Wedding: Lyndie & Landon, Old Halliwell, KZN Midlands PART 1

I have fond memories of Lyndie and Landon’s wedding at Old Halliwell in the Kwa-Zulu Natal midlands last month. The bride was beautiful, the groom wore a kilt, we were surrounded by loving family members and I was so touched by Landon’s sincere love for Lyndie. Not only did he write her a poem but he sang her a beautiful song which he had written especially for the occasion. It’s almost like I was wearing rose tinted glasses on the day, I really only remember all the love and positive energy and not the purring rain. The rain on their wedding day was not just ordinary rain. It was a torrential down pour which began just as we were about to start their creative  shoot. We moved indoors and I excitedly found some soft, dreamy, romantic window light to shoot in. I am so grateful to Lyndie and Landon for trusting me during the down pour – I took some amazing photographs which you can see next week when I post part 2. Here is Part 1 of Lyndie and Landon’s wedding up in the KZN midlands at Old Halliwell.

Taryn & Brandon Calderwood Hall, KZN Midlands, PART 1

Taryn and Brandon’s wedding took place at the newly renovated Calderwood Hall last month, in the KZN Midlands. Taryn was such a vibrant bride, with so many different facial expressions! We had so much fun with this couple, experiencing their sincere love for each other. The speeches were some of the best I have heard and the dancing, what a party. Here are some photos from Taryn & Brandon’s wedding, look at the beautiful decor…

Wendy & Geoff’s engagement shoot on the Durban beachfront

I photographed Wendy & Geoff’s engagement shoot on the Durban beachfront a few weeks back and they were so much fun considering it was about 6:30 am. I’m not much of a morning person but the Durban sun on the beachfront during the early morning is enough to get me out of bed – dreamy, soft and romantic. Wendy and Geoff are such a great couple, they really are. It was so great meeting up with them for coffee for a pre-wedding consult which resulted in them booking me for their wedding at the end of the year and an engagement shoot. I am so looking forward to their wedding – from what Wendy has told me it’s going to be a stylish affair. Having met with Wendy I am once again reminded how small the world is. Wendy knows Gita who’s wedding I photographed back in 2010 and it turns out Wendy’s sister met my husband over the weekend at a friends birthday party. I wasn’t there as I was photographing a wedding. It really is crazy how we are all connected in some small way.

Enjoy the pics!

Taryn & Lloyd’s wedding at Shalwyn in the Tala Valley

Taryn & Lloyd’s wedding up at Shalwyn was one filled with smiles, hearty laughter, games, family and love. Taryn and Lloyd were seriously smiling the whole day, even when it started to rain during their creative shoot. Nothing seemed to really worry them. I really enjoyed sharing their special day with them. It was such a pleasure. Thank you Taryn & Lloyd for being so awesome!

This ring was Taryn’s granny’s ring, which was also Taryn’s mom’s wedding ring, and is now Taryn’s wedding ring.
