Talloula Wedding in Botha’s Hill: Llewellyn & Carina

October 8, 2019

I would like to welcome Llewellyn and Carina to our blog today! This amazing couple got married at Talloula in Botha’s Hill, and the décor set up by Glynnis was fantastic as always.

Groomsmen Prep in Hillcrest

The groomsmen got ready at Llewellyn’s mom’s house in Hillcrest, while the girls got ready at the venue. Llewellyn was relaxed when I arrived, and the boys did everything I asked of them without complaining. The groom prep went quickly, and after 40 minutes of shooting I was ready to go and see the bridesmaids.

Spring Bridal Prep at Talloula

When I arrived at Talloula, I noticed how spring was in the air, with flowers everywhere. So, so beautiful! The weather was perfect, and when I saw Carina, she looked like a 1940s Hollywood actress! The girls were easy to work with, and Carina stole the day in such a gorgeous dress.

A Ceremony to Remember

Carina’s son walked her down the aisle to Llewellyn, which was super special, and the groom could not take his eyes off his bride. The ceremony carried a powerful message about not giving up when things get tough, and about making and building something together.

After some beautiful vows and the ceremony formalities, it was time for the grand exit. Petals were flying everywhere, and everyone was so excited that this day had finally come. We cut the cake soon after the ceremony, and I rounded up the families for some family photos.

Smoke Bombs and Couple Portraits

The creative shoot was an absolute blast, with smoke bombs, a few good jokes and an intimate shoot with just the bridal couple. Talloula never fails to deliver, as the venue has everything a photographer could ever need! The time just flew by.

A Glowing Reception

The reception was buzzing, with people catching up on each other’s lives, and it seemed everyone in the hall had played a big part in Llewellyn and Carina’s lives. I loved how the lights of the couple’s initials lit up the back of each speaker’s hair as they gave their speeches. It just added so much to the venue!

The wine was plentiful, and everyone could see how much Llewellyn adored Carina. I would just like to thank this couple for allowing me to be part of such a special day in their lives, and I wish them only success in their future together!
