Angie and Sergio have planned an early winter wedding, but, first, here’s their engagement session:
I had intended to share this shoot with you last week, but, unfortunately, there just weren’t enough hours in the day (or perhaps enough caffeine).
Anyway, allow me to introduce the soon-to-be-married Angie and Sergio - can’t wait to shoot your wedding in May!




Carlien and Marcell. Where do I begin?
When we arrived at Mangwa Valley Lodge, one of the first things Marcelle said to us was: "Ladies. Just do your stuff". And that is exactly what we did ;-). So laid back were the bride and groom that they put their complete trust in us.
The ceremony was one of the most entertaining I have ever experienced, in that the priest included references to Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and how can we forget little Tinkerbelle, as well as many other elements, which made it all the more so incredibly special.
I really enjoyed our game drive portrait session, which involved some bundu bashing, looking out for game, on top of the odd stopping-off every now and then to shoot some romantic shots.
The reception also turned out to be just as much fun, where the dance floor was invaded by all the short guests (aka children) attending the wedding.
Marcell and Carlien, I can't thank you enough for allowing us to share your beautiful day with you! Thank You.

(03.22.11 @ 09:24 PM)Andrea you forgot about the ant ;-) Thanks Carlien and Marcell you made us feel at home and completely relaxed, it was a great day indeed!
(03.23.11 @ 08:06 AM)Oh indeed the serial killer ant!
How could I forget about that phsycotic ant with a mission to destroy you!
You will see I also conveniently, did not mention the two city Dorks ;-) driving around the lodge, and getting lost! When all the rooms where indeed walking distance.
Dit was een van die lekkerste troues ooit. Die foto van Stephan is price less. Thanx
(03.23.11 @ 09:01 AM)Absoluut pragtig! Die troue was ook wonderlik! Kan nie wag vir die kids se fotos nie.
(03.26.11 @ 07:51 PM)It has been a week of green crafts, making leprechaun traps and green baking with the kids. The "Little cons" (leprechaun's - as Liam calls them), are coming to visit us on Friday night.
In our house, the leprechauns wreak a little havoc by turning our milk and toilet water green, and turning things a little upside down. Oh, the excitement levels for the chaos!
Happy St Patricks Day!



So, that was February. Woosh ... and it's gone.
I am posting an image of another seemingly small moment that can't be captured in words. Simple letters have nothing on these little, but important, moments in time.





Wow Andrea - these pics are SO stunning - the lighting is absolutely gorgeous :) I am now looking SO forward to the wedding pics in May!
(03.29.11 @ 09:44 PM)Oh wow these are stunning... it's such a beautiful spot!

(04.01.11 @ 09:47 AM)That first shot says it all for me, I really really love it
