We've been so busy shooting beautiful weddings and we just can't seem to find the time to blog them all. But Liebe and Arnold's wonderful Carnival-inspired wedding was just too amazing not to blog.

We met with Liebe more than a year ago and have - together with our studio mates, the lovely girls from Seven Swans - slowly watched this wedding unfold. Seven Swans created all the wonderful stationary: from the beautiful invites to the sweet Smartie boxes with love notes.
What a treat it was when the day finally arrived for us to document it all!

We braved one looooong dirt road on a very hot day and arrived at a little oasis in the heart of the Overberg, amidst a patchwork of wheatfields and what felt to be in the middle of nowhere - a paradise called Halfaampieskraal.
Liebe and Arnold, together with the lovely owners of Halfaampieskraal had created a wonderland for us. We got lost in it, documenting every beautiful little detail and the sweet-sweet love these guys share, and came out feeling dizzy, happy and smiling from ear-to-ear... like two kids that had spent a day at a carnival - giddy and high from too many rides and too much candyfloss.

love,

There came a time recently where we realised that , besides our books, we had basically stopped printing. We don't know how it happened? Blame digital, blame us, who knows but all we knew is that we didn't like it. We missed selecting special images for print, running our fingers over a choice of textured or matt fine art paper stocks. We had forgotten the excitement of watching the printer head move back and forth as the picture revealed itself on paper and in the end, the joy of holding the print in our hands.

Print more people. There will come a day where can't anymore.
