Im getting so frigging clever

Hah - always wondered how to get labels from my blog, move around archived items - and eventually took the 5 minutes to actually read what is on offer on the layout page of my blogger page! So changed it around a bit - hope you likey.

Just an update - I am currently editing 6 weddings and I am working my little fingers numb to the bone. Tomorrow, will jump into the new year after my lovely and LONG holiday in Dubai with Shane, with my first wedding, which I am so looking forward to.

Here's to sitting in the office on a Friday afternoon, staring at the leaves blowing me to sleep.

Pieter & Yomandie: Continued

So.... I blogged in a hurry yesterday so I could show these two gorgeous individuals exactly how fab they looked on their wedding and in the process (which might just be a good thing) ALMOST had a panic attack when I realised my favourite shots, those very ones I drooled about and smirked about internally - I realised haven't seen these shots in a while? Doing five weddings in a row, and then immediately rushing off to Dubai for a holiday and taking all my weddings and editing with me was not such a clever idea after all :) - but I found my fave's ... and to me its like opening a layered present, these are some of my ultimate favourite shots of Pieter and Yomandie. Why? Because Pieter is not only a handsome devil, but he posses two very distinct attributes - one very cuddly soft and romantic one which wants to make you hug him all the time and then he has such an air of genuine leadership and strength of character - which made it very hard for me not to make him pose all the time like a Mills and Boon cover model (:). Yomandie... wow - I only met Pieter and Yomandie a day or two before their wedding but I understand why they are so in love and perfect for each other. Yomandie has such a calming nature, she's elegant and poised - I thought about it a long time, but I cannot describe her in any other way than a "lady". I can only add that she is in my eyes an exquisite lady. Such an old fashioned term :). The only... ONLY... time during the whole day I saw Yomandie stress was when she realised she was not going to keep her promise to Pieter not to be late, and with a Comedy of Errors which were so out of her hands... all good though, you guys - thanks so much for giving me the great opportunity to work with you on your special day. Talk soon.

Jaco & Natasha 6 December 2008

Tash & Jaco's wedding was held at the Sandpiper in Yzerfontein and the glorious venue was perfectly matched to this very laid back couple. Barefoot and looking like a princess Tash walked up the steps to find Jaco waiting on top - with all their guests standing on the little platform, forming a tunnel for Tash to walk through - necks craning to steal a glance at Tash and Jaco's first glance. The most beautiful beach setting for a wedding, for a beautiful and radiant couple - truly truly truly a match made in heaven.
