Snowflake Venue Wedding in Potchefstroom: Deon & Bianca

April 4, 2019

I would like to welcome Deon and Bianca to our blog this morning! This couple got married at the Snowflake venue in Potchefstroom, the old factory that used to make Snowflake cake flour. It’s super arty and has even built its own theatre! It is definitely a landmark for future weddings and has so much character. I was super stoked!

We first photographed Deon and Bianca for their engagement shoot, and they were just as amazing as a couple on the day, looking after my videographer and me so well. When we arrived, there was so much to capture that we were spoilt for choice of backgrounds.

Groom and Bridal Prep

Deon was nervous at the start of the groom prep but soon got used to all the lenses. The guys had lots of fun and were all good sports.

The bridal prep was shot at a local B&B, and it felt like we were shooting in Thor’s back garden! Bianca looked so beautiful, and everything about her dress complemented her so well.

A Ceremony in the Old Boiler Rooms

The ceremony took place in the old boiler rooms, where the steel beams and bunting made the venue look the part. I could see tears welling up in Deon’s eyes, and his breath left him as he gazed upon his beautiful bride. The message was shared, vows were exchanged, and before we knew it, we were preparing for the exit.

Bridal Party and Couple Portraits

During the creative shoot, the retinue were so much fun to work with and did everything we asked of them. I could have carried on photographing Deon and Bianca on their own, but we were racing against time, so I had to be happy with what I shot (which was all amazing!). This couple was very photogenic, and they both loved being in front of the lens.

A Reception with a Confetti Surprise

At the reception, we were spoilt with great food and hospitality, and during the groom’s speech, the boys attacked Deon with confetti spray. Super fun! I can honestly say this is a wedding for the books.

Deon and Bianca, I wish you all the best in your journey together, and thank you for entrusting such a great day to my hands!
