“He who love has conquered the world and has no fear of losing anything. True love is an act of total surrender…”
I cried … at a wedding … for the 1st time – the love between these two beautiful people made me cry …
Everything about this special day was just perfect – except the 45km/hour South Easter that was blowing…..but even that could not put a damper on this very very special celebration of TRUE LOVE.
Andreas, all the way from Norway found his true love in the computer lab of the University of Stellenbosch – a born and bred beautiful Xhosa girl stole his heart! Tandekile is the most amazing person that I have met in a very very long time. A heart filled with gold, the prettiest smile and a huge cupboard filled with beautiful shoes – that is Tandi;)
I just loved her blue wedding shoes and everything else about her wedding day. When I started taking pictures, heaps of excitement in the air, she showed me the gift of pearls that Andreas gave her the morning of the wedding {Norwegian tradition} – how beautiful?
The little girls getting dressed was just too cute not to share.
The wedding ceremony was held at Devon Valley and the reception was at J.C. le Roux in Stellenbosch.
When it was time for the portraits of the lovely couple, the wind was blowing at full force and we decided to embrace it with full force;)Had heaps of fun whilst creating the portraits in a wind of 45km/hour.
Thanks Tandi & Andreas for going along with all my crazy ideas and embracing the wind – hope you like the pics!!!
Much love and happiness on the road ahead of you – Tandi, I hope you have got a lot of warm clothes for Norway!!
Enjoy and I might even end up visiting you over there one of these days…xxxx
