I had the rare and privileged pleasure of second-shooting a wedding with Dror - rare, because I don't get to second-shoot much for the best of possible reasons, since I have far too many of my own assignments.

It is always fun when I can attempt new things and flex my creative muscles, rather than the usual responsibilities and stress of being the main photographer!

Mpopi and Rorisang had a beautiful outside ceremony in the luscious Shepstone Gardens and I feel so lucky to have witnessed their big day. We tried to explore a few lesser-known locations to achieve a different element.

Check these out.....

Oh, BTW I think I may have been influenced by Dror, as it seems I have converted more than my usual "one image in a blue moon" into B&W

I have mentioned before, I do find it rather daunting/intimidating/nerve-wracking when I'm hired by another photographer and, in this particular instance, the pressure gauge was upped by two bars. Not only a photographer, but, a photographer who changed his wedding date in order to book me. Gasp.  No pressure. 

Sarah and Jay had a dreamy, whimsical outdoor picnic wedding and the simplicity and laid-back atmosphere was really beautiful.  Complete with fabulously quirky invites, a stunning bouquet, picnic baskets and blankets, fairy lights, a handmade cake topper and plenty more.

Thank you,  Sarah.   Thank you, Jay. 

We had an absolute blast with the two two of you - in fact, you barely noticed the cameras and were super-easy to photograph.

I hope you get Pulitzer prize-winning images in Thailand - No pressure! ;-)

Stella, my second shooter shot the image on the left.

The cake topper and wire flowers were handmade by Sarah.

How awesome, and different, is Sarah's wedding bouquet - once again handmade by Sarah.

I am not sure who's granny I captured? This was as Sarah walked down the aisle with her dad.

Once again too many images to select from (and too little time), so I am sure there will most definately a follow up post to this wedding.

Look what I found whilst busy editing Angie & Keith's wedding. I love these two photo's from Angie's getting ready session...

In the spirit of Friday (... and because, I just could not resist showing you these!)  I am posting some more pictures from this wedding.

I somehow tend to sway towards the creatives when selecting for the blog, so here you are, some real moments from Gabi & Llewelyn's ceremony and reception.
