Sam, my trusted childminder, is on leave. So its two weeks at home with the midgets, if you see smoke signals send HELP......and wine! Three hours into day one and I am not sure if I will make it! This short post has already been interrupted by a fight (Jake tried to close Liam into the cupboard) so no long story just the album pics.

Kate:

Oh wait, is it that wedding from last year that you had the photo from on "Admired by Beckstead"? Did you and Tanja shoot it? That's where I recognise it from!

I can't believe two people beat Anne, she must be sick :-)

Get out your party hats, my blog has just turned one year old! It was one year ago (well I am a 5 days late with this post) when I posted my very first entry, feeling very "exposed" to this cyber world of people, and I am still here... ..and might I add, that I have kept to my promise of posting one entry a week, I think I need to celebrate with a glass of Chardonnay. I had my decor photographs ready but then changed my mind, I have decided to post the details from my very first wedding posted a year ago. Michelle and André Michelle decided to have each table different.

How cute are the upside down tulips? I'm loving tulips this month! It might stick till the wedding, it might not...

Every table different is such a unique idea! And that way you get to have ALL the flowers and colours you want.

Did I just beat Anne????

(05.30.08 @ 05:41 PM)

Anne:

Yup Kate you beat me ha ha ha well I kinda let you beat me ha ha ha

Gorgeous Details......Very unique...going to my ideas folder

(05.30.08 @ 06:54 PM)

Anne:

Oh and happy anniversary Andrea....thanks for keeping up with the blog for addicts like Kate and I

(05.30.08 @ 06:55 PM)

andreac1:

Yup!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop the clocks!!
Kate I think you got in there before Anne. A great acheivement!!! Sorry Anne, but we will have to award the stalker award to Kate this week. Well done kate...I did not think it was humanly possible to beat Anne!

(05.30.08 @ 07:51 PM)

Kate:

Mwahaha! Looking back, I've beat her at least once before. It must be nice to have two such dedicated stalkers. Happy anniversary Andrea!

Anne, since you and I have such good taste, what other blogs do you stalk? (You know, so I can beat you to those too...)

(05.31.08 @ 11:48 AM)

Sue:

One blog entry a week - that's impressive!! Congrats! Decor looks divine.

Caroline & Georg

May 27, 2008 // Wedding / wedding photographer / wedding photography

Is wedding photography supposed to be this much fun? Dror Eyal joined me on what started off as an early, very, very early and grumpy start - that is to say, some of us are just not morning people and some of us make bad coffee. I had loads of laughs though, courtesy of my second shooter, albeit a 06:30 am start. Going on to the wedding, the bride and groom, Caroline and Georg, decided to tie the knot on her parents farm in the Magaliesberg. The farmhouse was transformed into the ideal wedding location and as for Caroline's dress and head-piece....WOW!! Oh, and Georg. You looked the business too! Caroline also took care of my fetish for details...will post them later - have no fear ladies! One of the drawbacks of an early-afternoon wedding is that you have to deal with the harsh African sun for the creatives. These pictures were taken at "The Tower of Pisa", which is an old water tower situated on the farm. So guys, here is a brief sneak peek of your wedding day!

Anne:

WOW Andrea.....I can't even imagine that these were taken in the afternoon.......They look so freaking fab......

(05.27.08 @ 05:15 PM)

Kate:

Dammit Anne, you always get in before me! You're a better blogstalker than I am. As for the pics, not a drop of harsh afternoon sunlight to be seen - gorgeous as always! Well done, Andrea! And now I want a close-up of her veil and headdress so I can see what was so fab about them, please. :-)

Oh, and yes, it is supposed to be that much fun. I imagine that's why you take such beautiful photos, because you ARE having fun!

(05.27.08 @ 09:11 PM)

Grumpy in the morning when there is no coffee:

What kind of person calls you at 6am and says "Hi, I'm outside"? Anyway, I was only pretending to be awake for the first hour, hence the scenic route.

(05.28.08 @ 05:55 AM)

andreac1:

Kate there’s a challenge beat Anne to any new post by any wedding photographer, she stalks internationally with the same pace!

No veil just a decrcrative head piece, Caroline was very much a classic 1920’s bride, not sure if it will be posted as it does not match my details theme I had planned..we’ll see.

Note to self: Get someone to make a good cuppa when shooring with Drorrrrrrr (the added “r”s to empasise the man was grumpy …quiete..but a tad grrrrrumpy

(05.28.08 @ 03:06 PM)

Kate:

But she's wearing a veil in the first pic...I am, however, keen to see any oldie 1920's flavour pics you might have - love that stuff!

Anne, one day I will beat you, mwahaha.

(05.28.08 @ 04:26 PM)

andreac1:

ummm yip that sure is a veil...and a bluddy long one too!
Sorry I meant that there was no veil attached to the headpiece as I associate the term "headpiece" with a birdcage veil.

(05.29.08 @ 04:45 AM)

Kate:

Oh ok! Looks like she just had a drop veil (my favorite!) over the headpiece.

(05.29.08 @ 06:31 AM)

Anne:

LOL Kate......You are too funny....Can't wait to see your wedding pics so I can finally put a face to the name......besides I reckon you have such great taste....

You can try to beat me but I am not sure you will succeed ha ha ha

(05.30.08 @ 04:13 AM)

Kate:

Success!
Ditto with your wedding pics, Anne! When is your wedding?

(06.03.08 @ 06:08 AM)

Rean Kriel:

Hi Andrea

Great images, I just love the first one. Well done.

Regards,

Rean

Amori & Johan, Helderfontein Estate

May 16, 2008 // Wedding / wedding photographer / wedding photography

This week's been a tortoise-and-hare affair. . . me the tortoise and the 7-day git, the large oversized rodent. My earnest intention was to post these on Wednesday, but here I sit, Friday evening, armed with a well-earned glass of citrus-enhanced, oaken Chadonnay, quickly trying to get this post in before the week officially ends. So, finally, here are a few shots from last weeks wedding of Amori and Johan, held at Helderfontein Estate. Despite the rainy start, it turned out to be a picture-perfect autumn day and everything was awesome! (You saw how great the details were) Occasionally, just occasionally, you'll have couples knowing exactly what to do. And Amori and Johan are, quite simply, one of those extraordinary couples. I've so many favourites - too many, in fact. However, my BPPC (Blog Picha Post Consultant) has gone AWOL, so here's a few extra than I had planned to post. Then again, you know about the serious "selection" problem I have. . . 'nuff said!

OK Did you just use a swahili word? I am so freaking impressed seriously.........FYI I am at my mums in NC and I left my party to stalk the blog....Totally worth it.......OMG the low lighting and compositions....WOW WOW WOW WOW SIL (sister in law) is also stalking with me and even though we are tipsy we are LOVING the pics.....

(05.18.08 @ 01:17 AM)

Sue:

Love the colours and the vine-covered backdrop - beautiful!

(05.18.08 @ 03:18 PM)

Kate:

Oh man, the ones with the red leaves are just too stunning. I really wanted to look at this venue, but they were closed till late January and we kind of needed to pick a place by early Jan...oh well! It looks gorgeous! As usual I love the first one by the window. I think those are my favourite kind of Bride shot.

(05.21.08 @ 04:02 PM)

andreac1:

Anne on the Swahili...DH usually proof reads my blog entries to ammend my apalling grammar and punctuation. He got a bit carried away on this post and added in a few words of his own...enter the Swahili part.

(05.22.08 @ 08:38 AM)

Amori:

oh my word!!! how awesome are these pictures! we love it! can't wait to see the rest...

don't know how to thank you, andrea!

(05.23.08 @ 09:51 AM)

andreac1:

Amori, you just did! Knowing you love them is Thank you enough

I have been storing all the 'details' that I love into a folder. I was going to post these every now again, grouped by colour themes, I thought...and then came last weeks wedding where it all just matched the "Pink & Black" theme that it was just too easy to simply post from Amori & Johan's wedding! The theme 'Pink and Black'...their wedding pics in a couple of days.

WOW gorgeous gorgeous details.....great taste for the bride....I am so envious of her Chivari chairs

Thanks for posting these! Very inspirational

(05.14.08 @ 04:02 AM)

Kate:

Oh my gosh, I was going to do something just like that for the seating cards - hanging with sparkly jewels. It just goes to show there are no original ideas left! I've also used a similar pattern for the borders of my placecards. I love these photos because they're so similar to my own wedding colours - except mine has crimson instead of pink. Thanks for posting them; I'd love to see more!

(05.14.08 @ 07:05 PM)

Lizanne:

Please please please could you let me know where the bride had her stationery done. Also were she got those beautiful boxes and napkins. I'm doing a black and white theme for my wedding and damask is just so over done. This is stunning.
