Just quick post before I head out to a wedding. Pictures taken by Ursula on holday.

It really does make me proud and excited seeing my pictures published.
And, no less, we made the third edition of Konfetti. Well done Alisdair & Gemma. (featured on pgs 44-47)
I must also confess I just love the cover image taken by Christine Mentjies.

Well Done Andrea (not that I am suprised) - Awsome pic
(03.10.09 @ 11:41 AM)Introducing the wedding of Sarah and Martin . . .
Sarah's mum, Suzi, booked me and mentioned Sarah's wedding would be a fuss-free and relaxed affair - and that it was.
Martin and Sarah, who both reside in the UK, found a true undiscovered little gem when they selected Thandeka Lodge as their venue. Just the perfect bush setting for their beautiful ceremony.
There were so many little moments that made me smile and people who made me laugh, but, to mention each individual one would require a story of its own, rendering this post as long as a novel.
So let's just leave it as an awesome wedding with oodles of character.
There are a few more images than usual, but, I realise I am dealing with some seriously deprived readers, who have been tormented by the Carlyles' holiday pics and haven
't seen a wedding post in a little over two weeks...


Sarah and Martin were married in the middle of the bushveld and the venue staff had literally mowed a pathway through the grassland to create the aisle and a patch where the vows were to be exchanged.
The "church" was surrounded by savannah and the guests were seated on hay bales.

Another obsession of mine is flare, and a little OTT on the flare side, but, I love this pic.
To me, it really does "tell the story...as it was".
Eccentric priest, scorcher of a day and exchanging vows in the middle of the African Bush.





Thank you Sarah & Martin for being so understanding, and thank you Belinda and Jonathan for helping out.
Just beautiful! As always...You should always post this many pics - I love seeing the story of the day unfold! the flare pic is my favourite too, and the clouds in the last few are just gorgeous!
(03.05.09 @ 06:08 PM)Oh wow, what a gorgeous setting. Love the little touch with the grass being tied back.
(03.05.09 @ 07:10 PM)Yay, yay, yay! Thank you Andrea, we are absolutely delighted with the photos...can't wait for the rest.
(03.08.09 @ 02:24 PM)Wow, these are really gorgeous ! Well done, you managed to capture the tangible love between martin and sarah.. really stunning!
(03.09.09 @ 08:32 AM)WOW! Sarah & Martin these photo's really does capture the love between you and the pics are amazing!

Firstly, apologies to all who emailed me in the last two weeks.
I discovered on our return that whilst I had diligently typed an Out-of-Office for incoming emails, I had not activated it on the main email address, so I do apologise to those left "hanging" with no response to your mail
I am ploughing through my inbox and will hopefully get through it all tonight.
In the meantime, I promise all those bride-to-be* stalkers who had to endure "Uncle Bob's'" holiday slideshow (The Sequel), there are two wedding-related posts this week. The images are ready; I just need to update the blog write-up.
So there is a glimmer of light after "The Holiday" series.
*I am not negleting the men, but, I am not sure if grooms-to-be stalk wedding blogs?
Last part: Volume VIII, slideshow #3198 of our trip to the coast. These were taken at Umdhloti.



Wonderful kids!
And I like your style!




Oh wow, those are SUCH special shots!
(03.14.09 @ 01:23 PM)Stunning!
