When something is beautiful, one cannot help to admire it. Today on the blog we are very excited to share a tremendously stunning wedding shot by the ever beautiful, talented and ambitious Schantel van der Merwe fom Schantel Merwe Photography. What an elegantly soft approach she has to her work and every single image is breath taking. Nanri and Marnus got married at Molenvliet in the Western Cape and just like the Nanri, it was a beautiful occasion. FJS Productions filmed the day and together with other high end suppliers a magical day was created. Enjoy this wedding with us as it is an honor to be able to share it with you.

We met at a wedding in Stellenbosch - me (the bride) as a guest and him (the groom) as a wedding crasher. I (bride) went alone to my friend's wedding since my partner could not make it back in time from an overseas business trip. He (groom) was in cape town for another wedding but decided to join his friend who was invited to the same wedding as the one I was attending. So, it happened that the place next to me intended for my partner, with his table placing name card and all, was empty - and he (groom) annexed the empty seat.

I said Yes | How did the proposal go down.

He swept me away to New York and proposed under the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Big Day | Tell us the most memorable moment of your wedding day.

Well, since all of our guests made the journey either from abroad of from a different parts of South Africa, our wedding day was preceded with 3 days of events for the bridal party and family, which included a golf day, wine tour and the rehearsal dinner which was held in the cellar of the venue. The run up to our wedding day was itself so memorable, that it is impossible think about our wedding day in isolation! The whole week was filled with happiness, good food and wine and memorable moments. On the big day itself we remember the perfect weather, our picture perfect surroundings, and most of all how AWESOME the final décor and flowers looked! The lovely atmosphere that was between our guests was noticeable immediately, and to see how the guests truly enjoyed and loved everything about our special day was very memorable - it was evident in the dance floor being occupied the whole night from our opening dance! We really did dance the night away!
