A Riverside Setting Made for Love Stories
Forevermore Moments is tucked along the tranquil Blesbokspruit at the foot of the Suikerbosrand mountains. It feels peaceful and secluded, yet it is close enough for guests to reach easily.
The venue’s magic is its atmosphere. Willow trees frame the riverbank, soft lawns stretch to the water’s edge, and golden light filters through the branches in late afternoon. The gardens are carefully maintained but still feel natural, alive and real.
By night, strings of fairy lights transform the space into something cinematic. The lapa glows softly while laughter and music drift through the air. The balance between nature and warmth is what makes Forevermore Moments feel effortlessly romantic.

Ceremony and Reception Spaces
Every area at Forevermore Moments feels intimate and personal. The riverside chapel sits beneath tall willow trees beside the river. The sound of flowing water and rustling leaves adds calm and emotion to the ceremony. The light here is beautiful all day, especially late afternoon when the sun filters through the trees.
Receptions unfold in the fairy lit lapa and garden area. Wooden accents, gentle lighting, and open sides make it feel welcoming and romantic without being overly formal. It is a space where guests linger, relax, and enjoy the evening as the sun sets over the water.
Indoors, the cozy hall serves as a backup for rainy days and a warm gathering spot for intimate receptions. The exposed beams, natural tones, and soft lighting make it perfect for smaller celebrations or late night dancing.
The on site bridal suite is ideal for getting ready or staying over. Many couples enjoy a quiet morning there the next day with coffee and breakfast, reflecting on their day.

Photography Opportunities
As a wedding photographer based just 7 minutes away, I have photographed many weddings at Forevermore Moments, and each time I find new light, new reflections, and new magic in the same familiar spaces.
It feels different in every season. In summer, everything is vibrant and green. In winter, the riverbank glows warm gold at sunset. The willow trees, the reflections on the water, and the soft afternoon light create a dream setting for timeless portraits.
Golden hour here is truly special. The light wraps around the couple and dances on the river. My favorite moments are when the sun touches the horizon and everything feels still for a second. That is when the best photographs happen.
Every direction offers a beautiful frame, the river for romance, the lawns for movement, the lapa lights for intimacy. It is a photographer’s dream because it allows real moments to unfold naturally in good light.

Why I Love Photographing Here
I have photographed more weddings at Forevermore Moments than I can count, and every single one feels unique.
It is not just the location, it is the feeling. The calm before the ceremony as the river flows quietly in the background. The way light filters through the willows and hits the couple at the right angle. The relaxed smiles of guests as they gather under the lapa lights.
Forevermore Moments brings out genuine emotion. Couples let their guard down here. Families laugh more. The whole day feels authentic and unhurried. That is what makes it such a joy to capture.
As someone who knows every angle, reflection, and rhythm of this venue, I can anticipate how to make your day look its best. Whether we are shooting beside the river or in the soft twilight under the lights, I will guide you naturally so your photos feel true to you.
