Probably the coldest wedding I have ever shot. Close to sub-zero temperatures, misty plains and some rain to boot. Not something you want your wedding day to be remembered by. However that didn't seem to damper anyone's spirit. Aimee and Sjan were getting married and everyone was ready to celebrate.Although with attitudes like that you can imagine the jokes flying around about the co-incidence of the weather and their wedding date.
Aimee and Sjan though are two very down to earth folk who don't let much get them down. Besides the weather, there was no drama, no hiccups and no issues...
I first met these guys at wedding of their friends Duncan & Nikita which they MC'd. Both were part of the wedding party too, so I got to spend most of the day with them too and straight away I was captivated by their glowing personalities and bright outlook on everything going on around them. They are both outspoken but intimate at the same time, so it goes with out saying how well they match up with each other and the excellent relationship they share. Their love for each other infects everyone around them, which was evident throughout their big day by all the stories I heard and the giant...
Having a little Greek blood in me, on my mother's side, always makes me point my ears up when anything Greece related comes my way. The biggest example would be when Greece won the Euro back in 2004 and for a good few months I walked around telling the world how Greek I was ecstatic that finally everyone could see how powerful the Greeks were! So when Helen contacted me about her wedding and mentioned they were doing a traditional ceremony I was again extremely excited to be part of some of the Greek culture.
Julian and Helen had their ceremony and the very unique and beautiful St Nekatarios...
It seems lately that I am a bit of a rain charmer with nearly all my weddings lately being blessed with torrential downpours. The great thing though about having rain on your wedding day, is all the new creative possibilities you that face you head on, not to mention how much it will test your resolve and calmness. Luckily I have incredibly clients! None more so than Caryann and Paul who took everything in their stride. A day that started with bright golden sunshine quickly turned into cloud burst and brought with it many a slippery surface and puddle ridden gardens.
Luckily for us the amazing...
My final wedding of 2016! Out of the 32 I shot in the year, to end it off with the beautiful nature that these two have was something special that I will always remember. Chris is Brittany aren't what you would traditionally expect form a wedding pair. From our first meeting I felt like I their client and not the other way round. Brittany made me so welcome and kept calling me family, while Chris kept cracking jokes to counter any awkwardness that the camera might have caused. I was so happy to be part of their special day and can honestly say I am better for knowing them.
The day started perfectly...
I sound like a broken record at times, but I have to say it. No matter where your wedding is, or what your wedding looks like, if you surround yourself with the right people you will always have the wedding of your dreams! Kelly & Kerryn did just that. They had the most inviting guests, complete with a savage party instinct including bridesmaids and groomsmen ready to create the perfect atmosphere and couple would die for.
This obviously only came right, because these two have the most incredible down to earth natures. Their attitudes and character are the types that you envy....
I don't often get many Tshwane weddings and its a pity because it really is a beautiful city to shoot in. The beautiful nautical themed wedding was held at a very unique gem in Derdepoort just off the old Zambesi Drive. Zambezi point is an offbeat rustic venue, with loads of opportunity and flare. Perfect for this loving couple.
Christo and Elzahn are two very lovable people with abundant happiness to share. The two share an old school type of love that you don't often find in our fast paced world. They take the time to go out of their way for each other and work towards a relationship...
