Oh, dear - I don't even know where to begin with this one.

I know it seems as though each time I post a wedding on my blog, I'm talking about how great the couple was, how wonderful the wedding was, etc.... but, Lance and Sarah are precisely one of those couples you just can't help but have a soft spot for.

Based in San Fransisco, they both work in advertising and just ooze style*.

Going by the ceremony speeches, I understand that Lance (and his partner) were the first South African's to win a Grand Prix award at the International Cannes Advertising Festival... *yep, that level of "stylish"!

The wedding was the perfect mix of upscale class and a relaxed schedule, with the only major listing on the agenda being to get married and take photos.

The location was perfect for the picnic wedding Sarah had planned, with lush lawns to lay down picnic blankets & baskets, play croquet, volleyball, mingle and just enjoy the day!

One small glitch though....the Highveld summer rains!

Sarah and Lance, however, were lucky enough to fit in the garden ceremony, as the showers held back for the "I do's" and then the skies opened up.

The timetable was then rearranged and unfortunately the creative portraits (pictures of the couple) were unwillingly sacrificed.

We did, on the other hand, have a back-up plan to complete these, but, both Lance and Sarah decided they would prefer an in-the-moment images of the day, as events actually happened.

So here you are - simple moments captured, as they transpired...
