It seems getting my phone sorted involves far more paperwork and beaucracy than I had imagined.

In the meantime please use 083 200 2557 or email me.

All finally sorted, back on line 083 212 3430

Liam pointing at the number you can call me on - I know very cheesy indeed, but I am fustrated and tired - and it's only Monday. 

Leanne & Andrew's wedding in a couple of days time.

I'm more than pleased and quite humbled to share with you some exciting news!

I am teaming up with Dror Eyal and we are planning a knock-your-socks-off photography workshop!

For more info on the workshop click here.

My handbag with my phone inside was stolen. It will take me a couple of days to get it all sorted, so if you need to contact me in the next couple of days please email me: andrea@andreacarlylephotography.co.za.

 Jake with his bottom lip - much more adorable than mine!

I trust you got all you wished for this festive season! I know of three little boys who did.

Just to let you know, you've all exhausted me over the past year and I'm now desperate for a short break.  So, on that note, we are away for a wee break and the studio will be closed until the 7th of January 2010.

Please direct all price enquiries to the automated email address:prices@andreacarlylephotography.co.za and all other e-mails will be addressed on my return.

Happy New Year everyone - see you on the blog in 2010!

It's going to be a landmark year for South Africa - my wish for you is that it is a wonderful 2010,  filled with love, life and lots of laughter!

I bought these snowflake decorations today, for next year. On seeing them the kids insisted we sprayed our windows with the leftover snow and hang these up. I do realise Christmas is over but not to the short people, to them it seems Christmas is forever.

I am a little behind in posting this wedding, but, having said that, I am ending 2009 with yet another beautiful couple: Geneiveve & Russell!

The weather started out ominously bad, so bad, in fact, I was made aware of a room that is available at the venue "in case it rains". One look at the painted, fake backdrop (with sunshine) made me determined to find alternative "in case it rains" locations.

We'll, with a stroke of good fortune, it did not rain after all - I was told by Gen they are both very lucky people - very lucky indeed! Another gorgeous day unfolded, along with a dazzling real-life clouds and sun-drenched background. :-)

Gen & Russell were so natural and gorgeous, I would've been hard-pressed not to get great shots.

 
Later at the reception I was asked by a guest as to why I took Genevieve & Russell outside the venue, when, needless to say, Makiti has such a haven of lovely gardens. I smiled. . . and now I hope these images do justice to my approach.

Gen's new surname will be Fish, so many of the décor aspects revolved around the theme of. . . well, fishes - very cute!

Sidenote: Makiti is a stunningly beautiful venue, with good food and really beautiful gardens that give you that country feel, I just seem to be drawn by the lure of dramatic clouds and skies.
