked to photograph this wedding….I politely declined.  Even though I love taking photographs….I wanted to be part of the action on this one.

My other sister, Kobie, got married today….and she looked dashing.  And by her side….Troye….a real gentleman.

My right-hand-man, Wayne, was the lucky one to capture this stylish, classical, beautiful affair…..well done my friend.
