Jacques & Suzanne’s Nooitgedacht Wedding | Stellenbosch Celebration
There’s something magical about a wedding surrounded by ancient oak trees and mountain views, and Jacques & Suzanne’s wedding at Nooitgedacht Estate in Stellenbosch captured that magic perfectly. It was a day filled with natural beauty, heartfelt moments, and an evening celebration under starlight that felt like it belonged in a fairytale.
The couple exchanged vows outdoors, beneath the shade of Nooitgedacht’s towering trees. The natural canopy created a serene and intimate atmosphere, while the sweeping views of the mountains framed the moment beautifully. With sunlight filtering through the branches, the ceremony was both elegant and deeply personal.
After the ceremony, we wandered the estate for portraits. Jacques & Suzanne looked radiant against the backdrop of the dam, its still waters reflecting the surrounding landscape. Higher up, the mountain views offered another breathtaking perspective, giving their photo gallery both variety and depth. Of course, the trees remained a recurring theme — their timeless beauty tied the entire day together.
As evening fell, the celebration continued beneath strings of glowing bulbs suspended in the trees. The combination of warm light and the night sky created a starlit canopy for dinner, speeches, and dancing. The atmosphere was joyful and relaxed, the kind of setting where every guest felt part of something truly special
