We are off to the coast for a long overdue family holiday. I will, for once, take a proper break and will refrain from answering emails or taking calls. (DH is smirking.....I have a habit of making these statements and then, just scanning emails to see if there is anything important, followed by, I am just going to respomd to this one, and this one, and this one.
So I am going to make a concerted effort to focus on the short people, chardonnay and beach!
If you send an email to prices@andreacarlylephotography.co.za you will receive an automated response with my packages within 24 hours.
Back on the 2nd March 2009.
I will not leave this post pictureless, so here you are a few more from Brenda and Joe, I believe a few loyal stalkers "wanted more". It seems like they also loved the vintage treatment so I played with it on these.
There were no requests for The Cradle "dramatic sky" backdrop and, in fact, the one lone request was that there be NO cheese (as in cheesy wedding photography).
So, no Gorgonzola, Stilton or Camembert - once again just as-it-happens moments.
The ceremony was one of the most relaxed affairs, where for me Suzie's youngest son just stole the limelight.
I could have seriously taken him home, not the missing pink midget that's needed in our house, but what a gorgeous little character.
I was assisting Dror on this one, and concede I'm a little late with this post, but, if you would like to see more of the wedding, then please click here
Oh, dear - I don't even know where to begin with this one.
I know it seems as though each time I post a wedding on my blog, I'm talking about how great the couple was, how wonderful the wedding was, etc.... but, Lance and Sarah are precisely one of those couples you just can't help but have a soft spot for.
Based in San Fransisco, they both work in advertising and just ooze style*.
Going by the ceremony speeches, I understand that Lance (and his partner) were the first South African's to win a Grand Prix award at the International Cannes Advertising Festival... *yep, that level of "stylish"!
The wedding was the perfect mix of upscale class and a relaxed schedule, with the only major listing on the agenda being to get married and take photos.
The location was perfect for the picnic wedding Sarah had planned, with lush lawns to lay down picnic blankets & baskets, play croquet, volleyball, mingle and just enjoy the day!
One small glitch though....the Highveld summer rains!
Sarah and Lance, however, were lucky enough to fit in the garden ceremony, as the showers held back for the "I do's" and then the skies opened up.
The timetable was then rearranged and unfortunately the creative portraits (pictures of the couple) were unwillingly sacrificed.
We did, on the other hand, have a back-up plan to complete these, but, both Lance and Sarah decided they would prefer an in-the-moment images of the day, as events actually happened.
So here you are - simple moments captured, as they transpired...
What special photos!! Even though the rain did put a dampener on it, what you captured is incredible. Love the one of them all laughing!

Jake has a very cute habit, at the moment, which tends to bring on a wide smile.
When ever he is given a treat, like a sweet, he shreaks in the most over-exaggerated and over-enthusiastic voice.... "WOW WEE!" (insert huge excited eyes) that it makes my heart have hysterics.
While editing Trevor and Vivien's wedding, recently, I came across this one and just thought of Jake screeching "WOW WEE!".
I am not sure how I previously overlooked it for the blog selection, although, it was kept aside in a to-post folder, a little late, but, here it is. . .
WOW WEEEE - what a lucky guy!!! :-)
