Oh how I’ve been planning to share this shoot from Heline Bekker Photography with you for a while! The shoot features tattooed bride bombshell regular Gwenda Jeffs and she’s totally killing it at the coastal mermaid bride!

We love to explore and visit locations with a different look and feel. We’d been planning a beach shoot for a while but typically, we had to wait for the weather to be kind! Our main goal was just to go and explore the location without any plan set in stone, to be free to shoot it how we wanted and just to have fun.

For me it was a day I’ll never forget. I hadn’t visited Kingsgate Bay before, so when I saw it I freaked out a bit like a kid in a candy store! To me the place has a certain feel to it, a mystery – and I love that!

Today I get to share with you the gorgeous outdoor wedding that took place at the Bon-Amis Bloemendal Wine Estate in Durbanville in Cape Town, South Africa from the fabulous Heline Bekker Photography.

Roxie & Shaun’s story started seven years before their wedding day where they met online and when they eventually met, Shaun won Roxie over with how romantically adorable he was. 

He bought me a teddy rose from the nearest toy store and even ordered a kiddies meal from McDonalds just so he could give me the toy spider that came with it! (Let me just add that I LOVE spiders!)

He proposed to me 2 days before my birthday whilst we were away for the weekend. He proclaimed his love for me one evening as we stood on the balcony of the guest house with the ocean waves crashing in the background as well as roses and champagne to the side. He went down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Queue DROOL!

The fact that I was unable to help with the decorating of the venue the morning of the wedding meant that Shaun and his best man had to do EVERYTHING! All the tree decorations, table set up and décor. Absolutely everything. So when I saw how perfect our little wedding looked when I eventually arrived, I couldn’t help but feel so proud of what my man did! With the help of my brother, nephews and the best man, the highlight was seeing how perfectly executed our planning turned out.
