Travis & Karen – Dieu Donne, Franschoek

Apr 10 2010, by Stephan Marais,
Tagged with , , and filed under Weddings |

After continued rain the previous few days, the sky couldn’t have cleared to a much more perfect state than on this beautiful day.  Which is kinda convenient, because Dieu Donne (already picturesque) is just absolutely breathtaking on a clear day.

Friends and family from from across the world traveled down to witness this magical moment take place – and what day filled full of moments it was!

Never before have I seen a couple so…so…(excuse the geeky term)…so in sync.  Something that shined through from the first meeting we had, all the way through the couple-shoot to the last dance – a couple so fitting and comfortably in love.

What an experience and privilege.  Enjoy!

    First day back from our honeymoon in Tuscany and Venice. Just had a look at the pics and got both shivers and had such a laugh!

    We had an incredible day and think the magic of it all has been captured beautifully – thanks Stephan!

    Can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and catch up with all our amazing family and friends that made this the day of our lives!

    Love K & T
