We have mutual friends and saw each other socially for years. The magic, however, started when I came to Laura's rescue with pecan pie after her phone got stolen in Long Street.
We have been together for two years.
We are both fun loving and quirky.
The proposal was late July and just before our first overseas holiday. I lured Laura up Signal Hill with the promise of champagne for a pre-celebration of our overseas holiday the next day. Little did she know that it was more than the champagne that was about to pop.
Riaan West, whom had worked with Laura at a previous event, was generous enough to bless us with a shoot.
Cape Town is our home and playground and we wouldn't consider having it anywhere else.
The city scape – coffee, tequila and our mountain!
My mother gifted me her engagement ring, which I used to propose and we designed our ring together after Laura said YES!
We are doing it old school by planning the wedding ourselves.
Nothing builds anticipation like a little mystery ;)
Riaan West is a Cape Town based international fine art wedding photographer who travels for local and International weddings.
