Léo & Lars’ Romantic Wedding at Langkloof Roses
A Dreamy Cape Winelands Celebration
Tucked between rose fields and the soft mountains of the Cape Winelands, Langkloof Roses set the stage for one of the most romantic weddings I’ve had the privilege to photograph. Léo & Lars, two spirited souls with deep laughter and big hearts, celebrated their love with style, emotion, and a setting as beautiful as their story.
From the first look to the last golden hour portrait, every part of their wedding day was overflowing with authenticity and joy.
The Setting: Langkloof Roses
Located just outside Wellington, Langkloof Roses is one of those rare venues where you instantly feel calm and inspired. Known for its lush gardens, blooming rose arches, and rustic charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for an elegant yet relaxed celebration.
The couple chose the venue for its intimate energy and timeless beauty — and it did not disappoint. The mix of manicured lawns and wild floral textures gave the ceremony and portraits a soft, romantic mood that made every moment feel like a scene from a movie.
Léo’s Effortless Bridal Elegance
Wearing a stunning piece from @once_worn_bridal, Léo radiated grace. Her gown — delicately detailed and beautifully structured — came to life in the garden light. It was the perfect blend of modern minimalism and vintage charm, a reflection of her grounded but adventurous spirit. With glam by the talented @tittewyt_makeup_and_hair, Léo’s look was natural, glowy, and effortlessly elegant — the kind that doesn’t try too hard, but leaves a lasting impression.
Lars: Cool, Calm, and So In Love
Lars (@larsveul) was the perfect counterpart — relaxed, dapper, and fully present. Watching him watch Léo walk down the aisle was a moment I won’t forget. That quiet mix of admiration and joy makes my job as a photographer deeply rewarding. The connection between them was genuine, playful, and grounded — the kind of chemistry that needs no staging.
A Wedding Full of Heart and Detail
Everything about this wedding felt intentional. From handwritten vows to locally sourced florals and thoughtful table styling, Léo and Lars created an atmosphere of intimacy and joy. The colour palette leaned into warm neutrals with blush undertones — subtle, organic, and in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings.
As the sun dipped behind the vineyards, we took a short walk for golden hour portraits — just the two of them, wrapped in the light and the quiet. These are always my favourite moments: no distractions, just a couple in love, being themselves.
Cape Winelands Wedding Photography at Its Most Honest
Weddings in the Cape Winelands hold a special kind of magic. The light here is golden and soft, and the landscape — whether lush and green or wild and untamed — always adds something timeless to a love story. Capturing Léo & Lars’ day at Langkloof Roses was about more than documenting beautiful details; it was about preserving feeling.
From stolen kisses between speeches to joyful tears and uninhibited laughter, this day was a gift to witness and to photograph.
