A year ago almost to the day, I photographed Kath and Shaun’s wedding at Kronenburg Estate. This year, Kath decided to surprise Shaun with a couple shoot for their 1 year anniversary – so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to: 1. photograph them again and 2. catch up and hang out with them.
We started off at Cape To Cuba restaurant in Kalk Bay, then walked through some colourful side streets. Kalk Bay is one of my favourite haunts in Cape Town – it has a quaint feel and is dotted with antique shops and knick knaks from the 60’s. It also has one of the best ice-cream shops – “The Ice Cafe” which has some of the most delicious and whackiest flavours. We headed to do some shots in the sand, stopped for fish and chips at the famous Kalky’s at the harbour….and then headed to shoot some more. During our last half hour of the shoot we were luring the seagulls closer and throwing left over chips for them (i wanted to get some movement shots in) when Shaun says “I hope a seagull doesn’t crap on my head”….and moments later, it did! We fell about the place laughing (except Shaun of course). He wasn’t convinced that would bring him good luck!
Kath is an aspiring photographer and what i’ve seen of her work already, is beautiful! So keep a look out in the future for Kathryn van Eck Photography – She is going to rock Cape Town!
