Tintswalo Atlantic Wedding
Cape Town
Ana & Jorge’s wedding on Valentine’s day was one of the last to be held here – It was the 3rd we have shot at Tintswalo Atlantic. The couple, from Angola, flew all their guests into Cape Town to have their wedding on South African soil. The wedding was coordinated by Karla Oettler of Absolute Collection. Here’s a bit of history of the couple in Ana’s words…
Jorge proposed in Dubai, at Burj Khafila, the tallest building in the world. We went there for the sun rising and I was not expecting it at all. I cried and it was beautiful. He sat close to me and showed me a big box with a ring. I was so happy. We’ve been together since 2007 (it’s been almost 8 years now). We were both born in Portugal but spent most of our lives in Angola. Now we are thinking about moving to Cape Town.
The ceremony was held on the pool deck. Karla covered the pool in order to fit in all 70 guests. This is also where the pre-drinks were done while guests waited for the couple to return from their photos. The reception was held in the restaurant. It was the most beautiful spot under old milk wood trees – a decked area that overlooked the ocean and Houtbay.

Tintswalo Atlantic Wedding, Cape Town
Who would have thought that we would be one of the last to cover a wedding at Tintswalo Atlantic! The venue was burned to the ground this week. A victim of the fires that raged on the Table Mountain Nature Reserve.
Tintswalo Atlantic was set right on the waters edge in Hout Bay, directly opposite the harbour. At the toll gates for Champman’s Peak drive, there is a path that leads down to where the lands meets the see. Right here on the boulders is where the venue was situated. Sunsets at Tintswalo are the best – the stunning silhouettes of The Houtbay Mountain against the orange, purple and pink skies! I really hope they can rebuild this fantastic venue!
This location is a stunning wedding venue for any couples who dream of getting married by the seaside in Cape Town.
