Destination Weddings l Mauritius - Sneak Peak

Mohan (Mo) and Jacqui planned their destination wedding, held at the Sands Resort and Spa in Mauritius, all the way from Perth, Australia. It was our first destination wedding and so it was with great, and obvious excitement, that we boarded the plane for Mauritius.

We cannot lie, we were giggling like children when we arrived at the Sands Resort and Spa which sits right on the water, with it's own private beach and has more palm trees than we could count. Yes, we tried but gave up. We were to distracted by a ridiculously calm, blue ocean that stretched out in front of us.

A small and close group of friends and family, just over fifty in total, flew in from all over the world to celebrate the wedding with Mo and Jacqui. It was a wedding with many beautiful and awesome differences, and one which we are glad to share a small sneak peak with you now.

Mo and Jacqui, your are amazing people. You made us feel a welcome part of the small but special group of people at your wedding. We are so grateful that you brought us all the way to Mauritius to document your celebration.

love

Sneak-Peek: Kobus & Lynette Love Shoot

Sometimes it's worth putting yourself and your clients in an uncomfortable position for the awesomeness of great pictures. In this case we all nearly froze our a$$es off on the beach at Big Bay, Cape Town, yesterday evening. It was totally worth it though. The light was perfect.

Thank you Kobus and Lynette, you were patient and full of giggles all the way through.

We will be covering Kobus and Lynette's wedding at Standkombuis in September. Can't wait. Also, look out for a super-awesome collaboration between welovepictures and Seven Swans Stationary for their wedding invitation, coming soon.

P.S Click here and here to appreciate these bad boys in full-screen-awesomeness.

It seemed like a good idea at the time

While sorting through our archives we found this really special image from a wedding we covered a couple of years ago.

We think it speaks for itself. ;)

Luff Booth?

Sometimes...ok, most of the time, we can't help ourselves and we just have to jump into the Love Booth at a wedding. It's just too much fun people! This weekend Kate and Travis covered Lindsey and Hayley's wedding in Joburg while Maike was resting and of course, they made an appearance in the Love Booth.

Wim & Endri's sweet Free-State Farm Wedding

Wim & Endri
23rd April 2011
Smithfield,
Free State

Ohwowee! What a wedding!

Wim and Endri, our new and awesome Namibian Architect friends, got married in a tiiiiiiny-sweet-and-lovely-sleepy Free State town called Smithfield. We knew this wedding would be a killer when we received their Invite via e-mail (a super cute printable invite that included a video with instructions as to how to fold the invite into an Origami bird) and we could hardly contain our excitement as we stepped off the plane in Bloemfontein, trying hard not to bounce up and down with delight.

Endri grew up in Smithfield, so naturally they decided to get married on her parents family farm (oh so lovely!), with the ceremony being held in a eucalyptus forest and the reception at the farm house.
The weather was a little devil and did not play along, but man-oh-man was it special to witness these guys getting married in the rain surrounded by huge and happy smiles from their soaked family and friends. But it wasn't all grey, the sun decided to peep out just in time for their Portrait Session and quickly dried us up again, plus we got some killer shots in some of the most beautiful light!

The evening ended with rounds of Namibian Shooters and red lid-noses and rosy cheeks and everyone danced the cold away!

Wim and Endri, congratulations and thank you for letting us be part of your awesome wedding! It was well worth the wet feet and freezing cold! :)

love,
