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? ;)

Little Layla

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 :)

Its A Boy!

Simone and Quintis just had the most gorgeous little boy, Berto. Ten fingers, ten toes, and the cutest face you have ever seen! He almost makes me want one of my own :)

In honour of his arrival, here are the photos from the preganancy shoot we did just before he arrived... we had such fun! Congrats Simone en Quintis... ek dink aan julle!

Zach is back...

And he was kind enough to bring the family along :)

After Roseann and Ash asked me to photograph their family, I could not contain my excitement, and I can't wait to share these photos with all of you!

The beautiful morning turned overcast and drizzly whilst we were on the beach, but it was OK because we had Zach's smile to warm us up. This munchkin is a laugh a minute!

Happy viewing...

The Ellis Family

The most incredible warm feeling overcomes me when I look at these photos. It was a seriously hectic hour that I spent with the Ellis family, but the results really show what an awesome and loving family they are. Plus, no amount of running, jumping, and crouching is ever too much for me - so it turned out to be the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning! Rather don't ask about Saturday afternoon because the normal afternoon snooze became a rest-of-the-day snooze :)

So, the scene was set: Franci and Brett, three children - Emma, Robyn, and Andrew, Gogo (Granny) and Bumpa (Grampa), one gorgeous seaside venue, and a fixed lens (no, not because I am crazy, because its an awesome lens!!!).

3...2...1... let the games begin!

I put my back out running around after everyone, initially with my backpack on just in case I needed anything! But it was so worth it in the end :)

Flowers 'n Bugs

PE gave us a mix of all seasons this weekend, from really windy and cold, to overcast and drizzly but warm, to sunny, and then some more wind. Very strange... but I was armed with my NEW CANON 7D (yaaaaaay!) and I really didn't care. I got the chance to do another shoot with Zach and family on Sunday morning, and we all had so much fun - which resulted in a really great concept for parents and couples that I will launch on the blog within the month - so keep an eye out for that!

There is something so beautiful and refreshing about heading out to the beach on weekend mornings. Nothing can beat it! I'm normally out with families/couples by 07h15 (yes, AM) because the light is so beautiful and the wind is usually quite mild. By the time I get home it feels as if I have experienced a whole day already!

So, in between washing the sand of my feet and downloading the morning's photos, I glanced outside and saw that the drizzle had ceased and the sun was making an appearance. What better way than to use gorgeous light than to go photograph a few flowers and bugs... happy Monday!

Warning: this post involves some humping bugs so lets just call it PG13 :)
