When two architects fall in love, it's only appropriate that their wedding bears tribute to the design aesthetic they live out in daily life. So it won't surprise you to learn that not only did today's adorable couple, Riette and Steven (who you might recognise from their railway romance engagement shoot, which we featured last year on SBB), tie the knot in a Herbert Baker chapel in the historic town of Cullinan, but that instead of organic flowers, they chose to fill their tables (and Riette's bouquet) with the pleasing paper symmetry of Japanese origami Kusudama flowers. It was the perfect modern touch to their rustic affair, which blended old and new as perfectly as any fine restoration. We're so happy to welcome the delightful As Sweet As Images for their second feature this week - who can resist when you have such prettiness to share!

The Proposal
In December two years ago, we had the pleasure of enjoying one of the most memorable holidays ever in Thailand (this was our first trip together to another country). Every single day was amazing - everything was breathtakingly beautiful and perfect - we enjoyed new food and culture on a daily basis! On the second day, we spent the afternoon on the perfect beaches of Karon soaking up the sun. Later that afternoon, the beach had become quiet and the sun was setting on the horizon, painting the sky a spectacular orange and purple... the next moment Steven was sitting in front of me, blocking out the view, and when I looked down, he had the cutest little deep red apple shaped ring box, opened it up and there it was - a beautiful shimmering diamond ring! The setting was just perfect, by that time the beach was completely deserted with just the two of us and the amazing sunset and ocean backdrop (and Go-Pro to record the moment!) And of course I said yes and happy-cried a bit! A day to treasure forever.
