I love nothing more than seeing beautiful clean light filtering through leaves, and the gaps between them. Because of this, when Rian and Danielle suggested the Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens as a location for their engagement shoot, I knew we were in for some seriously vivid pretty! These two are in fact already married (officially), and have been living in the UK for sometime. They’re now however, planning their big celebration in South Africa where they can share it with family and friends. It was so lovely spending this time with them (and a nice break for them from the British winter they escaped for their little holiday;) and I’m so thoroughly excited to see them upon their return for the big day! Rian and Danny, I hope you enjoy all of these summery memories, and the heat you two survived! If you could look THIS good when it was almost too hot to string together coherent sentences, then you’ve already nailed the whole “being photographed” thing, and you wedding day will be a breeze! Sending you both lots of love! Claire xxx
