My Wedding photography
at La Plaisir Estate near Franschhoek
Weddings at La Plaisir have quickly captured my heart as a photographer. The mountain backdrop, the open fields filled with sunlight and the beautiful archtecture all equal one thing: cinematic imagery.
Lying just outside Franschhoek, La Plaisir Estate sits quietly between mountain ranges and vineyards, offering a sense of escape without ever feeling remote. The drive in already feels cinematic — streaking lines of vineyards, oak-lined roads, and beautiful mountain! It’s a location that holds both intimacy and scale.
What defines the imagery of the weddings at La Plaisir Estate’s is its openness and flexibility. Their expansive lawns, layered gardens, and pockets of nature feel almost curated for artful imagery. The open stretches of green flanked by old trees and the mountain make natural scenes rolling out toward the mountains. The mountain itself is west-lying – which means it blocks the harsh evening light while still making space for the soft glow of Golden hour.
And then there’s the architecture. The thoughtful blend of old and new buildings give the estate its character. If you’re planning a modern or more elegant wedding, this space will cater to it. The older buildings and winery spaces carry a sense of heritage, while newly reimagined reception spaces blur the lines between interior and exterior making it more contemporary and design-forward. It’s this contrast, between history and modernity, natural and crafted that makes getting married at La Plaisir feel quietly distinctive.
