I have to share this story of synchronicity and how I came about photographing Louise and Clive’s wedding at Rickety Bridge in Franschhoek. My friend Sean Calitz photographer referred me to his close friend Louise who lives in Australia and was planning a wedding in South Africa. So Louise and Clive booked me for their big day. A little while later, while Louise was out and about in Sydney with her friend Alicia, Alicia said she new of a photographer (me!) in Cape Town . They were both then completely shocked that Louise had already booked me. It so happened, that last year when I was in Egypt on a girlie holiday, I met and became friends with Alicia (who lives in Australia)…and had no idea that Alicia and Louise were friends. Small world!
Ok, back to the wedding day….a beautiful sunny day, a small wedding party, a lovely intimate ceremony, and a fantastic wedding brunch under a marquee! The day couldn’t have been any better. What is great about Rickety Bridge when it comes to photo’s, is that even if the wedding takes place in the middle of the day with full sunlight, there are loads of areas in the shade for shooting in.
Louise and Clive – wow, it was so cool to meet you both and thanks for being so patient with me uploading my blog! See you in Australia next year (well that is the plan so far!)x
My FAVOURITE photograph has to be the black and white one of the dress and the light patterns on the floor. Ingenious Monica. There is a realness and gentleness to your work which leaves me amazed every time. Well done – i’m hooked on your blog!
