When Kate first contacted me about her wedding, I was sold on one word: Newtown.  Not only was Turbine Hall an amazing venue that completely suited Kate and Rupert’s style, but theirs was also the first wedding ever held there! I never thought I’d be able to say I was the first photographer to shoot a wedding at a new venue so early in my career. So I was thrilled that Kate and Rupert asked me to be a part of it. Congratulations, you two! Your wedding was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Isn’t this the most amazing location for a wedding venue?

Kate’s dress was so simple and elegant, but the black sash really gave it some WOW factor.

Being an informal affair, the wedding party and family all walked together across the second floor bridge in Turbine Hall to reach the ceremony area. The sun was in just the right position for me to get this amazing flare.

We only had about fifteen minutes for our creative bridal portraits, but because Kate and Rupert didn’t have an engagement shoot, we’re going to go back to Newtown and do an uber-fabulous Trash the Dress session in a few weeks! Oooh.

Sarah & Adrian’s Wedding

February 8, 2010

Sarah and Adrian got married at the Vaal last Saturday, and I was invited to second shoot by Hannalee Photography. If you live in Gauteng you might remember that that was the weekend of violent storms and flooding (I even got trapped by a flooded intersection on Republic Road near Cresta on the Friday night!), and the Vaal was, well, a lot wider than it should have been. Sarah and Adrian had to rethink their plans of getting married on the banks under the trees, or we would all have needed wetsuits and snorkels! But Sarah and Adrian didn’t let that worry them; the ceremony was moved upshore and they just got on with the most important thing – being happy and in love and getting married! Here are some of my photos from their wedding.

Yes, she had the most gorgeous satin blue heels. I swooned. Then I took a thousand photos.

By the way, I don’t MAKE brides lie down on the grass. But I do ask very nicely. :-) I figured Sarah might be up for it!

Desiree & Warren

Desiree and Warren were married just before New Year at Lucit Restaurant in Pretoria, and we did their creative shoot at the Union Buildings. I was second shooting for Tanya Rudman, who shot for me at Riette and Wouter’s wedding.
