Natalie and Glyn Muldersdrift

This fun and vibrant wedding was shot by husband and wife team Melanie Janse and Jaco Janse. Their studio is in Muldersdrift, the wedding capital of Gauteng. They are able to offer studio as well as location shoots to all clients without the hassle of having to travel between locations. Visit their respective sites.  Melanie Janse and Jaco Janse for more pictures of this fab wedding

Natalie and Glyn Ogden chose “The Bridge” wedding venue in Muldersdrift for their very special day.  Living in Durban made the hunting for venues very difficult, however it gave them access to driftwood on the beaches of KZN which Glyn and Natalie used to make their own table centerpieces for their wedding reception.

The couple were very clear as to what they wanted.  Something different, fun and very memorable! This was not difficult at all to achieve as both the bride and groom were keen to try everything and also came up with really good ideas regarding potential locations for their wedding photos. We had as much fun shooting these pics as they had posing for them. The “shebeen” (informal eatery & bar frequented by the local residents and workers from the area) turned out to be a great backdrop, yet another great idea. Natalie’s decision to include royal blue in her dress design, her shoes, the groom’s tie and the decorations…. brilliant.

In the bride’s own word’s; “…whoop whoop, these photos are great. You guys were so much fun to work with and so easy. You made magic happen in the middle of nowhere.”

    How lovely that Leigh herself described the details of their wedding! So touching to hear how family members all made the day extra special. Love the blue-toned bottles (so pretty!) and the biodegradable picnic bags as favors!

    stunning! absolutely one of loveliest weddings ever. The wedding theme is great – and i bet it you enjoy your big day as much as possible, insteat of rushing from one table to another to speak with your guests.

    “Our wedding day was a culmination of effort and love from friends and family. Resulting in a beautiful and special wedding day that we are so grateful for”
    And i think this is the way it should be. Your families were with you for so many years, and in this important moment they should be near you – in every way.
    Hugs to you and your families guys. I really wish you a happy life together.

    Such a perfect day!
    I especially loved the cake topper.
    I’m planning a picnic wedding too and wondered what you did with a few of the things I’ve been struggled with.
    – What did you do for blankets for your guests to sit on?
    – Your biodegradable bags are a great alternative to picnic baskets. Where did you order them from?
    Thanks!
