A Midlands Wedding Full of Emotion and Elegance | Marx Wedding at Hilton College and Haycroft Reception

Capturing the Marx wedding was an absolute pleasure, especially since I had previously photographed the bride’s sister’s wedding. Returning to work with this warm, welcoming family again was a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do as a KZN wedding photographer.

An Emotional Ceremony at Hilton College Chapel

The couple chose to begin their day at the Hilton College Chapel, a place steeped in tradition and personal meaning. As an alumnus of this prestigious South African school, the groom held the chapel close to his heart. The ceremony was deeply emotional, with heartfelt vows and teary-eyed guests — and when the chapel doors opened, the groom’s visible emotion moved everyone in the room.

It was one of those rare moments where time feels like it stands still — a perfect scene for a Midlands wedding photographer to capture love in its most authentic form.

A Scenic Celebration at Haycroft Farm in Howick

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at Haycroft Farm, one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Nestled in the heart of Howick, this location offers rolling green landscapes, rustic charm, and a sense of peace that sets the tone for an unforgettable wedding.

As a Howick wedding photographer, I truly believe Haycroft Farm is one of South Africa’s best wedding venues — ideal for couples who want the perfect balance of elegance, nature, and heartfelt celebration.

The venue provided the most stunning backdrops for the couple’s portraits. From the golden light drifting over the hills to quiet moments beside the water, every shot felt effortlessly romantic. Guests laughed, danced, and reminisced late into the evening — the perfect mix of old memories and new ones being made.

Dancing Under the Midlands Sky

As night fell, the dance floor came alive under twinkling lights. There’s something about Midlands weddings that brings people together in the most joyful way — surrounded by nature, love, and legacy.

It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a reunion, a celebration, and a reminder of how powerful connection and storytelling can be — both in life and through the lens.

Planning a Midlands Wedding in Howick?

If you’re planning a wedding in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and looking for someone to document your story with emotion, authenticity, and artistry, I’d love to be a part of your day.

As a passionate KZN wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing weddings at iconic venues like Haycroft Farm, where natural beauty and emotional moments come together to create something unforgettable.

The reception and couple's shoot at Haycraft featured stunning images against a backdrop of burnt-out fields, providing a unique and beautiful setting.

A standout feature was the dessert table with Russian sweets, a nod to the bride’s mother’s work in Russia. The evening was filled with lively speeches, humour from the groom’s schoolmates, and a memorable father-daughter dance that highlighted their unique bond.

The Marx wedding was a celebration of love, family, and cherished traditions, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.
