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…

Ashley and Sally contacted me a few months ago to take the photos on their special day. They were referred to me by Tanya, whose wedding photos I took in October, as well as my brother! I love referrals 
Their wedding took place yesterday on a very hot and muggy day… the weather was absolutely gorgeous… but oh so very hot when you’re wearing layers of petticoats and tulle and a kilt!
And speaking of kilts… all the guys in the retinue not only had kilts but the full Scottish kit down to the shoes!! Even the 2 little page boys
The venues that they chose for getting ready, and for the ceremony and reception were both incredible. Thatch and Thorn was lovely, and I LOVED the light in the suite that we used. Da Vincenzo’s was just amazing. The staff were so attentive and they kept me informed of everything going on, and treated the bridal couple like gold. The food was absolutely delicious, and I’m definitely going back there for a dinner with friends!
LOVED the guest house’s dog who took a liking to Sally, and followed her everywhere. And I couldn’t resist taking a photo of him
Michael was fascinated by the bottle of holy water
How amazing is this table setting design?!! The cards with the table settings were strung from branches with crystal angels.
And then during the reception, I spotted this building next door, and how cool are they?! They left their guests during dinner for 5 minutes to take a few more photos in this amazing setting… it was so very worth it!
Oh and I do LOVE this image… it’s the only real maternity one I’m showing you… you see, Sally is 4 months pregnant
And I have to give a shout-out to Glenn, who declared himself the photography assistant for the day, and was a pack horse of note! And yes, he was one of the guests… and WOW I wouldn’t mind him coming along to any of my photoshoots. I’ll definitely be phoning him if/when I do a wedding in KZN. He not only helped me with my bags, but fetched sheets for Sally to sit on, and made sure they had drinks and helped Sally with her dress. He was wonderful!
Getting Ready Location: Thatch and Thorn Guest House in Beaulieu
Ceremony and Reception Venue : Da Vincenzo Restaurant
DJ : Paul Tavares
Second Shooter: Carl de Montille
And that, my friends, is the last wedding for 2011 it’s been an amazing year!

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

R contacted me months ago to organise this photoshoot that took place a few days before her wedding in November. She wanted some boudoir photos taken as a present for her future husband, and she wanted her bridesmaids to join her… as her gift to them. So I took leave that day and met them in the afternoon in a friend’s house for the shoot.
It was such fun, and I’m so pleased that they’ve let me show you a few of the images. As you can see, one of the bridesmaids is pregnant with a long-awaited set of twins and I loved that she got to celebrate the changes in her body in this way.
Organising a boudoir portrait party with friends is such an awesome way to get boudoir photos!

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!
