Tell us about the proposal

We talked about getting married for a long time and always moved it to "next year and next year". So this year January he just told me he'll be back home. After an hour, he came back and made me sit on the couch and proposed - it was so cute!

Why and how did you decide on an engagement shoot?

Katie had a Valentine's competition running and I entered. We were so lucky to be one of the winners.

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

We had our engagement shoot at Lourensford Wine Estate. Its one of the places we love to go have breakfast and just enjoy a beautiful day. It's also close to where we live.

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

My mum in-law was my planner. She assisted me.

Can you give us a sneak peek of what you're planning for your wedding?

A garden wedding with beautiful flowers and proteas.
