This wedding, like any other, has it’s own story. I love stories! And that’s probably the one thing I love the most about photography; the ability to tell stories. I’m a visual person and the fact that I can put images together to tell a story, makes me happy. One day I’d love to combine great words and awesome grammar, with fabulous images, but for now I’m sticking to images :)
Yesterday I did something I’ve never done before…I posted a ‘I don’t feel that well’ update on Facebook and within minutes there were so many comments!!! Thank you to every person who commented and share something with me that made my day! So if you feel bad and need inspiration here is a little something for you!
Abi and James visited South Africa a few weeks ago to meet all the service providers for their up and coming wedding in December. While they were here, it was the perfect time to do an engagement shoot for them. Abi and James chose the Houtbay harbor in Cape Town. The fun colours and boats made for some fun and relaxed photographs. Photographing these two was a pure joy, as they smiled all the way!

This is part 2 of Michelle and Dawid’s wedding….for part 1 click here.
A gorgeous Canadian girl. A beautiful dress. A pretty smile. A wonderful location. A South African prince charming and two ‘i do’s'… A recipe for a fairytale day. And so it was. Michelle and Dawid celebrated the biggest day in their lives at Webersburg Estate a few weeks ago.
I could tell by their engagement story that Steven is a very romantic guy! For every anniversary they would take turns in who organizes the event for that year. The tenth year was Steven’s turn, and it being the 10th anniversary, Steven knew this was the year he was going to propose. So he organized a trip away to Hawaii. He wrote a note, to ask her if she would marry him and stuck it in a wine bottle. Then he phoned a helicopter company and asked them to take them on a trip over the volcanos. Before the trip, he asked the pilot to hide the bottle on a private beach. At this stage Janaine still didn’t know anything!

Lene and Henk’s wedding was one of those that seem like it’s out of a fairytale! The two of them are PERFECT for one another and everything around their day was perfect too. Previously you might have read that one of my favourite colours is white. Well, when I walked into their reception venue all I saw was white AWESOMENESS. I kinda freaked out. It was just so gorgeous! Their wedding decor was combinations of white and cream elegance! Something any photographer would dream of! And then to top it all, Lene and Henk are just fabulous people. It was a pure joy to photograph their wedding.
