Having shot over a hundred weddings, it's strange I have never photographed a ceremony at Avianto, which does seem to be one of the more popular Gauteng venues.
Every wedding is, of course, different and I love that.
I love the different personalities and circumstances of the day and the genuinely nice people I get to meet. This one involved many, many emotional and tearful moments throughout the day. There was also plenty of laughter to make up for the tears; the mother of the bride being locked in the bathroom; a petal-obsessed flower girl; an ancient Landy; a fun-loving and relaxed couple and a bride looking ever so graceful walking up a muddy hill. . . just so her selfish photographer could capture an image with the moody sky.
Thank you, both of you - we had a grand time.
There she is, an angelic flowergirl very serious about her role on the day...the petals had no chance.

(03.24.10 @ 05:33 PM)I am so glad you like them. Sorry about them shoes, R.I.P.
"My sister would kill me" was the exact thought train that prevented me from posting them.
(03.24.10 @ 06:38 PM)I do not recall that she was fully dressed?? Or quite looking her best feminine-self, whilst at her rescue mission trying to bash the toilet door open, trying desperately to save the distressed mother of the bride. ;-)
What a laugh!!! Definately not fully clothed but you still HAVE TO give them to me. I'll whip them out one day when it can work to my advantage :) Aaahh, sisterly love.
(03.25.10 @ 04:04 PM)Yes, quite right you two!!! I would kill you both.
(03.26.10 @ 04:49 PM)Although the the name "Fat pants" has become quite famous now!! He,Hee! A hysterical moment i will never forget. Oh my sussie! These pictures brought me to tears when I saw them.
