Some of you might remember the free wedding give away I had. Well, here it is. Petra & Barri got married in the Kalahari desert. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!

Petra and Barri told me about their wedding and their farm and what it was going to look like, but never did I imagine such an amazing experience!

I first met Petra when she attended my first workshop. She is also a wedding photographer . (I wish I could link this post to her blog, but she doesn’t have one yet…I suggested she get one asap and she promised me it will be up in the coming year. So keep a look out for Petra’s work.)

So..we arrived on Barri’s parents farm and this is something I have to admit, people from the country side are so friendly! I loved being there. You walk in, meet everyone and all of a sudden you’re part of the family for that weekend. It was awesome! The people, the place and the food, but the best of all was the amazing landscape!

The wedding took place on their farm, on a red sand pan. I don’t even know if that is the right word, but I think it is :) The wedding was literally in the middle of no where! Just to give you an idea, they only started having mobile reception there a few months ago! Seriously! No telephone lines! No electricity… they use a generator. They actually made a joke to say if the world is coming to an end we can just to move there, cause it will take a few more years before it will affect them. :)

Ok, so brace yourself, there are 56 images in the post. If I selected any less than these, it wouldn’t have told the full story and that’s what my photos are all about…telling the story. xox

ps. My second shooter: “Mr i” aka iaan van Niekerk! My fiance!
