Vivacious René and Victoria arrived at our first meeting, for some cocktails and chit-chat ahead of their engagement shoot that afternoon. This couple is a tidal wave of positive energy and enthusiasm for every door that life opens for them! International as international could be, Canadian born Victoria, who lives and works in Saudi Arabia, met her dapper South Africa fiancé, René, a little over a year ago. Judging however by the couples confidence and ease in themselves and in one another it’s hard to imagine that they don’t already have many years together behind them! Being that their family and friends are so widely scattered across the globe, they were very keen to have Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain included in their engagement shoot. We agreed that Signal Hill’s unsurpassable views would be our best bet to capture this. Well … not only did we capture it, but basked in it until the afternoon was no more! Once the sun had set, we all found ourselves glued to the cityscape. Watching dusk settle over Cape Town and seeing the lights brighten as the city grew dark. To Victoria’s delight, we were even able to hear the call to prayer from a nearby Mosque, reminding her of the dusky sounds of her home in Saudi! René and Victoria, I remember this evening so clearly. Even though I’ve lived in this area my entire life, this was in fact my first sunset on Signal Hill, and it will now be a memory that I’ll forever share with the two of you. I’ll go up there more frequently I hope, and think back on our little adventure while smiling. I hope you’ll enjoy finally seeing these pictures and I can’t wait to edit and share your wedding! All my love, Claire
