I need to shout it from the rooftops – coloooooooooooooooooooouur!!! A little sneak peek from Kirsty and Matt’s Lovebirds engagement shoot!

I can’t wait for Sandi and Simon’s weekend long wedding celebrations next month!! Here is a little introduction to this gorgeous couple – we took a long stroll through the vibrant and historic gardens of Vergelegen. A celebration of summer’s last sparkling greens on a warm afternoon…

So many of you may have heard my camera saga already – the story of how I arrived to shoot an engagement session with a gorgeous overseas couple, took off my lens to change it and a big chunk of camera guts literally fell out onto the floor with a sickening whomp… A photographer’s worst nightmare… equipment failure… Well this is the couple and here is the shoot that followed, captured completely on my little old 7D crop frame back up camera. I couldn’t have wished this to happen with a more understanding couple – Sarah and David, you guys are stratospherically awesome!! Not only that but you’re crazy fun too, so I should have been sobbing, but spent the next two hours laughing my sides sore, even through the driving rain. What a day!! Shot at the ever gorgeous and quirky Old Mac Daddy trailer park.

There is something fairytale about an oak forest and two gorgeous lovebirds  Nics and Andrew were amazing for this engagement shoot – sooo natural, I love it!! This is the beginning of their story and I can’t wait for their happy ending at Old Mac Daddy in January… <3

OK, so I am currently OBSESSED with this Lovebirds engagement shoot of Nics and Andrew in the oak forest… *happiest of sighs*… Enjoy the sneak peek

We live in a magnificent country! Heather & Ryan – what a special sneak peek for you two gorgeous Lovebirds

We chatted quite a bit beforehand about possible locations for this Lovebirds engagement shoot and the words we kept coming back to were ‘natural’ and ‘calm’. Finding the perfect spot for shoots isn’t always easy but I feel so lucky to be in the middle of one of the most beautiful valleys in the country (I may be a little biased here ). So cameras packed we headed off to another perfect and tranquil spot in the middle of Elgin – Mofam River Lodge  . Lakes, mountains, rivers, grasses and two picture perfect Lovebirds – such a bounty of beauty!

Oh wow, I love this little one – bathed in light and so much love!

Sometimes the camera really shows more about people than we can always see immediately from the outside. There is an intensity to these two that comes through so strongly in their photos together here. I’ve loved editing these images for their uniqueness and detail and am so happy they were brave enough to wait out the lashing rain and howling gales to get these shots Tarryn and Rino, you guys are something special…
