Railway Romance Couple Shoot by As Sweet As Images

There's just something about the railway, isn't there? It's that sense of old world style romance, I think. I've always adored them (minus my five years of endless commuting to Oxford, to be fair), and one day I would just love to do an Orient Express-style railway journey of epic proportions. Well, that old world romance also made the train yard a gorgeous backdrop for this adorable couple shoot by the fab As Sweet As Images. With Riette's lace dress and Steve's vintage blazer as a stylish nod to yesteryear, you can almost imagine them heading off on their honeymoon travels on the Grand Tour of Europe.
The lovely Amy of As Sweet As Images sent over Riette and Steve's 'architectale' (so cute!):
We both started our degrees in Architecture at the University of Pretoria in 2004 but only really became good friends during our second year. I was a very quiet, shy girl at that time still - Steven came to the rescue on day one of our second year by helping me find and set up a drawing board in studio (I would have been lost without him!) and from there on we were good friends and close studio buddies, attending classes together and working on designs and projects.
He would always help and inspire me so much to do better, I really enjoyed his company - there was just something about this guy that I REALLY liked :) We completed our BSc(Arch) degrees and I went off to work for 2 years while Steven continued with his Honours in Architecture after a year of practical during that period.
Early in 2009 we met again for some drinks one evening and from there on we just could not stop talking.
We were inseparable. Steven completed his Masters in Architecture that year, in between all the dates - I sure was one proud girlfriend!
