Portugese Oyster Box Wedding – Theresa + Rego
Theresa and Rego’s wedding at the Oyster Box Hotel was a proper destination wedding, with pretty much all of the guests (and themselves) having flown in from different parts of South Africa, Portugal and other countries. They decided to get married at the Oyster Box to treat their loved ones to a weekend of seaside grandeur. The idea was to make their marriage a memorable experience rather than just a run of the mill wedding.
Even though Theresa and Rego live in Joburg, their Portugese heritage runs strongly and a large portion of both their families live in Portugal. I actually felt like I was in Europe at times with all the Portuguese speaking folk. This feeling was also spurred on by the fact that they got married at the historical Emmanual Church in the Center of Durban which dates back to 1902.
I just loved the sense of community, family and culture which was so prominent at this wedding. Theresa and Rego … it was a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you both. Thanks for picking me!

Hi Jacqui
It was a pleasure to finally work alongside you and your images are simply stunning. Thank you for handling the day calmly and in such a professional manner. Your work is inspirational and I hope to make their video match the standard of their pictures. I hope we can work together again before I hop on that plane. Thank you for mentioning me in your blog, I will be doing the same for you as soon as their video is up. Regards Zane
