Meet Big Ben


Big Ben. Gentle, big, and friendly. Add in Kayla, crazy-beautiful and horse-obsessed. And then the most móst beautiful black dress, designed and made by the talented and sweetest Carmen, from CW Couture. We all came together one sunny afternoon and I did what I love most. Created some photos!


Big Ben is living his best life as part of the Equine Adventures team. If you have not heard of them yet, go check them out! Based just outside Haenertsburg, they offer the most amazing horsemanship workshops, overnight wilderness trails, equine-facilitated personal development & leadership coaching, and so so much more. In a nutshell, they put the well-being of their horses first and we get to learn from these amazing animals! I got to meet Big Ben (and some of all the other amazing horses) when Scott, my then 4-year old, started with some horse riding lessons (more like horse-loving lessons). Big Ben and his friends are truly the calmest and trust worthiest horses I have ever met. It's so easy to love them and appreciate them for the amazing animals they are.


Big Ben is also available for photoshoots. You don't even need a knight, Big Ben is a stud on his own. I can just imagine a little horse-obsessed girl doing a shoot with him. Or for weddings. Or Matric farewells. That's where Carmen from CW Couture comes in. If you are looking for a dress, be it for a wedding, photo session, matric dance, or any occasion really, she is the most PERFECT person to design and create. You'll fall in love with her sweetness from the moment you will meet her - guaranteed. Can't wait to work more with this insanely talented designer.
