Mari + Hennie {11 April 2015}

I love weddings; that's no secret - all that prettiness and love is hard to resist.  But my favourite part of the day has to be the vows and speeches: its then that you see beyond the "pretty" and get a glimpse of the couple's hearts.  This wedding is then by far, the most beautiful that I have ever experienced.  Mari is truly gorgeous, inside and out.  The love that this couple have for each other, for their friends, for life... it was such an honour to share their day with them. 

A special mention: the jewelry (pendants, cufflinks and bride's hair pins) were all made by the bride herself!  And if she wasn't busy enough with that, she and the groom hand-made wooden boards for each guest as a thank-you gift.  Just more evidence of the love they have for their friends!

A for Awesome; E for Ethan...

So this is Ethan... and his gorgeous family who are about to leave the beautiful Mother City for Jozi.  It seemed only appropriate to have a beach shoot with the mountain as the backdrop - and wow, did Cape Town show off with the best of the Autumn sunshine! And I must just add, Ethan took quite a liking to the giant sandpit his Mommy & Daddy "arranged" for him... not too sure who is going to break the news that Jozi doesn't quite have the same giant sandpits...
