Gordons Bay: Winter Wonderland

The Parents-In-Law live out in Gordons Bay, and several weeks ago Mom-in-Law (Jenny) told me about an event they'd be holding - a Winter Wonderland with stalls, and gluhwein, eats and crafts. Catch was - she'd volunteered my services to photograph it! Panic set in...as I hadn't done any outdoor night photography, I was a tad nervous to say the least ;) BUT - in the end it was a really lovely event, the lights around GBay were gorgeous, and I'm fairly satisfied with how the photos came out :)

Hope you enjoy them too :) And look out for the event next year! 


Gordons Bay at sunset is breathtaking :)



Fun with polaroid effects.


We had drinks at the Gordon's Bay Yacht Club.

Lights in the milkwood trees.





Love this one.





There were crowds out to walk amongst the lights along the beach front.


Gorgeous guest house - Le Coco.


Love the perspective here :)


We ended the night off with dinner at the Yach Club where they had an awesome live band :)
