Stellenbosch wedding photography
Stellenbosch weddings usually mean a ceremony among the vines and portraits in the late afternoon light between the oaks and the mountains. In summer the light lasts until about 20:00, which leaves time for portraits after the speeches. See wedding photographer Cape Town for how the day is covered.
