Louis & Nadine's Garden Wedding

Oh wowzers! If ever there has ever been a wedding-post that was INSANELY overdue, it would have to unfortunately be this one... and these guys are some of our favorite people! (friends, we're so sorry you had to wait this long. we suck)

Meet our awesome friends Louis and Nadine!

Nadine is a rock-star. A little less the a year ago, she single-handedly co-ordinated our wedding. After a hugely underestimated and massively failed attempt to DIY the whole thing on our own, Travis and I realized we needed the super powers of our insanely talented friend Nadine, and she jumped in short-notice and made sure our wedding ran smoothly. It's thanks to her that our day turned out the way it did :)

A few months later (and much to our anticipation) Louis (yep, the Louis Minnar) finally popped the question, and so with huge smiles and delight we could finally return the favour - and shoot their wedding! Yay!

Louis and Nadine got married in our hometown, Pretoria, in the lovely leafy area of Brooklyn, in their parents beautiful & lush back garden. We knew this one would be a killer, with Nadine's sweet style and Louis multi-talented skills, it turned out to be one of our favorite weddings ever. Psssst... we're allowed to be biased. Loads of good friends, endless giggles and huge laughs, beautiful food (!!!) and a little too much wine, means Louis & Nadine receive our '2011 sweetest wedding award' :)

Louis and Nadine, thank you SO much for a beautiful wedding, for your awesome love and above all His love, and for all you have done for us and mean to us. weloveyou.

love,

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.

love,
