The Story:

Martha-Jane and Michael did not fancy a huge traditional Irish wedding at home, so instead they opted to put their funds towards an amazing holiday to South Africa combined with the most special wedding ceremony in the most phenomenal setting. Cherry trees in the Franschhoek Winelands were in full bloom in August and this allowed for spectacular images, something refreshingly different to the well known vineyard shots. Their wedding ceremony was an intimate and special affair that was witnessed by 2 resident majestic black swans. Their reception was a romantic dinner for two in front of the fire place at La Residence. After their wedding, the couple then set-off on an unforgettable and romantic safari honeymoon.
