Lauren contacted me at the beginning of this year having just got engaged asking if we could shoot their wedding in May. Now four months is not long to plan a wedding, but by looking at their wedding, Lauren’s vision and the magnificent attention to detail you would never say this all came together in such a short time! We were lucky enough to spend the weekend with them in Kokstad at Stoneybrook Farm with their amazing friends and family.

My Roller Derby team had quite an important practice a couple of weeks back, we had a guest coach Gutterfly all the way from the UK to train us! Not only that, but the SABC 2 kids show Hectic Nine-9 decided they wanted to film our practice for one of their episodes. These are the background pics from that night.

Chad’s sister Bianca contacted us after attending a friend’s wedding we had shot. She liked our vibe and finished product and asked us if we would be keen to shoot her little brother’s birthday. We dont really shoot other functions, but needless to say, we jumped at the chance to share the Olympic gold medalist’s special day. Chad is one of the sweetest and most humble guys we have ever met. It was an honour to be a part of this celebration with him and his awesome family!

We have been chatting to Joanne and Simon who live in the UK for a good year now about their wedding. We fell in love with the sound of it from day one and we were not disappointed! The planets aligned to give them perfectly warm and dry weather on what had been the rainiest week in ages which was perfect as their reception was an outdoor one. These guys are definitely by far the most chilled couple we have ever shot, letting their wedding unfold at a natural pace was a dream for us! Despite the fact that both Andy and I somehow managed to get tick-bite fever while shooting their couple pics, it was so worth it to share the day with this awesome twosome, their bridal party and family!

Roller Derby (think the movie Whip-It) has finally landed on Durban’s shores and I am lucky enough to be part of this kick-ass movement. Roller derby is an empowering and unifying force amongst women and that is something we really tried to get across in our photos. Here are a couple of pics from where the team stood six months ago (I am slack with my personal posts) but watch out Durban Derby is continually growing and gradually taking over the world so keep an eye out for more pics in the next couple of months. We are always looking for new girls to come give it a bash so if you’re keen come on down, we dont bite

Aileen and Graeme got married at the gorgeous Midlands venue Netherwood. In true Midlands style, the weather changed from 30+ degrees to less than 15 degrees during the ceremony. Despite the crazy weather going on around them, these two were totally chilled! Their decor was elegant and beautiful and their reception was perhaps one of the most crazy we have seen since our own wedding! Thanks guys for picking us! We had so much fun on your big day!

Caryn and Dustin’s big day was full of red, blue, black and polka dots! Caryn had created some of the most innovative centre pieces we have ever seen. Sticking to a Rockabilly style theme, there were old records, massive jars of sweets everywhere which put any sweet table we have seen to shame! If rain is a blessing on your wedding day then these two sure had one of the most blessed days we have EVER experienced! Despite the driving rain these two had such incredible spirit and were up for all our crazy ideas for their couple pics. Thanks for being so open to our craziness guys! You really did rock xx

After hours of driving on the main tar road from Mekele we stopped at an intersection swarming with people, donkeys, goats and taxis. We said goodbye to our guides and climbed in a minibus and turned onto an unassuming dirt road. The road to Lalibela…

Part 3 follows our adventure through the ancient and mysterious town of Axum which claims to be the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant and follows further north to the burial place of the wife of the Prophet Mohammed, to Mekele, one of the towns closest to the Eritrean border where up until recently planes have periodically dropped bombs on the inhabitants. We also get our first taste of a rock-hewn church, Wukro Chirkos.
