Riette and Wouter chose what turned out to be the hottest day of the year for their wedding at the beautiful Shepstone Gardens. Not that they seemed to mind, although I do recall glasses of champagne and juice appearing constantly.  I know I drank more water than I probably ever have in one day. And it was completely worth it!

Thanks to Tanya Rudman for 2nd shooting for me!

Riette looked so beautiful even before her hair was finished; look at her mother’s reaction on seeing her beautiful daughter as a bride:

Yes, Riette’s wedding gown was lilac!

When I told Jade and Craig to be ready at 7:30am it sounded like a good idea. Nice and early, to miss the heat of the day…little did we know we’d picked one of the hottest days of the year! We sweated, fought off flies and I came out looking like a boiled lobster, but somehow Jade and Craig managed to look effortlessly cool in their photos anyway. I love what we got – I can’t wait for your wedding next month, guys!
