Leanne & Tobias | Part One

kim — Thu, 17 May 2012 07:35:55 +0000

I was so happy when the day finally arrived for Leanne and Tobias’ wedding. They are such lovely people and I knew their special day was going to be filled with love, laughter and sweet sunshine!

The reception was held at the Coetzee’s farm at Badfontein. It is just outside Lydenburg and is such a beautiful area. Filled with this blue sky and a breathtaking escarpment that runs for kilometres. It was a whole family affair and “potjies” were put to work with loads of chopping and dicing. And tables were set and ready for the celebration.

But first to town we headed for the beautiful ceremony held at the Dutch Reformed church in Lydenburg.

Org & Marie

Meet Oom Org and Tannie Marie. When I suggested photos to these two I could see a tinge of dread on their faces. But also a small glimpse of excitement and possibility. And so it was a beautiful April afternoon I travelled to their home just outside Lydenburg. Whatever these two dreaded quickly fled away as we walked around their farm and “lekker ge-lag” (directly translated: laughed nicely). Hahaha!!

Their farm is so beautiful and the colours like eye-candy. Their lovely home that the built themselves twelve years ago stands at the foot of a hill and the view is amazing. Almost unreal (see last panorama photo).

Org and Marie have been married for 46 years and the love and laughter still resonates. Being in their company is good and I am blessed to have spent this time with them.

Enjoy your photo’s you two! And Oom Org don’t be so hard on yourself. Grey hair is quite fashionable today!

Abafazi | Dinah

So by now you all should be more familiar with the name abafazi and what it’s all about. (If not, please search it here on my site and see all the work we have done..)

Well today I am very excited to introduce you all to Dinah. She is an up-and-coming model and is aiming high with the help and amazing support of some very good friends. We thought it only fitting to give her some great exposure and practice in front of the camera and joined up with abafazi to put together this shoot.

As you can see Dinah is beautiful and wish her all the best in all her modelling ventures!

Thanks to all the helping hands that day: Trevor Conn for make-up/hair and styling, Elouise for all #abafazi’s amazing creations and Charmaine for all her off-camera assistance!

And thanks Trevor and Sue that we could use your beautiful venue! Cpirit Country Haven.

Yolanda & Graeme | Part One

I met Yolanda and Graeme on the day of their wedding. Things were running a little off schedule, and I never got to meet them before their big day.

The night before there was a big storm, but the following day the clouds opened up and shone brightly for their special day! Yolanda and Graeme here is Part One. Thank you for making it so easy to be fond of you guys. You have a beautiful way about you and I am sure you will be sunshine to everyone that shares in your life.

Meet Amé. The day we took the photographs she was just 7 days old. Such a sweet little thing. These small packages are truly a blessing!

Delna & Ben | Part Two

Hello again! So if you haven’t seen Part One of Delna & Ben’s wedding here is the link..

This is such a beautiful part of Mpumalanga, South Africa. The trees, and the scent of pine. The breeze and sound of wood and open space. And the African sun spilling it’s warm colours all around us. The atmosphere is relaxed and full of laughter. I just love photographing people in love and who better than two that have chosen today to promise and commit to love one another, through sunshine and rain.

I wish you two all the best in this journey!

So here is something fun we do at weddings, it’s called the Funbooth and boy did we have fun. Enjoy your photos you silly people!

Delna & Ben | Part One

When Delna approached me to ask me to photograph their wedding I was so excited! I met Delna about a year ago, and it has always been sweet spending time with her. She is light hearted and has an interesting sense of humour. And I am so glad that she found the love of her life right here in Lydenburg!

Florence Guest Farm is the newest wedding venue on the block. With it’s relaxed farm atmosphere and friendly staff and host it is a number one option for a lifetime celebration like Delna and Ben’s wedding.

I just have to add, the Boutonnière’s were made from re-using their wedding invitations. Just love that sort of creativity.

Delna and Ben enjoy Part One!
