We have said yes to very few family portrait requests over the last couple years. Mostly due to inconvenient timing or a heavy wedding workload. We said yes to Elizabeth Kershaw's request though and we are ever so glad we did.
We had a great time this evening in the (not so little anymore) fishing village of Hermanus on the south coast of the Western Cape, South Africa. The family were great fun, the light was wonderful and then amazing at the very end of the session and we really enjoyed the change of scenery - both geographically and photographically.
Here's a small teaser from the start of the session at the beach.
Enjoy.

Ruan and Antoinet, an Accountant-dream-team, got married in the beautiful little village of Irene. They planned an outdoor ceremony at Jansen huis, on the lawns of a grand Farm house owned by family friends, and across from Antoinet's parents home.
The reception and party was at home, smack in the middle of her Mother's beautiful garden, full of scents, blooms and spring-time!
These guys were so easy to photograph - damn good-looking, huge smiles, belly laughs and bear hugs - this is why we love what we do!
The ceremony was somewhat interrupted by an unexpected highveld storm (oh how we've missed those in the Cape!), but nothing could stop this crowd. They just all cuddled up next to the bride & groom underneath the massive apple tree - the sweetest and most intimate way to be included in a couple's exchanging of vows. And oh-so typical of those awesome highveld storms, it had passed by the time they smooched their first kiss!
Ruan and Antoinet, thank you for being so damn beautiful and letting us document your day!
Stay awesome!
love
