“The most irresistible beauty is the radiant glow from a kind and gentle heart.” Richelle E. Goodrich

Wow, what a way to start 2019. The bar has been set quite high from early on. Yannick and Crystal’s wedding at Memoire Wedding Venue was super special and emotional. And BEAUTIFUL! I mean, just look at Crystal in her Vonve Bridal dress…exquisite! and the decor…just stunning!

Yannick is from the Congo and Crystal from SA, and they said their traditional “I-do’s” in the Congo last year. But like Yannick would say:” The God-part of the wedding is the most important” so they said “I-do’s” in SA late last year.

Memoire Wedding Venue recently did some upgrades to their main reception hall and it looks absolutely STUNNING! the back of the venue got the addition of glass doors which gives the venue incredible natural light and an open-airy-feel! And when you pair this with beautiful flowers from the Wedding Specialist, the place just exploded with beauty!

Ntombi from Extravaganza Weddings and Events planned their wedding so perfectly and wow…she is an absolute machine!

I enjoyed every second of their wedding, and Yannick and Crystal are so blessed to have so many special people close to them! My highlight of the day was the look on Yannick’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…he was completely flabbergasted!

Other suppliers who made the day possible:

Wow, I really wanted to create a dreamy, elegant and romantic engagement shoot for Yannick & Crystal, and they wanted a super beautiful sunset shoot in an urban setting...and there were no other option but to do the shoot at a rooftop in the Innercity of Johannesburg. 

Yannick rented an Airbnb apartment in the 12 Decades Johannesburg Art Hotel in The Maboneng Precinct, and Extravaganza Weddings created the most romantic setting for them up on the roof! Wow, what a view of Johannesburg! I really can't wait for their wedding later this year, it's going to be epic! 

Crystal's makeup was flawless, thank you Precious Puseletso Xaba Makeup Artist!
