About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

Thaba Ya Batswana - Lauren & Wesley put together an incredible wedding, everything about the day oozed with character and style, with Wesley being a graphic designer and Lauren (...and let's not forget her mom!) being a stickler for perfection, the attention to small details was incredible. I could have just posted the pics of the details! 

 

Wesley even created a logo "wesleyloveslauren" that branded all the wedding stationary...it was clear that alot of thought and effort went into it all.  BTW...mom and Dad were instructed, by the couple, to wear latex gloves when handling the wedding stationary.

 

Arriving early I scouted the venue for various backdrops to use for the "creative portraits" and had a couple of options on my list.....and then my biggest fear as a wedding photographer....we ran out of "natural light". Thank goodness the venue had a couple of interesting nooks with some incredible lighting that we were able to use ...that and the amazing sunset have resulted in some great pics!

 

I really had a brilliant time, thanks Lauren and Wesley for having me document your special day. I hope that when you get back to the UK your images will reflect a bit the "African soil" where you exchanged your vows. My only regret? ....that I did not get to see Wesley perform live.....groupies and all! Enough babbling here are the highlights..... lauren-wes01.jpg lauren-wes02.jpg lauren-wes03.jpg lauren-wes04.jpg   lauren-wes05.jpg lauren-wes06.jpg lauren-wes07.jpg lauren-wes08.jpg lauren-wes09.jpg lauren-wes10.jpg  lauren-wes11.jpg lauren-wes12.jpg lauren-wes13.jpg lauren-wes14.jpg lauren-wes15.jpg  lauren-wes16.jpg lauren-wes17.jpg lauren-wes18.jpg lauren-wes19.jpg
