After many, many, many rainy weekends it was with great relief we had an overcast, but, DRY Saturday.
A tad heavy on the overcast side, along with constant threats of a downpour, but, it did remain DRY!
Karen and Greig were married at the Rosebank Church and chose Hazeldene Hall as their reception venue.
Even though it is most probably one of the most beautiful grand old buildings in Johannesburg, we decided to do the creatives elsewhere.
Thank you for letting Chantal and I be a part of your wedding day and for trusting me with your memories.
A fantastic time was had by all!
Another couple who belong to the "don't look good in photos" support group. (Yeah right!... these guys always hide it so well!)
A bit more than usual, but, I am sure the bride stalkers out there will not object to more photos being posted!
Aaaah childhood memories....love the last one
(03.25.09 @ 08:31 AM)Beautiful!!!! A couple of years time, it will be real bikes and you'll have to take photos of all the boys ramping :)
(03.25.09 @ 09:53 AM)Beautiful pics, I can't believe you live in Joburg, seems like such a cool place to grow up!
(03.26.09 @ 06:50 AM)I now know why i am so busy i hardly get time to visit your blog, it is depressing for me in a way.
You are the person that i look up to and the words" One day when i am big" come to mind.
I love the way you see this world of ours. Keep up the stunning work and congrads on all the magazines you are making it into. One of these days we will see you in O magazine. LOL
Regards
Jeez thanks for all the comments, it must be a record for a personal entry!!
We are very lucky where we stay, although the greedy developers have, unfortunately, discovered out little paradise!
Ever since Ashley received her bike, with training wheels, Oliver has been nagging that he too wanted a "big boy's" bicycle.
This weekend Dadda made Oliver's day with a shiny new red bicycle. The joy and excitement of his first bike!
Cousin Angelique with her scooter bike.
Always amazing to see how brilliant you are :) Love the pic of Angelique - what a cracker!
(03.25.09 @ 09:24 AM)I wish I could hire someone with PR skills like Amori. She has managed to get her wedding (and my pictures!) into another bridal magazine, I need some wine to celebrate!
There is also an online version that seems like a pretty useful guide for brides.
Karen & Greig's wedding in a couple of days time.
Just last night I was talking to a girl in my photo class who is in charge of events at St Johns. I said I wish I'd known about one being able to have weddings there because I keep seeing picturess and it looks gorgeous. She said, "oh. did you see Andrea's pics in Konfetti?" So you're famous indeed! :-)
(03.25.09 @ 08:53 AM)Famous......I think not...aren't we all supposed to be dead before we become famous?
Did I hear you say Photography course?....contact me when you are done as you have one Evil eye!!I
Actually I'm done next week! I will MOST definitely! And thanks for the compliment...if 'evil' is complimentary...haha.
(03.26.09 @ 03:05 PM)It is who u know ;-), not what u know.... Congrats, Andrea! If u're good, u're good!
(04.16.09 @ 07:49 AM)It also doesn't hurt if you have a gorgeous couple, and a bride that co-ordinates wedding for a living!!
(07.10.09 @ 07:14 PM)A couple of days late on this one, but a BIG Birthday wish to Tanja. I did threaten, that I would post a pic from her Abba party, and here it is!
Dancing queens (both with wigs) Tanja on the right, me on the left.....believe it or not somewhere inbetween it all, I do sometimes have a social life!!
Oh this reminds me of the great old London days!!
(03.18.09 @ 03:37 PM)Tashie!!!
I am so glad that you still "frequent here" and that I got a comment!
SSSShtummmm about the London days I am trying to portray an image of professionalism and sobriety...and thank gawd for the passion for photography, as I have all the evidence (pictures).
I 'frequent' all the time...and am 'commentless' as your work is just too wonderful for words!! Real proud of you and just love to see the boys grow.
(04.03.09 @ 06:12 AM)
No objections here! Still trying to figure out where you took the creatives, though - is that the Brixton or Hillbrow tower there? (I don't know which is scarier! ;p) I think my faves are the two in the curved rampway (or whatever it was) - I love curvy lines.
(03.26.09 @ 03:03 PM)I love the urban scene, great images.
(03.26.09 @ 06:17 PM)I would absolutely love to know where those creatives were taken! Gorgeous, I love the details of the dress in B&W
(03.27.09 @ 07:00 PM)Ok, for those dying to know......we did the creatives at Constitution Hill. A Sarajevo feel mixed with a modern concrete jungle...awesome venue to photograph.
(03.28.09 @ 04:34 AM)OMG these are stunning!!!! absolutely love the location - the bride and groom look fantastic - ANDREA MY HERO, OUT DOES HERSELF YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!! :)
(03.30.09 @ 01:22 PM)What a stunning wedding, and amazing photos!!! The couple are just gorgeous. I love the concrete jungle with the softness of Karen and Greig.
(04.06.09 @ 10:04 AM)Gorgeous!!!
