Out and about in London

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

London holds a special place in my heart.  Now that I no longer live there, I love going over in the summer to catch up with friends, and do a bit of shooting (and shopping!).  I love the energy of the city, the melting pot of nationalities, and never running out of things to see and do.  I feel like a kid in a candy store!  I had just been to see the Rankin exhibition on Brick Lane with a few photographers, and we decided to end it off with a drink at a little cafe.  I spotted a young woman with red lips and red hair, sitting on a red leather chair, with an interesting mural on the wall behind her.  I asked her if she would mind if I took a few photo’s of her, as she looked like she fitted into the scenery so well.  We got chatting and she said she’s from JHB, and is now living in London, and that she always sits in the same red chair and reads a bit there everyday before heading off to work.  Thanks Jessica – you look like a porcelain doll sitting in that chair!

Karen & Rudi at Oakfield Farm, Johannesburg

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I met Karen last year May in the UK when I was over there shooting weddings for the London summer.  She’d been onto my website, then dropped me an email.   I said I was in London and could meet to chat about her Jo’burg wedding.  We met in Putney at a little coffee shop and talked for ages about her wedding.  When I saw Karen again a year later at Oakfield Farm, it was like I’d seen her recently, and the time had just flown by.   The weather was incredible, the ceremony beautiful and Karen and Rudi just laughed their way through the day.

Wim & Jean at ‘Die Strandloper’, Langebaan

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Shooting at “Die Strandloper” in Langebaan, on South Africa’s rugged West Coast,  reminded me just how stunning South Africa really is.  ‘Die Strandloper’ is such a gem of a place – charming and rustic and nestled away on the beach, with the most incredible seafood.  Wim and Jean had an intimate, barefoot wedding on the sand, under the most dramatic sky – it was the perfect day!  Leipzig Floral Design arranged the beautiful flowers and table settings  – splashes of pink, orange and yellow, set on tables in the sand.
