Paarl wedding photography
Paarl weddings tend to be estate weddings with the mountain behind the ceremony. The valley gets hot in summer, so ceremonies later in the afternoon give softer light and cooler guests; in winter the Drakenstein valley can be wet, so agree an indoor plan B with the venue. See Cape Town wedding photographer.
