Soooo many pictures, and quite simply, not enough time!
I stirred from a really restful slumber at 03h00 this morning, to make an effort to draw level with my weekly post. Wait!....Quiet! ..ssshhh...I can hear rumblings I think the midgets are also about to waken.
I am trying my very best not to make a sound, since I still have about two minutes before they find me.
So, unfortunately, only this teaser for now.
Desirée & Carl, I managed to get in three hours, I promise I will post your wedding this week.
Okay, I admit, I'm sort of tired and kind of stressed at the moment. Throw in a little bit of grumpy and you will understand the negligence on the blog front.
Maybe it was the three weddings in a row I took on, thinking I could relax a little in the summer, or maybe it was because I spent the most part of this week editing until the wee hours of the morning. Who knows? Who cares? I promised pictures this week and pictures you will have!
Sleep-deprived, stressed and little cranky I may be, but, I'm fairly certain I've the best job ever!
I had the great opportunity to experience an intimate and incredibly beautiful wedding at Zebra Country Lodge, with Careen and Andrew.
The couple requested a Landrover for their creative portraits, and there were plenty of places to shoot.
I have spent more time than I should, admittedly, trying desperately to narrow down the images from their ceremony, without much luck.
Why oh why do I insist on taking soooooo many pictures?... I am really my own worst enemy!
So here you are, my selection {the narrowed-down version}...
Careen has such an elegance about her!
All i can say is wow.....excellent pics!
(05.15.09 @ 08:07 AM)Wow!!! Careen looked beautiful! And Andrea you have outdone yourself once again!!!
Oh, I love the blueness of the sky in the last few, and the B&W one with the little boy. I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a beautiful couple?
(05.20.09 @ 11:21 AM)It's been awefully quiet on the blog front. Just a quick note to let you know, I am still here and will be posting Careen and Andrew's wedding this week.
The image is a teaser from their wedding.
Now you are not being very fair to your loyal followers LOL.
I am sure they are holding their breath for the rest of your, as always, spectacular work.
Nice one Andrea.
It was such a rewarding experience to shoot Chantal's & JP's beautiful wedding.
Although it was a long day, every single minute was so well spent.
Every so often, I'd think I found my favourite image of the day - and, then another one would crop up after a few more shots. I love these kind of days!
We did run out of time for the creative portraits, but, had more than enough images from the whole day and so we did manage, after all, to get a few in.
The reception included touching speeches, Flamenco dancers, lots of laughter and dancing.
Chantal's and JP's first dance was so spectacular, I wouldn't be too surprised if it makes it to You Tube - by far the most impressive!
A few of my favourites:
Beautiful! My favourites are the veil shot (the 2nd last pic) and the bride standing in the window with her arms holding the curtains. Yum.
(05.05.09 @ 09:14 AM)oooh car lights can be useful! stunning shots, your colours are always so ama-zing!
(05.05.09 @ 01:18 PM)Hey my SUPA talented friend, these pics are stunning!!!!
(05.07.09 @ 04:15 PM)Love the way you used the shape of the curtains - in all of them, but particularly in the one of the dess, the way it echoes the shapes! And love the rim lighting from the headlights :) Thanks for much needed break from work and the inspiration to return o it!
(05.08.09 @ 06:25 AM)ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Thank-you! We are looking forward to seeing the rest! x
(05.25.09 @ 01:39 PM)Talent, talent, talent!!
(05.28.09 @ 07:20 AM)All these public holidays in April have thrown me totally out of sync. Jobs I thought would take a week have turned out to be two weeks.
I was planning on posting a wedding this week, but I did not make it. Apologies, I will aim for Monday.
