On the morning of Su-Mare's and Gerlouw's engagement shoot, I was really feeling sorry for myself (insert slushy violin music).

A stomach bug was doing the rounds and, on that particular Saturday, I had been mercilessly tagged. On top of catching this thoroughly miserable lurgy, the mercury levels were at freezing, so it was the type of day that you were almost entitled to be sick in bed.

 
I knew, though, that this engagement session took some planning and that they would be driving up from Bloemfontein for the occasion, so there was no way at all that I could re-schedule the event.

As a result, I pulled it all together, met a very cheerful and energetic Su-Mare and Gerlouw and we managed to get some crackers out of their session.

 They will be getting married in March next year, on a farm in Kroonstad.   Sigh...did I mention how I love farm weddings?
