Intimate Home Wedding in Berea, Durban: Andrew & Vanessa
I would like to welcome Andrew and Vanessa to our blog today! This amazing couple got married at the Petit family home in the Berea suburb of Durban. Getting married at home is very different, and the setting is so intimate.
An Intimate Home Wedding in Berea
The Petits’ home was warm and inviting, with a large lawn where the marquee for the reception was placed. The décor was classy and elegant, and the ceremony took place inside the outer office.
Getting Ready and a Father’s First Glance
Vanessa got ready at a B&B nearby, and when we arrived you could feel the excitement in the air! Once we had finished with the girls, the father of the bride had his first glance at his daughter and could not hold back the tears.
A Ceremony Led by the Groom’s Father
Andrew’s father performed the marriage ceremony. The vows shared were beautiful, and you could feel that everyone was mesmerised by Vanessa’s beautiful dress. After the ceremony and the exit, we had some canapés and shot a few family photos upstairs with some of the international guests.
Portraits in Jameson Park
We left for Jameson Park with just the bride and groom, who were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were lots of fun and did everything we asked of them.
Speeches and Dancing in the Marquee
When we returned to the reception, we quickly shot the cake and waited with bated breath for the couple’s entrance. The speeches shared were full of laughter and fond memories, and Vanessa dancing with her brothers was truly special.
I would like to wish this couple only success in their future together, and say thank you for entrusting your special day to our care.
