SOUTH AFRICAN ELEPHANT SAFARI | COUPLE SHOOT
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
'Oh Africa, you have my Heart!' ~ Me
I had an amazing weekend with this beautiful couple, Greg & Rime from France. Greg Finck is one of my favourite photographers and I have been following his work for a couple of years. Rime Arodaky, who's work I saw through Greg, is a very talented wedding dress designer (SA, you want her dresses here in SA - lets get her to come open up a showroom here)! We finally met in March and I can honestly say Greg & Rime are such an amazing couple, down to earth and just warm people. They came to South Africa to relax and see a bit of our beautiful country.
For their couple session we got to photograph them experiencing these gentle giants from Adventures with Elephants. These beautiful animals have been rescued after being called 'problem' elephants, but are living a peaceful life here at Adventures', and they are definitely not problem animals. Please go and visit their website or even their reserve to educate yourself on how lovely these giants are.
LUSH GREEN RAINY WEDDING PRETORIA
This wedding was like a music festival! Gangs of Ballet, Monarch & Rubber Duc all rolled into a beautiful green lush wedding inside a see through marquee.
Happy Valentines day everyone! I wanted to share a very beautiful and different wedding with you today. This is Matthew & Justine's wedding, on their private estate in Pretoria. I absolutely loved this wedding because it wasn't the normal set-up, it was probably the most entertaining wedding ever! And it rained, a lot, but the rain was of no concern to this bride and groom, they were there to enjoy a spectacular day with friends and family!
Now, just imagine you get to a wedding and your favourite South African band is playing there (like, a private rock show with just you and your friends and family) hello Gangs of Ballet...., oh and did I mention, it wasn't just one band that played...there were 3 bands and a DJ!
Music Organizers Flipside Productions | Priest Craig Friederichs | Food Fresh | Dress Anel Botha | Decor Hire Society | Hair Saadique Ryklief | Makeup Lesley Whitby | DJ Francois Booyse | On the day Co-ordinator Nikki Gaskell | Bands; Gangs of Ballet, Monarch & Rubber Duc | Solo Artist Lulu Lund | Special Thanks to Ermaine Morris.
TORONTO ENAGEMENT
Loved my time in Canada! Here is Graham & Ly's engagement session, photographed in their backyard and neigborhood.
I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words, how wonderful life is now, that you are in my world. ~ Elton John
I had the privilege of photographing Graham & Ly's engagement session in their neighborhood in Toronto, Canada. This shoot was urban bliss and it was fantastic sharing the day with these two - I definitely have to go back to Canada again soon! Next time maybe when it is a bit warmer ;)
