I feel somewhat awkward typing this wedding post onto my almost 2-month wedding-free blog.
As far as wedding ceremonies are concerned, June and July are considered the inactive months - although, I might add, it has been anything but quiet or idle on my side, with lots of paperwork, editing catch-up and a 6-year-old's pirate party to organise.
Anyhow, I think the bulk of the 'to do' list is over and done with and seeing as the new season's about to start, normal blogging will resume.
Rumbidzai and Bandile were my inaugural couple of the 2010 season and it was a nice, mellow wedding to kick-start proceedings.
I've so many favourite photographs and below are just a handful to allow you a modest glimpse into such a memorable day. I will save my words and let each frame paint the picture. I'll say one thing though: I have been blessed with having had the opportunity to witness and photograph this beautiful couple.







Not my Shtyle*; On another note, during one of my productive spurts, I managed to click onto a photoshare link that was sent through to me. My curiousity got the better of me and upon registering, I noticed the "shtyle.fm" website e-mailed my entire contacts list. Please ignore this request - it'll certainly teach me not to get so easily distracted.

It's been a whirlpool couple of weeks around here. Too many things going on; playing catch-up and, quite simply, just not enough time.
I am in need of simplicity, rest and revitalisation. . . a short break from my daily obligations.
The studio will be closed from the 7th August - 12th August 2010.
(All emails and phonecalls will be answered on my return)
The workshop sold out in the very first week! How awesome is that? Just one couple cancelled, so two places (obviously) are available should you wish to join us, which you can do by merely browsing the workshop website.
We now need a model for the workshop. Any takers out there? .... anyone?
It will be a fun afternoon with a trash-the-dress theme of shooting - although, I promise your wedding frock will not be ruined. We tend to attract very adventurous personalities, so should you sway towards the self-assured, then you're also more than welcome.
If you are predisposed to being photographed by 20 different people, and prepared to stand in the most ridiculous spots, then please email us at bookings@theworkshops.co.za to lay your hands on more details.
Madelaine, a very talented make-up artist, has kindly agreed to do make up and we will provide you with the images submitted together with a couple of prints.
Beautiful image and beautiful location! Wow! Where was this taken?

(07.30.10 @ 05:56 PM)I have been very quiet on this blog for far too long, so just a quick little something, once again all in the name of procrastination, and back to the grind I go.

I can't pinpoint exactly how I initially scan and ultimately select images I'm partial to for the blog, but, for some reason or another, I'm not especiallly accomplished at this particular task, as I tend to neglect images like this.

You are absolutely amazing Andrea! I have just spent the last 3hrs looking at all the amazing photos. If only you were in Australia!!! I want to move to South Africa now...
(07.20.10 @ 01:44 PM)There are some awesome Australian photographers on that side too! I have a long list of Australian photographers that I aspire to.
