Spring couples

The sunshine has arrived in this country too, hurray!

Done some lovely weddings lately, Andy and Clare's here in Newbury. Two musicians getting married ... we were spoilt with a wonderful quartet playing through out the day. Loved it! We went to nearby farmland, I surprised the bride by handing her a pair of wellies to put on (...she was in a knee-length dress) and we walked to a nearby forest type area for photos! Super couple!

Tina and Marc must have chosen one of the sunniest days in April! It was a lovely in Surrey and their guests were enjoying every moment of the day. The ceremony was in a church built in 1050(!?) and it was beautiful! It was the day of the Grand National so I spent a little while looking for the Groom for photos, and ofcourse lots of the gents were in the pub! It was super seeing this groom dance, once all the traditions and things to worry about were over, the joyfulness of his marriage really shone through then!

AmaZing!

Ahhh, to be a wedding photographer in Cape Town ... to know the odds are there will be sunshine! all day and no rain. And as for location, a wine farm in the hills of Stellenbosch ain't too bad at all.

I do confess to making the bride cry though, hearing Amazing Grace sung in a small countryside chapel was just too much for me. Days after visiting the townships and reading Nelson Mandela's autobiography, coupled with seeing this beautiful couple getting hitched in Africa ... it made me blub which put a tear in her eye too. It was all just too beautiful :) Thank you so much for all the good moments...
