MATRIC FAREWELL BLOEMENDAL DURBANVILLE

This amazing young matric couple looked stunning in their matching azure blue ensembles – she in her stunning blue designer dress with full length split from hip to toe and him in a black suit with matching blue tie, shirt and jacket handkerchief, so elegant! Their friends came along to join them in the photo shoot... and for the fun of it. All in all, the photo shoot was a lot of fun, they were keen on doing all sorts of fun poses for the shoot. They especially enjoyed the ‘abduction’ pose where he picked her up, slung her over his shoulder and marched off like in the medieval movies.

The venue was Bloemendal Wine Estate, which is one of the oldest and most popular venues for weddings and matric farewell’s. This lush green estate is set in the Durbanville Valley, just 30 minutes drive from the BEST CITY IN THE WORLD, CAPE TOWN. This historic gem was established in 1702 and is one of the largest farms in the region, reaching up along the Kanonberg and Tierberg Mountains. This boutique wine farm spanning 239 hectares is renowned for their wide variety of award-winning wines. Taste your way through Bloemendal’s range of award-winning wines at their historical Tating Room. The beautiful vineyards are surrounded by patches of forrest trees. It is also a popular venue for weekend cyclists who enjoy breakfast at the local restaurant after their morning ride. Enjoy the unique and unmatched wine pairings, gorgeous wine tatings, delicious light meals and sweet kiddies pairings. The Rosé Garden is a welcoming outdoor dining space with udercover seating. This amazing outdoor restaurant is ideal for watching the sun set as you sip your way through a gorgeous rosé wine or two.

I loved doing this photo shoot because of the excellent lighting but also because of the amazing expansive nature spaces. And the youngsters, I have to say, were loads of fun too.
