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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mischa and Patricia were married last week Friday at Maryvale Catholic church, with the reception held at the always gorgeous Shepstone Gardens. Their stylish, unique green and purple decor had me excited from the first moment, because I guessed it was just the start of a stylish and unique day – and I wasn’t wrong! From the amazing candybar (seriously, the best I’ve ever seen) to the chefs cooking post-ceremony snacks on the lawns in the late-afternoon sunlight, to the breathtaking purple and white cake, right down to Patricia and Mischa themselves, everything was lovely, simple, elegant and relaxed. Just the way I like it

My fab assistant for the day was Andre Sonnekus – thanks so much, Andre! It’s always fun with you.

 

Patricia had three pairs of shoes, but these Vivienne Westwoods – THE wedding shoes of the moment – made me shriek with excitement!

Something about this photo is awesome – it looks like Patricia is walking along in her own person confetti bubble.
