Well another weekend and another wonderful wedding.  This weekend I was blessed to spend  Saturday with Odette and Andre, who were married at Isiphiwo . Odette looked stunning, a breathtaking bride indeed, and I must say that Andre looked pretty dashing in his suit too : )

The wedding was flawless and photographing Andre and Odette proved to be a pretty easy job.

Thank-you both for sharing your special day with us!

I hope you enjoy the sneak peak at their wedding photos!

The lavender bushes were in full bloom and made for a stunning spot for some of the creative shots.

loved the texture and warmth of the stone walls - couldn’t resist them to be honest ; )

I am back from Botswana and it was absolutely fantastic!!!  No mobile phones, laptops, TV’s and often having to rely on a generator for power - so  you’re pretty much forced to relax.  Well, now that we are back we have hit the floor running at full speed.  Wedding season is indeed here!!!  A few day’s after arriving back from Botswana I was off to the Kruger National Park to photograph the most intimate wedding that I have ever been to.  When I say intimate, I really mean intimate.  It was Alana (the lovely bride), Eric (the dashing groom) and myself.  Alana and Eric, both from Canada,  flew to South Africa for a Safari and wine route wedding and honeymoon.  The wedding took place at Inyati Game Lodge - so as you can imagine, the are a pretty chilled out couple and I felt really honoured to be included in their wedding.

I hope you guys are enjoying the Cape and the wine-tasting ; )

Here are a few photos from the day - enjoy!

I love the light in this image - the sun had just set over the horizon.

Okay, I love the light in this one too!  Yeah, okay - I obviously love African sunsets!

I couldn’t resist posting a few more photos from Yuko and Adam’s wedding.  Here are a few more photos that were taken by the old, well established Jacaranda tree …

I finished Yuko and Adam’s wedding photos this morning.  We did the private shoot amongst the roses with a magnificent Jacaranda tree in full bloom as a backdrop - STUNNING!.  These wedding photos were taken 10 - 15 minutes before the thunder storm started so we had beautiful wrap-around lighting to work in.

Enjoy the photos …

Last weekend I photographed Yuko and Adam’s wedding, which was held at Glenshiel in Westcliff.  Glenshiel is a stunning building which dates back to 1910 (which is pretty old in South African terms).  The ceremony took place in the garden - which was of some concern as there was a 60% chance of rain.  Luckily the ceremony took place just before the sky’s opened, which was great for me as the pre-storm light was perfect for the photographs 

Here are a few photos from the ceremony …
