I have the huge honor & privilege of knowing the very talented Adii. A super famous South African Entrepreneur, the co-founder of WooThemes and as he mentions on his site: the general creator of Rockstar Awesomeness!
I met Adii a few years ago and since then iaan and I have become friends with him and his beautiful fiance Jeanne. I’ve done a few shoots for Adii as well as his company WooThemes, but when he asked me to shoot his wedding I was super excited! Adii and Jeanne are two every down to earth individuals. They love a great dinner and spending time together. When we planned their engagement shoot I suggested a kitchen and something fun. So the whole shoot was done around the idea of making a smoothie together. So simple, but so much fun and so much opportunity to get some gorgeous images of the two of them.
When I do engagement shoots or any other shoots I love to see the couple’s personality being reflected in the photos. That’s what it’s all about. Capturing “them” on a photo. I want to capture those little laughs and expressions. The ones you see in your partner daily. No cheesy grins or camera smiles…the real you.
I have to thank Adii for booking this awesome venue through Amazing Spaces. Working in a place with good light and great interior is always a bonus! Another big thank you to Sanmarie for doing some fabulous hair and makeup for Jeanne.
After the smoothies we had a bit more fun :) Here are my favorites of the day…

Seriously, you guys have the best. “Amazing Spaces” is awesome! I have to look for places like this here in the eastcoast!
Those are some very nice photographs I must say. Wonderful light as mentioned. Excellent candid shots really. (I know my replies are becoming a bit repetitive)
Like the idea of choosing a kitchen space. Well done.
These shots are just stunning. I mean, the composition, colors and processing are just perfect, but what strikes me the most is the light. What did you do to create such beautiful soft light?! Or just AL without any bouncers and thelike?
Christine…dis soooooo mooi!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Awesome!! Those collages are the best!
These are really cute, I love the idea of getting them to do something together… especially with the ingredients which look so great!
