Caren & Johan Top Billing Renew Your Vows Competition

This was my first shoot for Top Billing. What a pleasure to work with a consumately professional team. Caren & Johan entered and won the "Renew your Vows" competition with Top Billing and were rewarded with a fairytale ceremony and reception at Summerfields just outside Hazyview. The experience was absolutely breathtaking! And the experience could not have gone to a more deserving couple.... Caren and Johan, it was wonderful to meet a couple who are so in love after 18 years of marriage. You are a true inspiration to all married couples.....


Enjoy some of the photos - even better, go out and get a copy of the June issue of the Top Billing magazine.

Caren & Johan's guests were flown into Nelspruit's airport courtesy of Airlink....

Vesco is Top Billing's producer.... What a legend!

The Summerfields entrance only hints at the peace and tranquility that lies within.....

Summerfields is home to around 75 000 rose trees, hence there is no shortage of natural decoration.

Behind the scenes of the pre-ceremony interview....

The attention to detail in the river camp is wondeful.

Summerfields is situated on the banks of the beautiful Sabie River with plenty of vantage points from which to take in the view..... whilst sipping a sundowner of course......

Caren and Johan were treated to a spa treatment before the ceremony.

Cheese was chosen as the wedding cake - a refreshing difference.

The reception was held at the River Cafe'.

The meal was outstanding!

Blankets were provided for the guests - just in case...

Caren looked radiant as she walked down the aisle with their two children.

After the ceremony, light began failing fast so I grabbed 2 shots and left the rest to the couple's photographer - Rensche Mari of PICKSEE.

Judging by the photos that I've seen, Rensche did a great job under difficult conditions. Well done gal!

Caren and Johan, may you have many many many more happy years together.

Some of the behind the scenes face that made it all possible....

The Top Billing Team stayed at the Stone House.....

At night, the stone patio has the most beautiful ambience.

Here a worker picks roses for the market....

All in all, this was a memorable project. Danieta and I look forward to the next Top Billing shoot this coming weekend..... Keep watching this space!
