Vanessa and Gavin’s wedding was held at the Cradle. Wide open spaces, rolling fields, wildlife, and a fantastic view of Joburg one side and hills on the other.
Black clouds loomed over Joburg and we all prayed the rain would stay at bay as the wedding was outdoors underneath some beautiful trees. It got darker and darker, and it got cooler and breezier (which was rather welcoming), but the rain stayed away until the ceremony finished. Something awesome happened during the ceremony though!! As the couple had their first kiss, there was a crack of thunder! God was just showing his approval. :)
The day was so lovely and the couple so sweet and full of bubbly energy, and once the rain stopped, the most beautiful light opened up as the clouds cleared and the sun sparkled through letting us take gorgeous photos. :)
Thank you to my second shooter, Gena D, who was just fabulous! I was also lucky enough to have an assistant who helped me with reflector work and holding bags, umbrellas and lots of other stuff, Kelly Jury.

Thank you!
Fantastic photos!!!!! You captured the wedding, guests and bridal couple so well! You photographed pure magic.
What a wonderful display of photos – so good to be able to view them from the UK and feel the atmosphere. Vanessa’s dress was beautiful, and the bridesmaids’ dresses were an unusual colour – very nice. Enjoyed seeing Les’s dress, Pip splitting his sides with laughter and Auntie Audrey H truly enjoying the moment. And so much more. Thank you so much. Sally (UK)
