Webb Family

A couple of things I know about Sofia Webb... she has a stylish name that just goes with who she is, she inherited the most beautiful piercing blue eyes and angelina jolie pout from her mom and dad (lucky girl..) when she laughs its from the bottom of her stomach, she has a beautiful mom and a super cool & talented dad - and she is the centre of her mom and dad's world, which is obvious whenever she makes eye contact with them.  Andre and Shelley are very dear friends of mine, and little Sofia was an angel to play with (since shooting little ones is not what I term as "work")... Thanks for my beautiful new website Andre, love you guys x

Brendan & Sanri: Ntida & Lagoon Beach Hotel

Here is the story... Sanri and Brendon chose Cape Town and the stunningly beautiful Lagoon Beach Hotel for their perfect day and all was set to go according to Sanri's meticulously planned special day.. that is before Mother Nature decided to intervene.  But.. let me tell you my side of the story - I was thrilled that Brendon and Sanri decided to have their formal session before the ceremony long before we knew what the weather will do.  For various reasons, but it just proved once again what a relaxing and ultimately beautiful time it is for a couple.  Yes, its unconventional.. yes its going against the grain - but what is life without some unconventional ideas?  As it worked out.. I waited with the boys for Sanri to arrive and had the opportunity to get to know Brendon (who also forgot to pack in black socks... xx) - I had such a wonderful and relaxing time with you and your families.  I laughed, I drank, I sniffed with the toast to the Sanri (made by her brother in law who had the whole crowd first in stiches then in an emotional five minutes of heartful words), I had the time of my life getting to know you and your guests.  The weather?  What weather??.. this wedding rocked.













Sanri's beautiful sister was a star in the planning of the big day..















Caught out boys...






This was my view during the ceremony.. i had to shoot the weather, to remind myself of how lucky we were





Brendon & his cigar.. styling it all the way











A special mention to both sets of parents.. who never dance.. like in EVER - look at this!!!  You go guys.





And some more of my favourite shots of the day.. yes I realise I have a problem with the amount of shots I blog - but im sort of like.. live with it :)
