Leigh-Ann and Marthinus | Rovos Rail | 21st August 2018
“Life is like a train station, people come and go all the time, but the ones that wait for the train with you are the ones that are worth keeping in it. The train may fall in love with a station, but it has to go and it goes! Don’t be like the train; stay at the station you fell in love, go nowhere!”
Being asked to be the official photographer for a completely bespoke wedding onboard a luxury train, has been a highlight of 2018! Our mix of editorial and photo documentary style wedding photography lent itself perfectly to such a luxurious, unique and tailored wedding.
Entering the train took you into an ethereal world of old school glamour and sophistication - the dining cart and lounges were styled to perfection by Cachet Creative and the floral arrangements by Blush&Blooms were just so incredibly beautiful, we loved capturing every detail.
Getting ready for the ceremony was it’s own gorgeous affair as Leigh-Ann and Marthinus had their own private luxury bedroom compartments at different ends of the station.

Marthinus looked just as grand in his suit from His Pal, Brooklyn Mall. Cufflinks were made especially for the occasion by Michael Wall Design
The wedding ceremony was a sweet and beautifully intimate affair to photograph - no images have been shown for guests privacy.
The cake cutting was super cute - its lovely to see a couple who have such an effortless love about them, and a sense of humour, with some of the delicious frosting ending up on Marthinus’s nose! The couple served an incredible 3 tier cake made by Lunaberry.
The couple’s official wedding photoshoot was beyond amazing. It was everything we could have hoped for and more - our gorgeous pair were just magic and the love was palpable. We feel privileged to have been the chosen photographers for this bespoke wedding and to have been able to document their unique love story.
