Venue of the month – Babylonstoren

Its the month of love, and we show our respects to a venue of choice in Cape Town.

Babylonstoren, a Cape Dutch farm, at the foot of the Simonsberg mountain, between Paarl and Franschoek.

One of the 3 function areas on this farm is a wedding in the incredible house of Shadows. Which serves as a Clivia Greenhouse in the Babylonstoren nursery. The harsh and graphic shadows and the incredible Simonsberg Mountains makes for some pretty epic photographs.

We love pictures perfectly captures this wedding. More images here:  http://welovepictures.co.za/babylonstoren-wedding/ 

Or opt for the outside ceremony in its exceptional organic gardens surrounded by original and historic Cape Dutch farm houses. Its magnificent garden that is laid out over 3.5 hectars, it is divided into 15 sections that comprise fruit, vegetables, berries, bees for pollinating, indigenous plants, fragrant lawns, a prickly pear maze, ducks and chickens, and more. The garden also boasts a plethora of trees of historical and botanical import.

Again, We love pictures photography manages to catch our eye with this incredibly gorgeous wedding at Babylonstoren.
