Just come back from Natal once again...this time for Kirsty and Devon's wedding at Woodridge Country Estate just next door to Michaelhouse school in the Midlands.

These two weren't looking for romance when they met each other, but they found each other when Kirsty went on a 6 month working holiday in New Zealand amidst her round-the-world travels. Devon emigrated to NZ from South Africa a few years before.

A whole bunch of friends and family from New Zealand, England, Australia, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg all made the effort to get to their wedding...  It was an perfect celebration of different friends, amazing families and a beautiful venue.

It had been bucketing down the day before, but luckily Saturday brought blue skies

The bride and groom were staying at the same hotel, so I managed to get some shots of the boys and the girls getting ready. I was up with the girls from early on in the morning capturing them doing nails, hair, make-up and drinking champagne while the boys quickly out their suits on after having frequented the local pub in Balgowan.

I thought it was very brave of Kirsty to arrive in Durban a few days before the wedding and go dress shopping. Luckily she found a beautiful one that fitted perfectly and complimented her elegant beauty

 Aside from the minister arriving late, the ceremony went along smoothly and Devon looked very chuffed to be marrying such a beautiful bride

There was a cute little trading store where I took a few shots of the bridal party all together

 After lots of partying, Kirsty and Devon danced their last dance to Snow Patrol
