The past two weekends I’ve experienced a very rare thing in any wedding photographer’s life. An OFF weekend. Yes, really! I didn’t have a wedding and I took a off weekend! The best thing that could have happened to me!
Two weekends ago Adri and I drove through to Lizelle’s family farm in Caledon. Lizelle invited us for a delicious South Afican braai (barbecue). We sat in the sun, drove around on the farm and just chilled out.
As you know I specialize in wedding and portrait photography and I’m not quite sure if “corporate stock photography” falls into that category, but I’m always up for a challenge!
Candle lit dinner with banquet style tables and photos in magical gardens are what Janelle and Bruce had in mind! And it happened just like that! Janelle and Bruce currently live in the UK, but they decided to come home and spend their big day with friends and family on Langverwagt estate.
One of the things that really stood out for me on the day was the “special friends” Janelle asked to walk in before her and her bridesmaids. What a great idea! As a bride you probably can’t ask all your close friends to be a bridesmaid, but Janelle still made them feel special, by giving them a part of the ceremony. Beautiful!
What is more yummy than chocolate? Kanya Hunt phoned me a few weeks ago and asked if I was up for a challenge… She wanted to do a shoot around chocolate.
So this time it was my turn to be in front of the camera…And now I understand what all my clients must feel like when I come up right in their faces with my 50mm :) But it’s always worth it!
Since the launch of my site I’ve been promising a free give away. Well here it is….I’m giving away a free wedding shoot anywhere in the world!
Estelle and Pieter’s wedding just had that extra little bit of “specialness”! It was a farm wedding, in style!
Louise and Arthur has had the most amazing holiday the past 2 months, something I would love to do! They have been traveling the world! And a part of their travels was to get married on the beach in Cape Town, South Africa. A true destination wedding! And what better place than beautiful Oudekraal beach just past Camps bay. Louise and Arthur are from Australia and they said that Cape Town by far was the most beautiful of all the places they saw the past few months! I aggree!
Who would have thought the 26th of September would be a rainy day in Cape Town? I don’t think anyone did, but it sure was! I was however very very lucky, I had a morning wedding that day.
Ross arrived with his helicopter a few hours before the wedding, as the weather was turning dark and grey. I was just in time to catch the landing!
