Bianca and Michael

I was booked more than a year ago to photograph Bianca and Michaels wedding, and what an incredible wedding it was. Yes it was a loooong day, but the imagery that we managed to create more than compensated, and i would not have had it any other way.

Bianca treasure and values photographs, and she made sure that there would be loads of time to capture hers and Michaels special day. I am not sure how she managed to get all the best men and page boys ready before 8 in the morning but she did. You just got to love this girl.

I arrived at Michael’s parents home at 08h30 and outside I  was greeted by all the guys already dressed , ready and waiting. We did some funky cools shots in a half built house next door and then moved on to the more serious portraits. I had an absolute blast. Thanks guys for being such willing subjects.

Met up with Bianca just after 10, and the girls were all excited, giggling and excitedly getting ready. i had the most gorgeous dressing room to photograph in. Loads of natural window light and tons of space and time.

Family shots are always hectic, and this time it was no different with lots of arm movements, gesticulating and just having fun we finished more or less on time. Onto the bridal party shoot, it was “happy crazy” in a fun way, we captured some images at a nearby field, then moved onto a shopping centre in Sandton, had drinks at a local restaurant, stopped cars in the road and had a BLAST.

Bianca had planned her day to the T, and we were running on schedule , moving onto towards the Hilton we did a few last minute shots and then it was on to the reception.

Yea it was a long day, but most important we had fun and I could not have asked for more.
Bianca and Michael you folks are extremely blessed, you have a tremendous friends and family and I feel very honored to have been part of your day.

Highlights, to many to mention but the shot with the guys and girls deserves mention, the city shoot 10/10 , Bruce from the Face Box ( photo booth ) was a huge hit. DJ Paul rocked the crowd and kept them on the dance floor. Sergio for being a great friend and helping out during the shoot.

Above: This must rate as one of my all time favourite images captured at a wedding. There is just something about this one. The expressions of the bridesmaids and the interaction is special.

Above: As we had loads of time, we decided to do a Bridal portrait of all the bridesmaids and flowergirls. Very traditional but classic and timeless.

Above: Bianca and Michael were walking back to the alter after giving thanks, when I noticed that one of the bridesmaids was holding Bianca’s veil, the light and the feel of this image tells a story. Another one of my favs from the shoot.

Above: This must have been one of the luckiest men at the wedding, love the smile. pure Bliss.

Above: Love the interaction of the bridal party here,One of the bestmen is kissing a bridesmaid with everyone looking on. The expressions are priceless.
