Ilse and Hannes

How did you meet; where did the magic begin?

We first met at my friend's house, and I hardly took much notice of him. Second time around was again at my friend's house where I again didn't take note of him.
I then started a new job and only to find that he also works at the company. It took me a while to warm up to him but because of his determination and persistance we are now in love and happily engaged - Soon to be married. I like to think it all started when we went for a drink and he said "I want to get a little bit friendly with you" and gently kissed me.

How would you describe yourselves?

he is a fun, loving person and can be very stubborn. He sees the positive side of life, where she would easily go down the negative path. She is caring and strives to keep others happy. We are both completely opposite people yet we balance one another out with the good and bad points .... It is our kind of perfect.

Tell us about the proposal.

We invited our parents over for lunch. He was planning to ask my parents for approval and right after they approved he asked me to marry him. It was unexpected and intimate, just as I like it, it was just us without all the extra trimmings.

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

It was included in our wedding photography package.

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

In Stellenbosch. We often go there on date nights and wine tastings. We call it our backyard.

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

There was no specific theme, it was just about us and the beautiful streets and character that Stellenbosch offers.

Who chose your ring?

He took me to choose my own ring.

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

Planning it on my own.

Can you give us a little sneak peak of what you are planning for your wedding?

It is going to be an outdoor ceremony with beautiful trees and vineyards. With a rustic fynbos, protea theme along with my favourite colours; white, grey and a touch of deep red.
