Christo & Manya’s wedding was held on the 24^th of March 2012 at Ekukhanyeni Guest House, situated on the R37 between Nelspruit and Sabie, Mpumalanga. Renowned Pastor André Myburg, from the AGS Nelspruit church, officiated their ceremony. Their unique reception dinner was held in the farm shed.

Manya’s hair was styled by Romano and her make-up done by Mignonne, both of whom are from Michaelangelo Hair & Beauty Salon in Nelspruit. Her elegant dress, jewellery & accessories are from Pink Chilly Bridal in Benoni.

Manya Irons Senior, Manya’s mother, also known as the “wedding planner” and “florist” did a brilliant job of putting their entire wedding together and ensured that everything went perfectly smooth on the day. Peter Irons, Manya’s father, provided mouth-watering catering and even baked their wedding cake.

The magnificent horse on which Christo made his grand entrance at the ceremony belongs to Sean Eggersglusz at Eggys Farrier Services. Hendrik from Mpumalanga Sound & AV Hire in Nelspruit was the DJ on the day.

I was invited to Leopard Creek near Malelane by the van Dyk family on Christmas Day 2011 – where we did their family photos on the renowned golf course. Piet & Jana’s cute 9 month old baby boy Frans was without a doubt the star of the day and quickly became my favourite prop to use in everyone’s shots!

Well known owners of Minuteman Press in Nelspruit, Johan & Magda Barnard, celebrated their 25^th wedding anniversary on the 6^th of December 2011. Magda had the awesome idea of doing a photo shoot in her original wedding dress – which by the way still fits her perfectly – and I had the privilege of taking their photographs!

We went to Kaapschehoop (where they got engaged) and also did a few shots between their litho printers at work afterwards. Herman van den Berg commented on their photos on Facebook: “Beautiful Johan, your wedding tie still fits!”
