Lots for family and friends traveled from the UK and across South Africa to participate in the wedding celebration; country-style decor, an effervescent bride in a Grecian dress and a dapper looking groom.  We were all set for a cosy and intimate wedding par-tay!

Ronel (South African) and Bader (UAE) meet when their paths crossed, a couple of years ago, while Bader was visiting Cape Town for business.  Rumor has it that Bader’s heart instantly melted the moment he saw Ronel and her puppy dog eyes  It was a fantastic experience to spend the day with this wonderful couple and their totally rockstar bridal party!!!!

12 Apostles are really a top notch venue that totally met and exceeded our expectations; what a wonderful venue!

African weddings are my most favorite weddings mostly because they are filled with celebration and jubilation.  Set against the blue waters of False Bay and the mountains, Lydia and Sithombo exchanged vows…it was perfect.  We were treated to dancing and the sweet melodies of a marimba band.

Big thanks to Nick Coyne (2nd shooting) and FJS Production (video) for making this a fantastic wedding collab.

I was introduced to the Maria & Norberto via a friend.  This would be my 2nd ever Portuguese wedding, so I was thrilled by the opportunity of capturing the family interactions and their celebratory manner.

Maria & Norberto spoke with such respect and love for each other…it was moving.

Alan is an ex-pat living in the UK and just had to bring Ali over to Cape Town for their ceremony…and there was no better place than Table Mountain for them!

It is on this note, that I present Naazneen & Mo’s wedding.  It’s my first opportunity to participate in a Muslim wedding celebration. Despite only being involved from the creative session to the reception, I am honored to have been witness to their community and culture. Another facet of the day was Naazneen’s contribution to the creative process….I love brainstorming with clients. It keeps both parties inspired and  excited.

This is a story of a South African princess, working in the UK and meeting a French prince in a car park and falling in love =) So totally in love that they decide get married at Meerendal.
The charming prince surprises her princess with an iPod,loaded with sentimental music, that says “Play Me”….She cries.  News from afar is that the princess’ mother is ill and is unable to attended the wedding…there are more tears.

The princess waits anxiously at the alter while the princess walks down the aisle (all smiles). The photographers befriends the priest and gets relegated to the back of the church…good times!

The prince and princess declare their day a celebration and encourage their guests to jump for joy in their (jumping) castle…you heard me right! The prince and princess also treated their guests with a fire-juggling-act!

Although Robyn and Mark have hectic schedules as doctors, they seem to make time for each other and their mates!  They are total lovebirds and adventure junkies and I loved the stories that were told about them during the speeches!

Thank you guys for making the World a happier place!
