Nicole & Sam

It was great to be back at Hudsons Wedding Venue just outside Stellenbosch for Nicole & Sam’s special day!

Midweek weddings are great, as we offer smaller wedding packages for less hours, but guess what?  Most of the time, you STILL end up getting more images than promised (yip we are sometimes our own worst enemies when creating work for ourselves!)  But hey, when you have a gorgeous couple and  lovely family and guests from around the world, then work is not a job!  And the bonus, a red haired bride! Yeah!

Nicole and the girls got dressed at her family home in Stellenbosch.  How awesome that her mom and dad kept the Scots traditional alive with their outfits.  We’re such suckers for small touches like this!

Back at Hudsons Wedding Venue, the ceremony took place in the beautiful garden on the lawn next to the lake.

The service was filled with so many moments.  It’s also when we realized what softies both Sam and Nicole’s dad are.  This was only the beginning of the tears – keep an eye out amongst the reception photos for a few more!

Nicole and Sam are perfect for each other!  Got to love a no fuss bride who is just able to be herself, but who when caught in the off chance shows so much love and adoration for her man.  The same can be said about Sam.  It’s definitely in the way they look at each other.

The reception was fun, and the speeches yielded lots of laughs and tears too!  It was great seeing the coming together of two families and their friends at such a joyous occasion.

Nicole and Sam, thank you for putting your trust in us to capture the most precious moments of your special day at Hudsons Wedding Venue.  We loved being a part of your day, and we hope that our photos keep the story alive for many years to come.
