I was super thrilled when Casey contacted me about photographing her beautiful new collection Jeannelle la Amour, not only because I love her dresses (everything she creates is out-of-this-world-amazing) but she is also a lovely person and super fun to work with. The dresses, oh the dresses!!! Casey you have outdone yourself once again!! Future brides enjoy – this one’s for you <3
Our incredible creative team for the day: The amazing Charelle of ‘Make-up by Charelle‘, super talented Wes of The Shank Tank (trust me – you want to see this video) and of course our gorgeous Models: Simone Welf, Sasha Lee Boshoff and Hughnique Cawood.
We started our day at the crack of dawn with a 2 hour drive out to the beautiful Hartford House in the Midlands (one of my favourite venues). The Hartford House family and especially Leigh Willson could not have been more helpful and friendly throughout the day – they made it so easy for us – Thanks guys! Seriously if you are getting married and still looking for the perfect venue, you need to check Hartford out!
With a style, elegance and custom fit unlike no other, Casey Jeanne is quickly becoming South Africa’s leading couture go-to woman. Known as the lady with the ‘magic hands’, she now brings us her first retail bridal collection accessible to all brides, called Jeannelle la Amour. A tribute to her French-born, orphaned grandfather who was adopted during the war and moved to South Africa; Casey stays true to her French-South African heritage.
It’s all about the finer details, and of course great fit. Each piece has a story and every bride connects with that in some way and creates a story of her own.
This bridal season be captivated by the delicate touch of handmade lace tattoos and intricate beadwork, inspiring a new vision of timeless elegance and what it means to be a bride. Jeannelle la Amour by Casey Jeanne encapsulates the sophistication and magic of wedding gowns, whilst captivating those of truly romantic heart.
A demi-couture approach to this undeniably feminine 2015 bridal gown collection (and accessories) offers the luxury and indulgence of a hand crafted couture garment incorporating the intricacies of traditional couture techniques, but with the ease and convenience of buying a ready-to-wear wedding gown at an affordable cost.
Selected gowns are available in plus sizes as well as different colour shades. All gowns from the collection are hand crafted in Durban, South Africa and are shipped all around the world.
Beautiful photos beautiful dresses!
