Christa lived in Taiwan for some time and on their way back, to South Africa one day, she met a group of Spanish men. Very little did she know one of them would be the love of her life, Julian Arriaga Mendoza.

They got married at Lanzerac and it what a blessed sunny day! I hardly get morning weddings to photograph, so I really enjoyed the different light (eventhough it was a bit tricky) Christa was so spontaneous and great fun in front of the camera! Julian was an absolute natural!

I only met Christa the week before the wedding, as she and Julian currently live in Panama. Julian only met me on the day and he was very surprised that the photographer was such a young girl :) (no worries Julian, as I said, I hear that all the time!!) Well I hope the photos show that age doesn’t matter :) And to those of you who are now wondering how old I am…I’m 24.

Thank you for letting me photogrpah your wedding! And enjoy your honeymoon in Disney World!

    Hi Christine
    I LOVE your work!! I check your website about 3 times a week to see all your latest stuff! I’m getting married next year January and already booked another photographer but I’ll definitely book you at one time or another – maybe for a couple shoot sometime or a few years down the line for a family shoot!
    :-)
    This wedding is stunning and exactly the colours of my upcoming wedding – you don’t happen to know who was the florist??
    Keep up the GREAT work!!! You’re an inspiration…

    Hi Christine

    Wow! You really are a talented photographer. We often have a look at your site, and especially enjoy your references to Jasmine Star and some of the other good photogaphers. (you also fit in that category by the way….:-)

    We are also wedding photographers, and it is so rereshing seeing a wedding from someone else’s perspective.

    Keep up your awesome work!
