Olive Grove Elopement

I have always thought elopements are so romantic! I have been lucky to photograph quite a few stunning ones in some pretty spectacular destinations. These are some of my favourites, Ritz Paris, Mauritius, Kruger National Park, Morrells in Jhb and now at the stunning Mooi Krans Venue in Pretoria.

Now that social distancing is trending, and gatherings are limited to small groups, we have to look at it in a different perspective. You can still have the gorgeous dress, the stunning venue, the beautiful table setting the funny speeches, the great wedding photos, but you can actually have even more. With live streaming companies such as Premier Lifestyle you can have your wedding live-streamed via youtube or Facebook and have everyone join in while things happen. This changes the future of weddings doesn’t it!

When your wedding is intimate, you have the opportunity to pay special attention to smaller details, you can now also spend more on the location, decor, and every other aspect. Your photos, video and live stream will allow for everyone to take part in your special day and appreciate the moments and beauty of it with you. Whilst commenting live and chatting to others. I think this is incredible.
