Ornate Adele + Christo married! | Clarens, Free State 16/10/12 Ornate

I photographed Adele and Christo’s friend’s in March this year.  They were such lovely people and when Adele enquired for her own wedding I was excited as I really enjoyed working with them. I was not disappointed.

Adele + Christo got married in Clarens in the Free State. What a beautiful place!? I had never been there before so I was so excited to shoot their wedding. The landscape is breathtaking!

Adele bought her dress in Paris and it is so super dreamy! I absolutely loved capturing these images. I hope that you enjoy!

Ps. Adele actually won the raffle that I held to support Kitty and Puppy haven. So this is not the last you will see of them ;-)

I am so lucky! That’s no secret. I have the most awesome clients! I have worked with Bothlale a few times.

Botlhale makes gorgeous cakes! In fact she made the cake that is in this blog post. It was YUMMY! I have photographed her cakes before and when she asked me to photograph her 10 year vowel renewal ceremony I was super excited. She is such a talented woman I know that it would be ever so stylish!

The celebration took place at Monaghan farm and the day was filled with so much joy. I think you can tell that from the pictures! Everyone was so happy and it was a day with music, laughter and joy. I hope that you enjoy looking at the post as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Ornate Candice + Henco married! | Magoebaskloof, Tzaneen 20/09/12 Ornate

Candice and Henco got married in Magoebaskloof, Tzaneen. By the time I got the the venue on the Friday night the weather had made a turn for the worse. It was raining constantly and at some points the mist was so thick you couldn’t see 20 meters in front of your car whilst driving.

 

The venue made improvisations and moved the ceremony to a covered area and all was fine in the end. I feel that the weather actually added a bit of romanticism and I love the saturated vegetation in the photos. These two were such great sports! Even though it was raining they didn’t mind braving the wet and cold for some photos.

 

The couple are still in Thailand on their honeymoon and I actually hope that they are too busy having fun to look out for the images, but if you do see them….I hope you like them! Enjoy!

Ornate A few features! | 17/09/12 Ornate

Recently I was asked by the editor of Fair Lady Bride if the magazine could feature one of my weddings. That being the wedding of Mia and Willem. I was absolutely elated to be asked as there are not that many real weddings in the magazine and it is so truly exciting to have my work showcased in a national print publication! I was even more flattered when the editor booked me to photograph her own wedding next year! How exciting!

I decided to do a quick blog of a few features that I have had on different sites. These are some of my favourite shoots yet!
