NELLA + ROGAN | FARM WEDDING
/ CLARENS

Thinking back on Nella and Rogan’s wedding day makes me smile from ear to ear. With the celebrations being held in Clarens on their family farm, I made the trip from Durban on the Friday before the big day. Arriving that afternoon, I was greeted with a cold beer and a plethora of warm hugs and smiles from friends and family who had travelled from across the globe. Beer, hugs and smiles. That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

With the wedding held at Nella’s parents’ guest house, I really enjoyed watching as everyone came together to help bring their farm-style vision to life. Nella’s parents emptied out their art studio to make room for the reception whilst others picked wild flowers along the roadside to use as decor.

Everyone seemed to contribute in some way. It was perfect in it’s simplicity and beautiful in it’s sentimentality.

Nella and Rogan’s happy-go-lucky attitudes and the warmth and love shown to them by their guests made for the most magnificent wedding day.

Nella literally looked like a movie star in her elegant Sadie Bosworth wedding gown, finishing the look off with a cheeky pair of sunglasses that only she could pull off so brilliantly.

And there are just no words to describe how beautiful Clarens actually is. It is truly mind blowing and made for the perfect backdrop to their day.

I am so glad that these two special souls picked me to capture their wedding day. With it’s carefree atmosphere and beautiful setting, this wedding was an absolute joy to be a part of. Be sure to look out for photos of Fus, the family’s magnificent Irish wolfhound. He joined in for all the action and made sure to cash in on as many head rubs as possible.

Venue – Ridge Road Estate
Dress – Sadie Bosworth

And the rest is good old-fashioned DIY.
