Watercolour engagement shoot

Estiane and Michelle’s watercolour engagement shoot was photographed by Ian Odendaal Photography. This engagement shoot was aimed to be romantic, simple and natural, with a beautiful green and blue mountain landscape as backdrop. The shoot took place at Golden Gate National Park, in South Africa, right after a quick summer rainstorm, leaving us with a fresh breeze and crisp colours. I let the couples’ love speak for itself in the incredible surroundings. The bride-to-be wore a beautiful flowy dress made by Silver Swallow, while Susan Brand contributed with soft watercolour painted stationery.

How did you meet? {as told by Michelle}
We met during our studies seven years ago at the North West University Potchefstroom Campus. We were both first years, I was studying Law and Estiane was studying Information Technology. Mutual friends introduced us to each other.

It took Estiane four attempts to get me to go on our first date, I was convinced he was just another heartbreaker and to my surprise he was the love of my life.

How did he propose? {as told by Michelle}
Estiane unexpectedly flew me to the Cape for a weekend getaway. He then proposed at my favourite wine farm, Waterford Wine Estate where after we had a romantic picnic. We are getting married at White Light, Lanseria later this year.
