The first time I met with Jaco & Elaine, was at their pre-wedding shoot.  Although they came across as very reserved, the striking images of Jaco & Elaine  clearly reflected the strong connection that I sensed between the two of them!  On the wedding day, Elaine looked beautiful, as expected!  When I met with Jaco, his excitement and relief for the day that finally arrived, was clearly  evident. As the wedding day progressed, I witnessed how a man with strong values and a clear vision beholds the adoration of his lover with a love that glorifies God.  The way he looked at her, touched her, talked to her, focused on her and his continued awareness of her, was striking.  You don’t see this often…usually the stress of the day reveals the weaknesses in us, but Jaco’s expression of love and care for Elaine is solidly founded in his faith.  When he did his speech, it all made sense…such a love can only be expressed if it’s truly founded in God, not in man.

Jaco & Elaine, thank you soooo much for entrusting us with your special day, you blessed us!  We are so excited about your future and the amazing plans God has for you!  Live it, love it and spread it!  All our love, Lucinda and Petrus.
