Weddings

Dave & Karen

Ok … to kick off this post I need to make one thing abundantly clear – I freaking LOVE Dave and Karen. Seriously, I don’t know where these two came from, but it’s undeniable that they both fell directly out of the awesome-tree. Through more than a year of planning and venue changes and Karen’s nightmares about realizing she’s walking down the aisle holding a bouquet of broccoli, I’ve formed such a beautiful and wonderful friendship with these folks who started out as clients. I have never before been so overwhelmed by the tangible love on a wedding day, not only between this couple and their divine son Jesse, but amongst all the friends and family present. This wedding was, to my mind, perfect on every possible level. I’ve written about five drafts of this pretext already, and each time I’ve realised that if I say everything I would like and that is on my heart when I look back on this day … nobody will even know there are pictures attached to this post! I walked away from this day reminded once again of exactly why my heart and soul are in this job and industry. Please let these pictures say everything I can’t, and Dave and Karen … it’s a blessing to know you and to have been honoured to walk this incredible journey with you. I hope the images are worth the wait and bring back a little of the magic the two of you created at Towerbosch this year. All my love, xxx

P.S. I also need to say a very special thank you to my friend Carien from Love of Light Photography, who drove all the way down from Vredendal to second shoot with me! Couldn’t have done it without you Niggie! xxx
