Kleinevalleij Wedding

Part 2

This is Part 2 of Jo-Ann & Wayne’s gorgeous Kleinevalleij wedding! Jo-Anne & Waynes wedding was definitely a family affair and many family members travelled from the States and Scotland respectively! And family affairs include lots of cute children …and boy these children were the cutest little munchkins out there! And they all did their jobs fantastically …one small fall down stairs …but not a tear in sight …they all deserve a big box of sweeties, Aunty Jo-Anne & Uncle Wayne! They sure did you proud! Guests were treated to a sumptious meal and then the party started ..with the band, Me and Mr Brown entertaing the guests until the small hours and Cape Town Wedding Videos worked alongside me capturing this stunning wedding! The party was in full swing ….and it was great to see the groom on the dance floor for the whole evening! Part 1 can be viewed here

Glamour : A rising star – Lara!

Take note of this young lady …because I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of her one day ….she is going to give Charlize Theron a serious run for her money! This young lady is so extremely talented and has won some competitions with her acting …in fact ….she has already won a position on Binnelanders next year! And when she hits the big time ….she had better take me with her …lol! We had so much fun on the day of her shoot ….I would envision a scene, explain it to her …and let her act it …it was super cool and its hard to call this work …it was more like a play date!! Thanks to Ronel Smith for the stunning make-up once again …I am always confident in your work for my glamour shoots!

Wedding : A glamorous boudoir styled shoot

admin — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:01:23 +0000

I had two beauties in front of my lens ….and both young ladies are not only gorgeous but really stunning people too! Erin continues to have a very soft spot in my heart and I wish her so much success with her modelling career ….I just know she is going to be one of South Africa’s top models as she is absolutely exquisite …take a peek at this months Mens Health page 136 and see how absolutely beautiful she is! The other young lady is also very dear to my heart, Marli Basson, she is such a gentle, beautiful soul and I am so glad that I met her through Melany & Richards wedding on the West Coast last year. I love working with her …she is such an artist when it comes to Make-up and Hair! All future brides can do no wrong by choosing this lady to make them look absolutely beautiful on their wedding day. The idea for this styled shoot was to show brides that a beautiful, glamorous boudoir shoot on the morning of their wedding is a gorgeous gift to give their husbands! Ladies if you want to put a private smile on their faces …this is the way to do it! A big thank you to Tanglewood, Wellington, for allowing us to do this styled shoot here.

Wedding : Anna & Mark @ Tintswalo Lodge

Anna & Mark travelled all the way from the UK to have a stunning wedding at Tintswalo Lodge …the original blogpost is on my old blog and can be viewed here!

Merelene Joy did Anna’s make-up beautifully!

Anna & Mark

My beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones lookalike!!!

I met Mark and Anna four days before their wedding for their engagement shoot …..and i couldnt believe that Anna had never had a photo shoot before …she has the most beautiful face with the most gorgeous dimples!

And this beautiful lady only has eyes for Mark ….and I can understand why ….he is such an awesome man …and i cant help but say that i became really very fond of this young man! His manners are impeccable and he treated Anna like an absolute queen …but when i saw him interact with his own mother on the day of the wedding ….I knew that Anna was really marrying a true prince.

Mark is South African and grew up here and went to the local Wynberg Boys High School …but he decided to spread his wings and move to the UK ….and went to work for 3M where he met his gorgeous, Anna.

And when they decided to get married …they both agreed that they would get married here …..and what better place to get hitched than at the very beautiful, Tintswalo Lodge!

It seems their friends had no problems travelling to sunny South Africa to watch these nuptials take place! I did wonder though if the company, 3M had grinded to a halt for this wedding …..as there was a large amount of their staff at this wedding!!!

I must give a shout out to the most amazing, organised make-up artist, Merlene Joy!
