It is with such a happy heart that I share Sarah and David’s photos of their big day!! What a phenomenally fun couple this is and a total treat for me to photograph! Sarah and David went the extra mile for their wedding – quite literally ;-) as they and almost all their wedding guests flew in from the UK to celebrate in South African style at the ever wonderful South Hill, here in Elgin. Sarah spent a YEAR making 1000 origami paper cranes that hung around the tree for the ceremony – no-one tops that for dedication!! David and his besties got ready at the awesome Old Mac Daddy just over the road. Now I’m not a girl that was born with the shoe obsessed gene but Sarah’s Jimmy Choo’s may be my all time exception – woah!!

You lovely two, I hope you love the photos a tenth of the amount that I loved being there and photographing your absolutely wonderful day! Thank you!

Oh my word, what a phenomenally F-U-N wedding this was!!! Natasha, Hessam and entourage sure know how to parté :-D With Natasha’s British background and Hessam’s Iranian background a lot of attention went into special elements of the wedding like the sugar blessing during the ceremony and the Persian cake knife dance (!) – my camera was delighted!! Did you see the incredible 3D laser cut invite made by Arty Miss? Gordon and Emma from ‘Gordon Manuel @ the Venue’ at South Hill pulled off yet another feat of wedding perfection from the organising to the sublime food to the excellent service!

Natasha and Hessam, you guys were so amazingly relaxed and happy happy happy! I couldn’t have asked for more and I hope (know!) you guys had the most memorable day! :-D Here are your photos…

My indispensible help on the day was Hanlie Green (who shot the full restaurant photo below – hmmm, I think I need her wide angle lens!) and have a peek at Natasha and Hessam’s Photo Booth pics here on my Facebook page :-D

Ah what a fantastic wedding at South Hill’s ‘Gordon Manuel @ the Venue’ in Elgin! Natasha & Hessam – you guys were the bees knees!! More photos coming soon…

I am just going to warn you now – this is a pretty huge post! What a wedding Sandy and Kevin had! If I was going to describe it with one word I’d use RAIN! But that really is too simplistic – their day was full to the brim with so much family, happy busyness and lots and lots of love! Friends flew in from all over the world to celebrate their momentous wedding and Kevin and Sandy’s exquisite wine farm South Hill in Elgin couldn’t have been a more perfect venue – even in the rain! Emma and Gordon from ‘Gordon Manuel @the Venue‘ managed to pull off wonders with their incredible and frankly super-human powers of organisation in the most trying conditions – and of course Gordon’s food… what can I say except cuisine of the Gods – not to sound too dramatic about it :-D . The lovely flowers, decor and cakes were done by Sandy and family with special mention to Sandy’s mom for the exquisite wedding cake. Sandy and Kevin, your loved ones said it again and again on the day – you two are so perfect for each other and I hope this was a day to remember for you both. Enjoy the photos…

Amidst the craziness of Easter and weddings and rain, I just wanted to quickly pop up the gorgeous sneak peek from Sandy and Kevin’s beautiful (and rainy!!) wedding on their lovely wine farm South Hill. How are those colours?! That is always the best part about an overcast wedding – the tones are softer and the colours so much more intense. More pics coming soon!

Lisa and Ali chose one of the most lovely summer days for their Elgin wedding at the stunning venue South Hill. The thing that stands out most for me about the day is the beautiful simplicity of it – an exquisitely subdued colour scheme of greys and greens with tiny touches of coral, a wedding dress with no tears in it’s back-story, a suit bought the week before the wedding (hope that wasn’t a state secret :-) ) and two people who have been together a long time making a simple promise.  A beautiful couple on their beautiful day and as always I am so grateful to be a part of the story. (p.s Doesn’t this hug look like a good one???)
