I’ve just finished editing the group Trash the Dress from last month…yes… yes… I know it’s late and way after the deadline… but anyhoo… this is why I think I’m going to have to slow down with photoshoots in 2012.
Anyhoo, when I made some of the photos Black and White, I just knew I had to post a few more! I LOVE the way they’ve turned out…

I met Tanya and Peter yesterday afternoon at her stables in Kyalami yesterday to do the final shoot planned for their wedding. It was a Day-After or Trash the Dress shoot and Peter and Tanya got dressed up for the occasion again. Tanya was so very excited about this shoot with her favourite pony Twister. She’s been talking about it for months 
It was such an amazing setting in the fields, with Twister being followed by all the other horses… and OMW I was so impressed with her… she was amazing and so calm all the time, even though Tanya was making quite a lot of russling noises in her dress

Angel from Angels Weddings has been planning this Trash-the-Dress photoshoot for months, and at some stage organised 3 other brides (or rather ladies who wanted to wear their wedding dresses again) to join her for the shoot. Her idea was to have a picnic under a tree with a chandelier… while wearing their wedding dresses.
It was so much fun!! The 4 brides were Angel, Gina, Tanya and Tiffany. Gina got her hair cut this morning too (at HAND in Parkhurst) , and donated her locks to a cancer charity, so was rocking a new hairstyle. Tanya, you’ll remember from the wedding a few weeks ago. And Tiffany fitted into her wedding dress even though she’s had a baby 9 months ago… how awesome!!
Oh and how awesome is this cake that Angel baked for the event!

Praveshni and Bhavish’s wedding was 2 years ago. They contacted me a few months ago, and we arranged their “Day After” photoshoot for today. I’m calling this a “Day After” shoot instead my usual term for this kind of shoot, Trash the Dress, because their intention with the shoot was different. They wanted their creative wedding photos (done by another photographer) re-done, in order to complete their wedding album… so it was a full wedding shoot and I needed to capture all the detail as well.
OMW, and the detail was splendid. Her dress and his suit were just spectacular… and as for the jewellery… WOW!! It was such a privilege to be able to take these photos.
Seriously, they rocked. Such a beautiful couple, in the most amazing setting, with the most gorgeous yummy light, wearing the most incredible outfits… what more could a photographer ask for!
We met up at Wits University, and it was the perfect location (and we were had LOADS of spectators which was quite fun). The colours of the buildings, and the architecture just worked so well with their outfits. And then after Wits, we went to the Nelson Mandela bridge in Braamfontein for some city scapes.
First up though, the narial, which didn’t get photographed at all originally… I think I’ve made up for it what absolutely beautiful objects!
It was a perfect afternoon!

It’s a bumper post 
This is Alida on Feiko
I laughed when I edited this one… not the most flattering photos of Teddy, but too funny for words, so I couldn’t resist posting it. You may also recognise Charmain… she’s actually still on her honeymoon after her wedding a few weeks ago.
And Annie with Fury
Thanks to Angel for all the arranging… and to Meryl for letting us invade her quiet stable yard for the day.
The other photographers are linked on Angel’s post on her Wedding blog
