As I mentioned before, June was quite a crazy month for me. And now I just realized I totally forgot to blog the interview Sarie did with me in their June edition. Sarie did an article about Social Media and they asked to interview me about how I use it in my business. Social media is something I totally believe in and it’s something that has meant allot for me in my business.
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.
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 :)
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!
