Wedding {Kate and JP}

May 16, 2012

Kate and JP’s wedding was the second of my three South African weddings, and it was, true to the fantastic clients I have, an absolute blast. I don’t think Kate stopped laughing the entire day, let alone smiling. They got married at St Peter’s, right opposite Zoo Lake, and we did their couple shoot in a park in Parkview. I had them on the swings, the see-saw, the merry-go-round…I don’t think the day could have been more fun!

I also call this day “The return of the cousins” – Kate, you see, is the cousin of Craig (of Jade and Craig, whose wedding I shot in January 2010), AND Cathy (of Cathy and Sean, from December 2010)! I’m just working my way through the family. :-) I had an amazing time at both those weddings, and this one didn’t disappoint – clearly, this is one awesome family! I’m glad I nabbed them.

One of Kate’s bridesmaids made these shoes for her to wear at the reception!

Snacks for the guests to have on their way to the reception, which was a good hour’s drive in traffic.

Perfume is sooo tedious.

The perfume leap! Kate decided to spray her dress with perfume, and since it was hanging in the rafters, she just jumped.

Coolest thing ever. This is so my kind of crowd. I might have squealed and clapped my hands a bit.

Look, it’s Jade & Craig! The sign they are holding reads “Thanks for the idea, Craig & Jade”, and it was in the cheese wheel cake everyone snacked on while they waited for us. Craig and Jade did the same thing at their wedding!

Lucinda and Rob were married in April, the first of three weddings I went back to South Africa to shoot. They had a lovely relaxed afternoon wedding at the ever-gorgeous Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg, and the pretty vintage chic decor completely blew me away! Belljars and ribbons and birdcages and teacups everywhere! Plus I hardly ever get to shoot outside receptions, so this was an added treat for me. Add to this that Rob and Lucinda are just lovely, sweet people, with wonderful friends and family who made me feel like I was at the party too, and a wonderful time was had by Andre (Andre Sonnekus, who was my excellent assistant shooter for the day) and me. Shooting weddings like this makes my job not seem too much like work :-)

Geoff and Rachel are just the sweetest couple, and I love them to bits. Especially since they took a big chance on me and booked me to shoot their April wedding last year, while I was still in South Africa, promising valiantly that yes, I really was coming to the UK, and I really would be there on their wedding day! Once I finally met up with them one rainy morning in Islington, we got on famously, and I knew their day was going to be just lovely. And, obviously, I was right. Unfortunately no pictures were allowed during the ceremony, but I love the shots I got of Rachel high-fiving everyone as she and Geoff exited the chapel, and the light beaming down on them was AMAZING.

My second shooter for the day was Lizanne Higgs – thanks, Liz!

Onto the pics!

Fresh, Fun and Natural Wedding Photography in London and the United Kingdom by Kat Forsyth Wedding Photographer. I love weddings and anything to do with them, and you're just as likely to hear me squeal in delight when you show me your dress, as you are to see me cry when you say your vows. Yes, it happens. To me, weddings are about two things: love and fun. So these are the two things I try to capture in all my photos! My approach to your wedding day is to capture natural moments as they unfold throughout the day, with a little more direction thrown in for some gorgeous and fun portraits and couple photos. I love beautiful scenery, old walls, broken-down buildings, fields, fun props, and couples who bring their unique personalities to the shoot. I love couples who are excited about their photos and want to have some fun in them! And details...oooh, details. They make my heart sing. So if you have different decor on each of your sixteen tables, you'll find me happily snapping away at ALL of them! I've been a wedding photographer since 2009. I fell into it right after I got married, and I adore it. I'm from Johannesburg, and have shot weddings all over South Africa. Now I'm off on my next big adventure, which is taking over the UK! I'll be arriving in early March 2012, and I'm so unbelievably excited about the theatre, shopping and meeting all my awesome UK wedding-industry friends! I'll be based in North London but I'm happy to travel anywhere for a wedding.
