Our second appointment on Saturday was with Candace and Terence, like Sam and Mark they too are getting married at Christ Church Constantia and their reception is at Steenberg. Their date is one week later on the 21st August. This will be my 7th wedding for the Burchell clan. A family, I might add, that I am very fond of as I have got to know them well over the years. Anyway, here are a couple of their images for you.
It seems like it has been forever since I last uploaded a post to this blog. Anyway I can proudly say that the July holidays are over and the new season is upon us. On Saturday Heather and I went for a drive to see our August couples. We did a pre wedding shoot with them. Here are the images from Sam and Mark’s shoot they are getting married on the 14th August at Christ Church Constantia followed by Steenberg Golf estate.
So! Wedding number four at Simondium. I do love this venue. This time Heather and I decided to stay over after the wedding. What a treat. We were treated like royalty. Lisa and Rosco were married at St George’s church on the Solms Delta farm near Franschhoek. At their reception they provided their guests with an interesting surprise. They had organized some light lanterns for them to send off into the sky. The sky was lit up with all the lanterns. They had let the control tower at Cape Town International airport know what was happening. Once they had all been sent up they phoned the airport only to hear that a few people had already phoned in to let them know. Here are a few of their images.
This has got to have been one of the busiest winter seasons that I have ever experienced. Heather, Max, Marc and I have been traveling around with a tour of Chinese people. They are all connected with the Hyundai motor group and they are out here to celebrate the world cup with us.
Anyway back to the wedding front, I first met Pietie and Heloise at Anja and Johann’s wedding earlier this year. Pietie was the MC at this wedding. Last weekend Heloise and Pietie were married at Simondium. The couple were so much fun to photograph. Here are a few of their images for you to see.
Two hundred rand notes… instead of confetti, lovebirds Theo and Deidre decided to have their congregation use shredded two hundred rand notes to shower over them as they left their ceremony at last weekends wedding. A novel idea I thought. I have been to weddings were the guests have attached money to the couples clothes, but this takes the cake. Over the next five weeks I will be covering four weddings at the beautiful Simondium country manor. This venue is a place that Heather and I have come to love. It is a very homely place. The staff lead by Haneke are so professional. It is a pleasure to photograph functions at this venue. Here are a few of Deidre and Theo’s images. Enjoy.
