OK, right off the bat I am going to tell you that this is a long post. There were too many photos and I could not choose which ones I liked best. So I guess it is up to you guys to choose.

Rolecia and Leon were the winners of my Bridal Fair "Win your Wedding Photography' competition, and I honestly could not have asked for a more awesome, in love, and super creative couple than these two. I thank my lucky stars that they allowed me to photograph their wedding because it really was incredibly special and different.

The ceremony was conducted by Rolecia's Grandfather in a quaint Port Alfred church, and the reception was held in a gorgeous bedouin tent on the banks of the Kowie river. Rolecia's attention to detail was amazing. You definitely knew it was their wedding, all the way from entering the church to the reception venue. I wish I could show each and every detail from the wedding but that would take days he he he:) Brides-to-be really should draw inspiration from this lovely wedding and see how one can put a unique stamp on everything that you do.

I would just like to thank Rolecia's mom and dad for making me feel completely at home and at ease, and for making the time to show me around :) Your hospitality was appreciated more than you will ever know xxx 

I joined the families at the rehearsal so I think that is a good place to start the story...

Tarryn and Ronaldo

When this dynamic duo contacted me to do a couple photo shoot I was beyond excited. Tarryn is an amazing make-up artist and Rolando a super talented up-and-coming PE photographer... so to be asked was quite an honour.

We headed out to one of my favorite farm locations early in the morning and then finally, FINALLY, I got to use the one prop I had been eyeing out for ages... the old bus! Tarryn and Ronaldo felt at ease in front of the camera straight away, and it was a pleasure working with them. So much of prettiness my new friends xxx

Hope everyone enjoys these photos... and happy Friday the 13th :)

Krystal and Paul

Krystal and Paul's wedding was a lot of things, but most of all it was incredibly-cake-smooshingly-fantastic! This couple had an absolute ball at their wedding. Paul even did a headstand to open their first dance (which was a hip hop routine might I add!).

Even though there was a lot of fun and laughing, I could not help but get the feeling that these two are simply perfect for each other. From their wacky antics to their high fives... they just 'get' each other. It was really wonderful to see and it is an amazing feeling to walk away from a wedding knowing that I have new friends rather than just clients. You guys are awesome :)

Much love xxx
