Many people choose to have their wedding in spring or early summer, which on the one hand means warm weather, but you also have the risk of downpours during the summer months. That being said, I am not sure why so few people choose marriage in winter? 

Yes, agreed, the days are somewhat cooler and the nights are often particularly chilly, so I suppose, on that basis alone, we're more inclined to hibernation than jollification.   However, winter is, as it happens, a beautiful time of the year in South Africa. There are rainless, clear blue skies with a wonderful soft iridescent light that sits lower on the horizon, casting those magical velvety silhouettes, and beautiful backlighting, nothing beats the lovely winter light.

Which now brings me onto my next post, which was a winter wedding - that of Angie's and Sergio's.

I knew, when I first met this couple at their engagement session, that their ceremony would be a special one.  This is quite simply because Angie and Sergio must be one of the sweetest individuals we have ever been fortunate enough to photograph.

This wedding was everything I expected it to be and represented everything that Angie and Sergio are: classy, elegant, fun, attractive and basically amazing in every way.

Your day was a slice of perfection. Thank you very much, Angie and Sergio.  Stella and I felt extremely lucky not only to witness it, but, to be a part of it, too.

Loved the wedding cake topper.

This flowegirl cake combo is becoming a small obsession of mine ;-)

That beautiful winter light...YUM
