Jarryd and Anya

How did you meet?

I found him on my doorstep - literally. We met through a mutual friend, Jenna, who decided to play matchmaker. She brought Jarryd over to my house and the rest is history. We have been together ever since.

How would you describe yourselves?

Jarryd is quiet, mischievous and very loyal. I'm loud, love adventures and very caring.

When did he propose and how did he pop the question?

After months of me complaining about waiting for a proposal, Jarryd finally proposed. He came up with a plan to do it when I least expected it. He stole my apartment keys to make a copy of it, snuck into my flat while I was at work and covered the place in candles and roses. I came home from work and got the fright of my life.

Why and how did you decide on an engagement shoot? Did you specifically book it or was it an extra offered to you when you booked your photographer?

Grace Hutton is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I knew she wouldn't be able to do my wedding photos as she would be a bridesmaid. It was so lovely to have her shoot us - it make them even more special!

Where did you shoot your engagement shoot and how is the location linked to you?

We did our engagement shoot close to Koelbay. Grace hadn't done an engagement shoot there before so it was something different. I loved the contrast of the ocean and the fynbos.

What is the theme of your engagement shoot or what is it inspired by?

There was no specific theme. We didn't even plan our outfits. Jarryd was stubborn and wanted to wear his own thing - luckily it all worked out in the end.

Did he choose your bling or did you pick your ring together?

We chose it together. We walked into the jewelry shop just to get my finger sized and found this one by chance. He then made me wait 5 months before he proposed.

Are you making use of a wedding planner or are you planning your wedding all on your own?

We got married on 14 October 2017 at Saronsberg in Tulbagh. We planned the wedding ourselves and involved all the family members. My brother did the invites, Jarryd's dad did the decor, my mom did the flowers and my other brother was the wedding singer.

Can you give us a little sneak peek of what you are planning for oyur wedding?

We wanted a relaxed vibe with good food and wine. We went for a simple rustic theme, with lots of greenery.

I'm all about the REAL moments from the heart. Raw and unplanned. I capture the messy moments, the loud moments, quiet moments, silly laughs and ugly crys.
