Well-travelled couple, Rudi and Christl set their hearts on getting married in Italy. They planned and paid for their wedding at the Villa Mila in Rovigo, near Venice. Then, Covid -19 brought he world to a halt, literally weeks before their wedding date.
This remarkable couple pivoted back. They found a charming little Gin Bar in the heart of Cape Town to tie the knot. Super keen about having wedding photos with the life and character of an Italian wedding, they enthusiastically contributed to achieve the look they love.
Black-tie attire add sophistication and make the images more beautiful and easy on the eye. Christl, pretty and spontaneous, shines in her dream dress (kudos Alana van Heerden), which constantly played with the light. What a delight to photograph.
Their couple shoot, also in Cape Town, Couple shoot at The Athletic Club & Social in Cape Town leant us a lot about their expectations and how to plan for their wedding shoot.
