BELLE MAROC WEDDING

Belle Maroc – Beautiful Botique Hotel on Blouberg Beachfront

June weather in the Western Cape can be unpredictable: one day cold and raining, the next warm and mild.  Elnie and Dirk’s wedding happened on one of the most beautiful days in June.  They were celebrating their union with a small group of friends and family at the lovely Belle Maroc Boutique Hotel in Bloubergstrand.

The venue which lies on the beachfront of one of the most beautiful coastal areas in the Western Cape is an absolute gem with a beautiful view of Table Mountain and the Atlantic coast on the doorstep of the hotel. Excellent hospitality and service were at the order of the day.   As usual we arrived well ahead of time.  We were greeted by a friendly staff member who quickly escorted us to the private dining area and outdoor garden; the area that would be in our Belle Maroc Botique Hotelviewfinders for the next 3 hours.

The ceremony, with Elnie and Dirk being surrounded by their children, family, and close friends was to be held in the small dining area.  Photographing a ceremony with very little space to move around in can be challenging.  We always plan ahead though, i.e. where we will be standing, and then work together to get the best shots and video without getting in the way of the guests or each other.

Photography

Elnie and Dirk were both looking for candid, natural photographs without too much posing.  We had sent some ideas to them ahead of time, and they agreed that we could get some beautiful photographs with them and their children on the beach.  They also wanted some photographs with family and friend but did not want the hassle of getting everyone to a set place for these.  Instead, we spend some time in the glorious winter sun capturing moment after moment with both adults and children, in the process capturing the beauty of the area and the playful interaction of parents with their children on the beach.

We take pride in our quality and service.  The couple was already able to see the first few photographs by the next day.

Elnie and Dirk, we wish you everything of the best.  May your union be long and happy.

We specialize in intimate daytime weddings.  These events often necessitate working under difficult conditions, viz. small spaces and the fast-paced day.  However, as one would have an alternative plan ready and be able to adjust quickly to changes, we have always managed to carry this off with aplomb.
