Part One:

Jacqui and Neil flew over from the UK to get married at the stunning Allee Bleue venue in Franschhoek.  The getting ready, the ceremony and the reception all took place here on the sunniest day among the gorgeous vineyards of Franschhoek.  (Several days prior to that we arranged to meet in St James and do an engagement shoot – if you missed that pop over to the 5th April 2011 entry on my blog.)  Jax and Neil have been two of the most easy-going couples I’ve photographed – they are so affectionate with each other they made photographing them an absolute pleasure.

This blog has taken a little while longer than planned to be published as i’ve had a ‘challenging’ (arrrghhhhhhh!!!!!)  time with the South African internet – but it seems to be all back on track now…so I present to you part one!  Keep a look-out for part two to follow tomorrow, where I’ll be uploading some photo’s from my first South African “Love Shack Photobooth”!

Part two of Jacqui and Neil’s gorgeous wedding.  I have to say Allee Bleue is a fabulous venue – the staff are brilliantly efficient, the chef incredible and the overall venue an absolute dream place for a wedding. While we headed off to do the couple shoot, my assistant Anel stayed behind and took some photo’s of the willing guests at our new Love Shack Photo Booth.  It was our first time doing the booth in South Africa and everyone had a good laugh.  We stopped at the old railway track in Franschhoek for some photo’s and then The Riverside Cafe very kindly let us use the area behind their restaurant which has part of the Berg River running through it.   Thanks for being so wonderful to photograph and for the most incredible wedding – a photographers dream: Manola Blahnik shoes….a gorgeous dress….beautiful details on the table…the perfect weather…funky gum boots…and a very happy and willing bride and groom up for anything! Jax and Neil – thank you!
