Corné and Lara I Love Shoot I Newlands, Cape Town

Friends! Meet the very sweet Corné and Lara - an Australian-based husband & wife photography team.
They got in touch while planning a trip to Cape Town for the holidays and wanted to have some portraits made. We spent a beautiful afternoon hanging out with them at the Newlands Reservoir, chatting and joking around while we waited for the light to soften. In typical Cape Town fashion grey weather rolled in instead. They weren't fussed though as we adventured through forest in the cool light and made some beautiful portraits.

Great couple. If you are planning a wedding on the Gold Coast get in touch with them.

Great Couples Make Great Pictures

We've said it so many times before and Janina & Lean have proved us right again -

Great couples really do make great pictures.  During genuine moments like this the photographers role is reduced to mere observer or technician pressing a button. Not to take anything away from ourselves necessarily but we can hardly claim it all can we?

These two are pure beaut's!

More of their wedding at Babylonstoren soon, we promise.

Intimate International Wedding In The Hidden Valley | Stellenbosch | Manar and Hussain

We can't be sure but Manar and Hussain's wedding at Hidden Valley Wine Estate must certainly be one of the most international weddings we have ever covered.  Guests from Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Canada, America and too many other places to remember. This is of course fitting of a couple with a very international story.  Manar is from Eritrea, Hussain is from Palestine and they both met at Stanford, and they both speak a number of languages including French. This was a wedding full of eclectic tastes, sounds and people.  Great pictures just happen with this combination. 

We have said it many times before, intimate weddings are wonderful to photograph and are of course even better to attend as a guest. They have the feeling of a large dinner party and the smaller group usually has a better chance to mingle and make the most of the good company they find themselves in. This was even more evident with such an international crowd who were soaking up every aspect of the day and the gorgeous Cape surroundings they found themselves in. 

The guests we're equally spoilt by the talented staff at the Overture Restaurant , led by Bertus Basson, with a dining experience that only one of the top 5 restaurants in the country can provide. 

Kate and Kim, from Wedding Concepts  did a wonderful job with the wedding and it was great to be able to work with them again.  We we're also pleased to see Heike from Fleur Le Cordeur again. Her flowers and arrangements are just beautiful every time. She's also just super nice.

Congratulations Manar and Hussain.
