You get weddings where you know your place and you're "The Help" and there are those you get where you feel so comfortable that you think...Hey! I'm uncle Bob! WELL this was an "Uncle Bob" wedding.
To those unfamiliar with 'Uncle Bob', he's the member of your family with the 'expensive' camera - the one with lotsa megapixels!... and he always annoys the "official" photographer at weddings.
He is an Expert, please note the capital 'E', in photography, does it as a hobby and always brings his camera to family gatherings.
To the "wedding photographer" he is the one (together with the videographer) whose butt will obstruct every magic moment on your wedding pictures! You know Uncle Bob since you were "this high" so he generally snaps good pics as you feel comfortable with him.
Kerry-Anne's and Derek's wedding was just that ... a special gathering. ..with close family, friends and "Uncle Bob" - times two..I shot with Dror, I was "Bob 1" and Dror was "Bob 2" ...twins in this family!
I had that warm "fuzzy" feeling throughout the day....and admit that their vows made "ice-lady" shed a tear, thank gawd I had my camera to hide behind, so no one saw! I swear I was never this emotional before, it must be the medication.
Thank you Kerry-Anne and Derek for a "Grand" day out, I'd do it again tommorrow ....and the next day!!! The rain held back and I got my green field! Here are my favourites from this very special day, tried to keep the numbers down but "Uncle Bob" insisted I include 'em all...
Kerry-Anne has a shoe fettish...so basically I would not get paid if I did not post this!
Another cool detail ...popcorn for confetti!
Uncle Bob 2 got this shot
Absolutely beautiful as usual.. and your comments on 'Uncle Bob' had me laughing out loud!

BTW...another reason I love graphic designers...is that they TOTALLY understand that patience equals perfection..and never have an issue with the time it takes to edit their wedding photographs.
Dror's pics 1,8 and 14 .....all crackers!
Gorgeous pics! I love them all
(11.07.07 @ 05:30 AM)Hello Andrea....
I am truly blown away by your photography! My husband Ben and I hosted Marne for a year in the U.S. and desparately wanted to be at the wedding so I can't wait to see MORE! I really wish I had someone with your eye and talent on my own wedding day...as a former art director, I once shot at a junkyard in Baltimore, Maryland. The result was amazingly cool...and what a great backdrop you have created for the gorgeous Marne in her lovely gown...well done!!! Your photography is breathtaking!!

(12.09.07 @ 03:30 AM)Hi Andrea, congratulations.
(12.10.07 @ 11:12 AM)I must admit I never thought I’d see a site with great wedding photographers around the world where Sergio from Amorphia, Jerry Ghionis and Anna Kuperberg were featured.. and little Ol' Andrea Carlyle from South Africa….maybe David made an error? Keep checking the site to see if my pic is still there!
