As you know by now Iaan and I were very fortunate to visit Mallorca Islands a few weeks ago, while second shooting for Claire Morgan from Austria. The first day in Mallorca Iaan, Claire and I visited Cap Rocat, one of the most impressive venue’s I’ve ever seen! The venue use to be a old military fortress and it was recently converted into a five star hotel.
Early the morning met with all the other service providers, to discuss the flow of Summi & Tassilo’s wedding day. Jeanette from Prime Moment Wedding Co-ordination did all the organizing and all three days was filled by ORF, an Austrian national tv station.
Walking around Mallorca with an iphone in my pocket :)
Iaan and I had the best three days in Palma City! Despite the fact that we don’t speak Spanish and almost missed our flight back, I loved it so much!! Palma is a really great place! The sun was shining all the time and we had ice-cream and mojito’s every day, which made me really happy! The city has the most beautiful cathedral and some cute shops. The first day in the city, we took a trip on the red bus to get a sense of direction and then we just walked through the streets, taking some pictures and popping into a few stores.
We’ve been having so many good times here in Europe! Last weekend iaan and I shot a wedding in Mallorca Islands, which was so gorgeous! The island was tropical with amazing weather. I also shot a wedding in Munich under the Alps the past weekend and now I’m preparing for the Munich workshop, which starts on Wednesday. So loads of photos still to come :)
There I was sitting nervously trying to remember the questions I wanted to ask Carmen & Ingo and I din’t look up to see iaan’s anxious waving hand, trying to tell me I’m already live on KIKI TV! So, if you want to see the absolute failing start to our first KIKI TV show from Europe, you have to watch this one :)
When I packed for Europe I decided to leave all my film cameras behind. I went all digital for this trip. Only the iphone (serving the purpose of a polaroid and small point and shoot) and then the big SLR’s. The first day our friends Julia and Nik showed us around Munich and I snapped a few photos with my iphone. I love the instant editing on the iphone!! :) My favourite iphone app is CrossProcess! If you own a iphone, you have to get it!
The past few weeks were crazy. Actually, crazy is an understatement! Seriously so much happened, I thought I wasn’t going to make it. My mind was constantly thinking of so many things, things that had to be done, things that I had to remember, things I had to pack, things I had to organize, I ended up having lists of list. And I wanted to blog about everything, but there was just no time.
Finally here I am. Sitting in Carmen & Ingo’s apartment in München, writing a blog post. I feel like I’m in a movie with a European backdrop. Tying away with a view of all the apartments around us. It’s actually surreal!
Last week I had the privilege to meet Demi & Mario. They are a fabulous couple from Bloemfontien, who have booked me for their wedding later this year. They were down in Cape Town for a little break and so we did their engagement shoot here in the forrest, in Stellenbosch. Lovely lashes, lovely smiles, super sweet! x
Lila & Johan’s wedding is one I’ve been looking forward to, the whole season. I met the couple a few months ago, when they told me about their big day. They explained to me that their wedding was going to take place on Johan’s family farm in Riekeek Kasteel and the details was going to be a combination of warm colours (as we approached winter in May). Within the decor was going to be some fruit from their farm, namely Pomegranates, pears & grapes. Now that sounded deliciously gorgeous to me :)
If you haven’t seen part one, see it here.
