Ignus and Marle wanted a dusk wedding on the roof of the Veroz Boutique Hotel in Pretoria, but a storm and sudden cold gusty wind forced the wedding inside.  The staff read the weather well and by the time guests started arriving the whole function was set up inside.

Marle had full control over the design and layout of the theme and decorations.

Veroz’s rooms are very luxurious and helped to create a romantic, plush atmosphere.

For the bride and groom’s photo shoot before the wedding we went to “The Paddock” horse riding academy and snapped a couple of pictures with some horses.  A couple of them turned out quite all right in the end.

Thereafter we scooted off to an unfinished hardware warehouse.  I arranged with the owner beforehand and got some very strange looks: “Why on earth would somebody want to have wedding photos taken in a warehouse?!”  Well, this is why:

It was a very small wedding with about 40 guests in total and the ceremony and reception was held in Veroz’s restaurant area.  It was lovely and extremely intimate.

After the wedding ceremony we did venture out onto the roof for a couple of photographs of the bride and groom.  It was totally dark by then and very difficult to get good looking shots.

Inside we used some of our fast lenses and cranked up the ISO to get some nice shots of what was happening around us.

Veroz definitely has great potential to host your small dream wedding.  Their venue is not the prettiest from outside, but on the inside it matches the best out there.
