A Christmas Wedding at Petersham Nurseries {Niki & Andrew}

January 15, 2013

Christmas trees, fairy lights, glass conservatories, a vintagey Christmas Market, and a couple so in love they couldn’t stop smiling and kissing…that was Niki and Andrew’s wedding in a nutshell.  Petersham Nurseries was the perfect spot for this intimate wedding – no seating plans, no plated meals, no speeches, no garter and bouquet toss – just love, friends, family, great “help yourself” buffet food, and more LOVE.

Perfect.

Fearless Award

January 7, 2013

In a fantastic start to the new year, the latest round of Fearless Awards were announced, and I WON ONE. This is my first time winning any sort of competition for my work, so I’m obviously crazy excited! 261 other images were also awarded in this round, and there were so many incredible images in there that I’m honoured (and astounded) to be included. Go check them out at the link above – this is wedding photography on a whole new level!

This was my image that made the cut. Thanks Charlie & Simon for the opportunity to capture this shot at your wedding, and extra special thanks (and head scratches) to your lovely kitty. :-)

A Look Back: 2012

December 31, 2012

2012: the year of enormous changes. After three years of doing wedding photography in Johannesburg, my husband and I decided to uproot ourselves and move to London; a huge decision not only personally, but also for my business. After all, I was still fairly new on the scene and had just started to get established. Moving countries meant pretty much restarting from the ground up, except of course that this time I had some lovely pictures of my SA couples to convince my new clients to hire me! I want to give a special thanks to Rachel and Geoff and Clare and Ricky, who hired me for their 2012 weddings before I had even set foot in the UK! Your confidence in me meant the world! And, of course, thank you to every other couple who had me shoot their weddings, engagement and anniversary shoots this year, as well as all the wonderful vendors who brought me into their collaborations and allowed me to shoot some amazing styled shoots!

Below is a selection of my favourite moments from the year. And there were a LOT.

Finally, this year seemed to have been the year of the babies for my past couples! I love being Facebook friends with my clients, because then I can see all the pictures of their new family members. :-) So congratulations to Daleen and Aaron on the birth of Lilly, Chiara and David on the birth of Massimo,  Kyra and Nick who are about to welcome their baby at any moment, and Taryn and Marc who have just announced they’re expecting! I’m so happy for all of you – and any of my other past couples that I don’t know about who’ve expanded their families, drop me a line and let me know! :-)
