I was referred to Marita by Clea and Stav (Malawi destination wedding), whose pictures were apparently all it took for Marita to want to book me on the spot. Fortunately I was going to be in Plettenberg Bay at the time so it was meant to be :-)

I am not supposed to be in the office yet, but i couldn’t wait to post Marita and Brendon’s pictures. The first post is their e-session / rehearsal on the beach and the second post is their wedding. I met the two of them for their e-session and rehearsal on the beach and all I can say is wow, what a great couple and they are not bad looking either :-)
As usual it was the décor first and then off to the bride for the bridal prep and man was there a lot going on. Bridesmaids, flower girls, Mom, makeup but there was definitely organisation in the chaos :-). The next thing I knew Kuai wraps and juices arrived and were offered around. Greg and I got busy with the dress and shoes before setting up for Giselle’s boudoir session. When she mentioned this in the room her mom was horrified that we would be shooting her in her lingerie (clearly she didn’t mention this to her mom :-) )
This was the first time I had been at Oakfield Farm this year, it is one of the nicest venues I have been to and Jacquie and Kevin’s wedding did not disappoint. When we walked into the bridal dressing room I soon saw the craziness we were about to experience. Everything from nerves, hungry tummies, crazy manic laughter – it was going to be a good day :-)
It is pretty amazing how having 14 guys in suits can get traffic to stop and people to stop and stare. The day started off early, and I mean very early for me. I had asked the guys to meet me in the underground parking and we started off with a shot I had seen in my mind and knew I just had to shoot. Fortunately the 14 strong entourage were happy to be instructed and pushed around to get the shot :-)
