Cwayita and Vuyani

Cwayita and Vuyani's outdoor engagement shoot was put in jeopardy after the wind in PE picked up to about 40kms - luckily my plan B was to photograph them at the recently renovated Kind Edward Hotel... and I can safely say the hotel is out of this world gorgeous! The old world elegance mixed with modern design perfectly complimented Cwayita and Vuyani who are seriously vibey and classy (good combination!). Watch out for their wedding photos coming up in March! Good luck with all the planning you two xxx

The Witbooi Family

A few months back, Abby asked me to photograph her three nephews... triplets! Although born prem, we got together once they were out of hospital and took a few quick snaps, inviting the rest of the family along. They were so tiny and frail that we couldn't spend too much time outdoors, but made the most of the time we had :) These three little ones and their cousin are such a gift and they really touched my heart xxx

Angela and Trevor's Wedding - Part 2

And I proudly present part 2 of this amazing wedding... :)

Angela and Trevor's Wedding - Part 1

Yaaaaay! I finally get to share these amazing photos with everyone, and I am so proud of the fact that my first wedding turned out so brilliantly (it actually makes me quite emotional!). Thanks for having faith in me Angie and Trevor :)

However... there are too many for just one post so I'll keep you in one day of suspense until the second post explodes onto the blog tomorrow morning at 08h00am with stunning couple photos.

Angela and Trevor's Engagement Shoot

I did a photo shoot with Angela and Trevor the week before their wedding and to go through the whole process of camera-shy-to-comfortable with the couple made me realise how important it is to get yourself used to a camera before the big day. Working with the couple for their wedding photos was a breeze after they got to know me through the engagement shoot. So, advice for brides... book an engagement shoot or select a package with a built in engagement shoot - it really makes a difference in the end!

Angie brought along her horse for the shoot and, although seriously crazy, the horse was cool to work with and became quite a feature in a lot of the photos :) Angie and Trevor are such an amazing couple and I can't wait to share their wedding photo's with everyone!

The Crystal Ball

**chuckle**

I know I have been a bit scarce of late, but working at a feverish pace to get wedding photos processed before I ship out to Botswana and Johannesburg.

Coming up before the great trek on Sunday... The Pinnock Family, Angela and Trevor's engagement photos, and (if all goes to plan) Angela and Trevor's wedding pics!

Will she get it done... oh yeah! Who needs sleep anyway? ;)

Happy New Year everyone! May this year be the most spectacular to date, filled with love, laughter, good times... and good food! I'm really so excited to get going on this year as an established pro photographer - something I could only dream of in previous years. 2011 is going to be a lot of work, but one that I know will pay dividends far in excess of my wildest dreams... and I wish the same for each and every one of you! Thanks so much for your support throughout 2010 and I look forward to meeting a lot more of you :)

So, which post could kick off a New Year better than one filled with photos that make me smile every time I look at them. I hope they will do the same for you :)
