I’m more than a little lost for words when I think back on this wedding. Even as I sit here in the winter sunshine of Cape Town, Graydon and Adri’s images take me back so vividly to their special day last May … the moody skies visible across Morgan Bay Beach. Excited chatter throughout the Hotel while guests and staff delighted in the run up to the big wedding we’d all been waiting for. Watching a friend who I’ve known since we were both only just old enough to be being told off in a high school biology class, marry the man she’s loved with her whole heart since the moment they met. These moments are all things that can never fully convey their emotion through mere words, and as always, I’m relieved to have a lovely collection of images to help me tell the story a little better! Graydon and Adri … thank you for sharing the whole of the last wedding season involving me in the excitement and planning of your dream day. This wedding, was my very last of the 2013/2014 season, and all the exhaustion of a busy year photographing many beautiful couples on their own special days, evaporated in a way I’ve never experienced before, when I stepped into the surreal world of you wedding weekend in the Eastern Cape. I’m honoured to have been able to share this with you, and I’m overjoyed to finally give you this blog post. I send you both all the love and best wishes possible, Claire xxx
