Shoana and Chris were married last weekend on their family’s plot in Northvale, near Krugersdorp. A more relaxed bride I’ve never seen (“You can’t find my shoes? Ok, I’ll just walk barefoot then!”), and a more fun family, helping out with every little detail, would be hard to find! When I arrived with my 2nd shooter Mandy, the guys were cutting grass and cosmos for the table centrepieces, the flowergirls were decorating the cupcakes, and the ring-bearers were putting out homemade fortune cookies on the tables. It was wonderful. The ceremony took place in an area cleared of long grass, and we took Shoana and Chris’ portraits right there in the veld. The skies remained sunny for the ceremony, and then the gigantic stormclouds blew up right in time to get some amazing sky shots. Perfection!

Shoana & Chris: Backyard Wedding with a Difference
March 16, 2010Coming soon: Shoana and Chris
March 15, 2010Jani and SJ at Irene Country Lodge
March 11, 2010A few months ago I asked Centurion-based photographer Kim Welsford if I could second shoot with her sometime, and she came back to me with this wedding, which we shot in February. I love working with other photographers and seeing how they do things. It’s all too easy to get stuck in your own ways without even realising it. Jani and SJ were such fun, even willing to lie down in the fly- (and goodness knows what else) infested grass so we could get our gorgeous shots of them! Thanks, Kim, for having me along.
I barely ever get a great sunset…well, this one was gorgeous and I didn’t let it go to waste!
