Dream Bridal Gowns You’ll Fall In Love With
Drawing on the romance and beauty of a dream bridal gown, this stunning styled shoot brings to life the magic of love. The mastermind behind the enchanting display is Candice Kuit, a talented hair and makeup artist who shares her insight into how the vision unfolded.
Cape Town Makeup Artist
Thirteen years ago, I made the bold decision to return to my hometown in Cape Town, South Africa. Upon my return in September 2021, I dedicated myself to fashion and television commercial (TVC) work, leveraging my extensive background in bridal makeup that spans over a decade. Since 2008, I’ve been working full-time as a makeup artist.
Recognizing the importance of networking in a new market, I knew I had to collaborate with influential players in Cape Town’s industry and create an unforgettable photoshoot to captivate the audience.
Wedding Photographer
I recall being impressed by the work of several photographers before stumbling upon Div Maritz’s portfolio. What resonated with me most was the genuine sincerity that radiates from his images, exuding a sense of heartfelt storytelling. This authenticity ultimately led me to choose Div Martiz as my go-to photographer for the concept I had in mind. After reaching out, he enthusiastically agreed to collaborate, despite being a busy individual.
It took us a few months to finalize a date, but once settled, we were ready to bring our vision to life.
Bridal Features
In my previous work with Faith Giesler, I discovered she possessed a refreshingly wholesome quality that would be perfect for a bridal model. As fate would have it, Faith stepped in at the eleventh hour to save the day and we’re eternally grateful for her timely intervention. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Faith for her invaluable contribution.
Stunning Bridal Gowns
I was drawn to Once Worn Bridal Boutique’s innovative approach to sustainability, which not only plants a tree for every dress sold but also takes bee preservation to the next level in 2023. As part of their commitment to environmental stewardship, they dedicate a portion of their sales to cultivating indigenous plants that support bee populations. These tiny creatures play a vital role in our global food system, pollinating up to 75% of our crops.
It was a pleasure working with Jacelyn and Shannon, who epitomized professionalism, enthusiasm, and warmth. After consulting with them, we settled on two exquisite gowns from local designer Rosa Karoo Bridal.
Franschhoek Wedding Venue
The choice of location for this shoot was influenced by a previous stay at Franschhoek Country House and Villa, where the enchanting garden left a lasting impression. Its nostalgic charm reminded me of a secret garden, and I couldn’t wait to capture its beauty on camera. Luckily, Juanita at Franschhoek Country House was more than accommodating, ensuring our comfort as we braved the winter chill to bring the photos to life by spring’s arrival.
