All the elements that make up a fabulous wedding were there on Friday.
A stunning bride, a handsome groom, good laughs, a picturesque venue, and beautiful details all tied into one!
Tracy and Florian just radiated happiness and are absolute naturals in front of the camera - no directing needed.
It was, quite simply, a relaxed celebration with very few of the traditional wedding rituals.
We did, however, have a couple of wardrobe laughs which I had to mention.
On the bridal-side, Tracey decided, before the wedding day, that the train of her dress was just "too much" - soooo not her ;-), so she decided to simply cut it off, as you do, much to the horror of the designer, I am sure!
On the groom-side, Florian had a major co-operation issues with his tie, getting the optimal length, (personally I think the tie was scared of heights), which meant there were about 20 attempts to get it "just right".
Ursula and I felt truly welcome, as if we were part of the family. We felt continually grateful to be there, to capture it all, as well being honoured to have such an important job.
Thank you both for your hospitality.
Enjoy Botswana - it's out of this world!




The sealing "I do" kiss looks so natural that it almost looks posed, don't you think?


The beauty of having two shooters is that you get two different perspectives on a moment, above right picture taken by Ursula (probably one of my favourites from the day) and below mine.

Loveliness! I really like that other chapel. Meanwhile, I wanted to see a shot of her hacked-off dress train! Haha.
(04.16.09 @ 01:53 PM)It was not "hacked" off there and then, it was done before, so I was not around to photograph the massacre, although I would have loved to photograph the dress designers face.
(04.16.09 @ 02:31 PM)Ah oops, I see you said before the wedding day...I was too much in glee at the thought of a bride sawing off her wedding dress in the bridal suite :-)
(04.16.09 @ 08:36 PM)I would have also like to have seen the SNIP! Love the pictures in the church!
