Houw Hoek Hotel Wedding - Cris and Michelle

Houw Hoek Hotel Wedding - Cris and Michelle

Cris and Michelle have been together for 18 years and have two amazing children together. How Hoek Hotel is very special to them as it’s where Michelle proposed to Cris. They took a hike up the mountain where she popped the question. I made them do a mini hike up the same path in all their wedding finery and they were absolute champs.

Their wedding was a cloudy and rainy day in December although their vibrant peacock theme added some awesome colour. Their day was filled with so much love and laughter. Some of my favourite moments included Michelle’s best friend serenading her which had her in stitches with tears of laughter. My favourite moment was Skye’s (the best man and their son) speech. Cris is his step-dad but sounds like pretty much the best dad to him. I loved hearing how fiercely the family loves each other and how special their bond is. Being a step mom myself I might have had a little tear or two.
