So, yet another year fizzles out and here we are in 2012. Gosh!!  It seemed as though 2011 whizzed by in the blink of an eye; gone so fast.  Then again, it is said that time goes quickly when you're having fun, so I reckon it all makes sense, after all.

 
At this time of the year, I suppose that I should be reflecting back on the previous twelve months, with a best-of-2011 image gallery, or perhaps making some resolutions, but, such pursuits really wouldn't be me, so I'll plunge straight into the here and now with this next wedding post.

 
As I tinker away at my keyboard, I'm desperately racking my brains to forge the words best fitting to describe Hayley's and Mike's wedding day, but, to be honest, I am not sure that I should write too much, as I genuinely believe that the images themselves say it all.  You can see from Hayley's and Mike's pictorial debut that they are a pretty chilled couple and seem to be laughing most of the time, which is exactly how they were - relaxed, fun and happy-go-lucky.

 
I would have to say that, besides Kim's and Dale's ceremony - of course ;-), this was easily one of the most laid-back weddings that I experienced in 2011.

 
One thing that I do want to share with you is that Hayley is the first bride I've ever photographed that literally trashed her matrimonial dress (well not really, as the revised version looked just as good) and on the big day itself. That's right, you read right!! 


Apparently, Hayley realised at the reception that her gown was impeding her dance moves.  At that particular moment, I was tipped off that something was going on and heard Hayley say: "It's not like I am going to wear it again" and then, just like that, SNIP!!  We had half a dress...and then the party began in full earnest.
 

Hayley and Mike, thank you so much for the experience and, of couse, all the laughs.  Langebaan is in for a treat!
