Kylie and Dylan’s wedding at Bell & Blossom in Pretoria was all about the moments that matter. No over-the-top staging—just real, unfiltered memories as they happened.
A Beautiful Venue for a Special Day
Bell & Blossom is a venue that balances a natural setting with a polished touch. The ceremony space, surrounded by trees and open skies, gave their vows a sense of quiet intimacy, even with all their family and friends watching. It’s one of those places that feels like it belongs to the couple on the day, rather than just being another wedding venue.
Getting Ready
Kylie got ready with her bridesmaids in a bright, airy space, the kind that makes everything feel calm even when the nerves kick in. Dylan and his groomsmen had their own space to prepare, cracking jokes and keeping things relaxed. It’s always interesting seeing the contrast—one side filled with last-minute touch-ups and details, the other with a sense of “let’s get this show on the road.”
The Ceremony: A Moment of Commitment and Service
The ceremony was centred around their commitment to each other, with a particularly meaningful moment during their foot-washing ceremony. Originating from Jesus Christ’s example of service to others, the act was a beautiful, symbolic gesture of how Kylie and Dylan plan to serve each other in marriage. Before that, as Kylie walked down the aisle, Dylan couldn’t hold back a tear—a raw, honest moment that said more than words ever could.
Real Moments, Real Memories
As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus on capturing the day as it unfolds naturally. While there’s always room for some guided portraits, the heart of my work is in the unscripted moments—the ones that bring back the feeling of the day when you look at them years from now. From Kylie’s dad’s reaction when he saw her for the first time, to the way Dylan looked at her when she walked down the aisle, these are the moments that can’t be recreated.
