I met Laura several years ago when she was working for SA Wedding Venues and we’ve become friends and stayed in touch. When she asked me to photograph her and Pete’s wedding I was so chuffed! She is such a lovely person – always smiling and laughing. I started with some shots of her getting ready in Camps Bay and was greeted by a whole room of excited women – mostly Aussies! Laura is from Australia, and when i first walked into the room i did a double take -I’d forgotten that she has a twin sister, and they are identical!!! I’m not generalizing here, but Aussies are soooooo friendly and always up for a laugh!
Their ceremony took place on the lawn outside The Roundhouse with views of the 12 Apostles mountains, Clifton and Camps Bay. All couples are different when photographed – some are shy and reserved while others are crazy and up for anything. Laura and Pete are the kind of couple that are so connected and just so completely into each other, and just laughed the whole way through the shoot. This made the entire experience relaxed and loads of fun. The reception was held under a marquee attached to The Roundhouse, and was beautifully lit by fairy lights, candles and kerosene lamps. Awesome wedding and fantastic energy! Mix up Aussies and South African’s and you have one heck of a party! Thanks Laura and Pete for an incredible wedding and being just so wonderful. I am sad you are both moving back to Oz.xxx
