Real family wedding photos and inspiration part 3

As a 2022 bride myself I know how much I would have liked to see more real wedding photos from real brides. Therefor, I am sharing my professional wedding and bridal photos, because I know how much inspiration and excitement seeing real brides and real wedding photos can give. Of course, I also totally adore these photos and I will cherish them forever. And I do hope you gain some clarity looking at my photos. And I wish you a lot of love for your future wedding.

The photographer of all photos is Cherie Theron Photography. She is the best photographer, and she is located in South Africa. I just love how she captured the memories and emotions of our special day! All my photography dreams have come true. I am totally in love with our wedding photos and I believe that is so precious! 

My wedding photos can give you inspiration for your wedding, your bridal look, wedding photo poses and what style of bridal and wedding photography you like. I just love how Cherie edited our photos. The colors are dreamy. Everything looks like the fairytale that I felt in my heart and captured in my memory. You can find more wedding and bridal content of me here. I have posted about my vintage romantic wedding theme, wedding video, say yes to the dress and more on that page.

We shot our wedding photos at the wedding venue. We got married at the Plantation. So we have gorgeous photos in the building and in the forest surrounding the Plantation. Besides that, we also shot some urban photos in the old city centre. This was such a fun twist to our wedding photos! I love the urban background, the stairs and all the different photos. It was truly special. You can find my real wedding photos for real brides part 2 here.

Today, I am sharing the first part of our wedding family photos. These photos were taken after the ceremony, in front of the quaint chapel. We had some delicious bites that were chosen by me and the groom. Such as chicken rotis, sosaties, cheesecake and more all in South African style. I am sharing my real wedding family photos with you, in order to share inspiration for poses and set-ups. So you know what to expect when this part of your wedding comes. After the emotional ceremony, a memory engrained in my brain in the best way possible, I let go of all the excitement, tension and emotion. It was truly the most beautiful day of my life. I have never felt closer to God or to my Husband as that day and I would love to do it over and over. But, to get back to what I wanted to tell you: I knew I wasn’t necessarily looking my best when these photos were taken. I had tears running down my cheeks, because the ceremony was so beautiful and pure. I felt a lot of relief and pure peace after the ceremony, while my heart was still highly emotional. So these photos, you can see that I am very peaceful. The photos are less bubbly and posed as later when I got more into the photos. And I think that is perfectly normal and real!

A quirky little thing about me: I love how vampy some of the photos are! And I have a big passion for fantasy and anything to do with vampires. If you too love The Vampire Diaries, Twilight and True blood, you can always ask your photographer to incorporate that style in your wedding photos. I dedicated this post to my vampire inspired wedding photos. And in the second part of our wedding photography, you will also find vampire inspired wedding photos: You can find my real wedding photos for real brides part 2 here. I am over the moon with our photos!
