London
Iwan and Leandri
London Town was calling! I did a quick pit stop to London before my trip to France and I caught up with past brides and future brides!
I was looking forward to having this lovely couple in front of my lens in the full swing of Autumn! What a joke! England was having one of their best summers and who would have believed that the sun was out and the flowers were still blooming! All my winter clothes stayed at the bottom of the suitcase!
Leandri was one of my past brides and it was awesome to meet up with her and Iwan. Four years ago, when I captured their wedding, I thought they were pretty perfect for one another.
Iwan and Leandri are now living and working in London. Living abroad will test most relationships but this one had strong foundations from the very beginning and they have become a very strong and united partnership. Their love and respect for one another is obvious to anyone who meets them.
Leandri was absolutely gorgeous on her wedding day but I have to admit, she has matured into an amazing beauty. She is one of those ladies whose beauty shines from within! I truly felt as if I had a supermodel in front of my lens!
As anyone who has been to London knows, there are always tourists around and St Pauls Cathedral is probably one of the busiest tourist attraction due to the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer all those years ago. Luckily though, if you walk around St Pauls you will find spots that are not as busy and its easier to do a photoshoot.
I have always had an amazing time in London. I can’t believe it was only a year ago that I was last here with my husband and had toured the Cotswold and Oxford. Its amazing how much changes in a year. Last year we were living in Dubai. We travelled to London and ended up meeting up with Suzanne, my friend from Dubai ….and a year later, we are back in Cape Town and Suzanne is now living in London and graciously hosted my sister and myself during our stay in London. How small the world has become, and how fortunate I am to have friends around the world! I count myself very blessed!
