Some events are just pure magic to photograph, and Gisèle’s kitchen tea at the stunning Steenberg Golf Club was no exception. With a pink floral theme that felt like stepping into a whimsical garden, every detail of the day was breath-taking. From delicate décor elements to joyful moments shared between friends and family, this celebration was a true delight to capture.

The moment I arrived at the venue, I was greeted by a stunning display of elegance and charm. The tables were adorned with exquisite floral arrangements in soft pinks and whites, accented with gold details that added a touch of sophistication. Beautifully crafted name cards, delicate china, and soft candlelight created an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy. It was evident that every element of the setup was carefully thought out, making it an absolute dream to photograph.
And then, there were the cakes—true works of art! From delicate floral designs to elegant tiered creations, each cake looked almost too beautiful to eat. The dessert table was a showstopper, featuring everything from delicious custard tarts to intricate lemon meringues served in glasses, all in keeping with the pink floral theme. Capturing these details in soft, natural light brought out the artistry of each confection.
One of the highlights of the day was an interactive experience hosted by Lipped, a company that allowed guests to create their very own custom lipsticks. Watching the excitement on everyone's faces as they mixed and blended their perfect shade was so much fun to document. Guests carefully selected colours, experimented with different hues, and laughed as they tested their creations—making for some incredible candid moments. This activity was such a unique and thoughtful addition to the event, adding an extra layer of personal touch to an already memorable day.
Beyond the beautiful decor and unique experiences, what truly made this kitchen tea special was the love and joy that filled the room. From laughter-filled conversations to heartfelt toasts, every moment was brimming with emotion. I loved capturing Gisèle’s radiant smile as she embraced her closest friends, the way guests admired each other’s custom lipsticks, and the soft, sentimental moments shared between Gisèle and her loved ones.
Photographing events like this reminds me why I love what I do. Being able to freeze these fleeting moments in time—ensuring that every detail, every laugh, and every heartfelt embrace is remembered—is such a privilege. Gisèle’s kitchen tea was a picture-perfect celebration of love, friendship, and beauty, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.
