Liezl and Michael are the kind of couple that absolutely make me love what I do. What a fabulous wedding.....with so many details. Liezl designed everything from the table cards, the name badges, the cards on the "sweet" counter etc.....so many spectacular details!
So talented is Liezl that she even made her own dress, bought the fabric in white and was brave enough to dye it! I reakon she would have taken the pics herself if it was physically possible!
The reception took place on a boat at Stonehaven and the sun played its role by lighting up the river with it's sunset! Michael and Liezl all I can say is.....let your love shine through as it will keep you together forever! I knew Liezl wanted great pics, by the thousands upon thousands of links on wedding photography she emailed through, so worked the couple a little harder than most...but I think that the pics speak for themselves...thanks for your patience Michael!
Hmm, some nice images here, love the angles and colour!
I met Jules tonight, wonderful woman, I believe you met too.
(09.18.07 @ 07:24 PM)WOW! What a gorgeous wedding and couple! I can't believe she made that dress herself...It could pass for a designer couture. Love the non-traditional details......
I agree with Michael the images are stunning!
(09.19.07 @ 03:01 AM)wow, amazing pics there, love 'the' shot over the boat! Great to meet you yesterday, next time it's on me!
(09.19.07 @ 08:30 AM)Thanx for the compliments.....not really good at this comments bit! ...as if you haven't noticed
(09.21.07 @ 11:16 AM)don't like things out of order..a bit of a control freak sometimes..so here after being "dragged" around and photographed ..and I know he was annoyed...here are Michael's comments after the wedding:
Hey Andrea
Even though I was rather fussed about the amount of pics that you took on our wedding day (mostly due to the fact that the crowd was getting hungry and that some of them were already looking at us with a Hannibal Lecter look on their faces), I must say it was well worth it at the end of the day.
I don’t think Liezl could have chosen a better photographer to capture the magic of the day.
I’m sure the pics will ellicit the same emotions even 50 years from now when I look at them again and I’ll be able to relive the day every time.
Thanks for the woenderful work. Keep it up!
WOW that view and venue is to die for......
This pics are awesome!!!!!! I really need to find another word/vocabulary since I keep using the same word over and over but really it is because they are AWESOME!!!!
(09.04.07 @ 04:10 PM)Hi Andrea, these are stunning, love the colours and must agree with you they seem incredibly relaxed in front of the lens. Weekend away weddings are tremendous fun, the atmosphere and vibe of everybody involved just lends itself to stunning imagery. And you have done yourself and your clients proud. Thanks for sharing.
Take care

Thaba Ya Batswana - Lauren & Wesley put together an incredible wedding, everything about the day oozed with character and style, with Wesley being a graphic designer and Lauren (...and let's not forget her mom!) being a stickler for perfection, the attention to small details was incredible. I could have just posted the pics of the details!
Wesley even created a logo "wesleyloveslauren" that branded all the wedding stationary...it was clear that alot of thought and effort went into it all. BTW...mom and Dad were instructed, by the couple, to wear latex gloves when handling the wedding stationary.
Arriving early I scouted the venue for various backdrops to use for the "creative portraits" and had a couple of options on my list.....and then my biggest fear as a wedding photographer....we ran out of "natural light". Thank goodness the venue had a couple of interesting nooks with some incredible lighting that we were able to use ...that and the amazing sunset have resulted in some great pics!
I really had a brilliant time, thanks Lauren and Wesley for having me document your special day. I hope that when you get back to the UK your images will reflect a bit the "African soil" where you exchanged your vows. My only regret? ....that I did not get to see Wesley perform live.....groupies and all! Enough babbling here are the highlights.....

Andrea,
John and I have finally arrived home. We are so thrilled with your "sneak peek". You have done an excellent job, only problem is, you have now left us wanting more. The photo's are fantastic. Thank you so much. Andrea also a big thank you for your attention to detail and I am sure you have captured the whole lot. I would also like to put on record our thanks for making Wesley and Lauren's day so special. The guests that we have spoken to since the wedding have all commented on the two lady photographers and how fantastic you were. Thank you. We have given them your website as a contact.
with our kindest regards and warm wishes.
Rose and John West

Really great images here Andrea. Love 4, 5, 6 & 13
