Back to feeling human again, a bit of a croaky cough, but hey!, human, finally!

 
Whilst I do hate being sick, there is something that felt good about sleeping for an entire day, (and not feeling guilty). Years of young children and sleep deprivation all caught up in three days!.

BUT (there is always one of them in the equation) while it's always good to have a full day of sleep, albeit with the most ghastly flu, there is always that dreaded return to the (enter four letter word) WORK.

Editing, emails and the rest pile up, deadlines have to be shifted and you invariably end up more stressed than you were before you became sick.

No post without a pic, back to the grindstone tonight and an overlooked beaut from Chantal & Jp's wedding.

Another thing I planned on doing on a regular basis was to post client testimonials. As you can see it has not happened!

So here you are two for now, and I will try and post one every now and then.

Dear Andrea
 
I don't think I can get everything I want to say in this email because you guys were just incredible.  Florian and I wanted to thank you and Ursula.  You both were just amazing on our wedding day.  So many of our friends and family commented on you guys and said how professional and friendly you were.  You are such a hoot, you made us feel so relaxed and we really enjoyed the day.  I feel like we will have the most amazing photographs and we hardly posed for a single one.  That actually says more about you both than it does about us. 
 
We were completely uncontactable for most of our honeymoon and towards the end we managed to get an internet connection at one of the lodges.  We were so excited when we saw the blog.  The glimpse into the day looks amazing.
 
It was so lovely to have you both at our wedding.  It felt like you were our guests and friends and not one of our suppliers.  Thank you for making our day so special.  We cannot wait to see the finished product.
 
Thanks again.
 
Tracy and Florian
Xxx

I have a hidden agenda for the next one, one reason for posting this one is that I am glad to hear that even after close to two years, couples still love their photo's. But the main motive was that I wanted to see this picture BIG on the new blog.

Hi Andrea
 
David and I have been married now for over a year and a half (I just can't believe how quickly time goes by). I still visit your website every now and again, every time I'm amazed by your wonderful photos.
 
It brings back so many good memories and I'm so glad we chose you as our photographer for our special day in Clarens.
 
May you have many more success stories and thousands of excellent award-winning photos!
 
Regards
Liza-Mari (and David)

Yay!

I have finally finished selecting images to show you all some of the photos from Simone's and Willem's absolutely stunning wedding.

Their wedding was held at Green Leaves and went so perfectly well, you'd think they rehearsed it for weeks!

The combination of the nice location, a beautiful day, and a gorgeous couple made the day so much more fun to be a part of.

I seem to be saying that all my couples are gorgeous, but, they really are - have a look for yourself:

Love this photo (above), and unfortunately it is not mine, Paul, my second shooter on the day, snapped this image. I hate it when my favourite image is not mine ;-) !
