It started out as a normal Sunday morning. I had the Saturday off and Sunday was going to be 2d day off, chilling at home, or so I though… But then my phone rang, on the other side was Sacha Waldman, a well known New York based photographer. At first I had no idea what was going on and then he explained to me that his fiancy and he were in Cape Town and they decided that they were going to get married… today
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!
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!
Elsa and Albie have been together for quite some time, but never have they been together for more than a week. Albie works in Polokwane and up and till the wedding Elsa was located in the Western Cape. It was a long distance relationship, but on the 19th of September all of this changed!
What a great wedding to start off my 2009/2010 wedding season!
Over some coffee I asked them why they chose South Africa over Norway and then Lena explained that they loved good food and that when she stayed in Cape Town she’d always walk past Charly’s Bakery. She then said that there was just no place in Norway that made the same delicious chocolate cake as Charly’s Bakery! You’ve got to love that story! Priceless.
There are a few combinations that make amazing photos. One combination would be a couple super in love (and not shy to show it) + great light. This is exactly what I had at Alexé and Raynie’s wedding.
Alexé and Raynie are good friends of mine from church. They decided a few months ago that the 19th of July was going to be their wedding date. They got engaged and from there on they were making plans for their special day (eventhough they did not have any money to pay for anything, they were just trusting that the Lord would provide.)
My gorgeous friends Mel and Chris got married on the 27th of June. You might remember them form a previous post about their engagement shoot or the video I made with my 5DII earlier this year. Mel looked absolutely gorgeous and she was smiling the whole day! I one the other hand, have never cried so much at a wedding in my whole entire life! When I saw her in her dress with her perfect hair and smile I wanted to cry, but I was strong and proceeded to the church where Chris and the boys were waiting.
