Bosjes Chapel of Steyn Studio In #SouthAfrica possesses a stunning, sculptural form that emulates the surrounding mountains in a remote part of South Africa. Designed by @steynstudio and opened to public in 216, The undulating building is further emphasized by means of a strategically placed reflecting pool. The edge profile and roof shape is a modern interpretation of the baroque "holbol" gable, with a combination of outward and inward curvatures that result in a series of peaks and valleys within the roof itself.

Couples have fallen in love with Bosjes since it was opened to the public in 2016, and it’s clear to see why. The glass-walled chapel features a unique curved roof, making it appear as it the building rests on the body of water. It was designed by Steyn Studio and is inspired by Psalm 36:7

The amount of joy on Jochemus & Carmia's face is just priceless! ⁠ ⁠ I love what Carmia wrote as a caption when she posted some of her pictures online: ⁠ ⁠ 'the happiest day of our lives – to us – should be shared with those closest to us. With those who have contributed to and shared in our journey in becoming husband and wife'⁠ ⁠ "And so it turned out only a life similar to the life of those around us, merging with it without a ripple, is genuine life, and that an unshared happiness is not happiness.”⁠ ⁠ So when you're putting together a guest list – invite the people that shaped you individually & collectively – share the love and have one majestic celebration! ⁠ ⁠ #kikitography2019 #allyouwitness #liveforthestory #bothabosjesbruilof #bosjeswedding #bosjes #photobugcommunity #junebugweddings #sawedding #southafricanweddingphotographer #momentsmatter #tribearchipelago
