She stepped out of the car in the most beautiful hand-painted dress from Lunar. Her dad had the proudest tear in his eye as he walked her down the aisle to the strains of Elvis Costello's 'She' played on the accordion. He stood there waiting, and then as she appeared he smiled, BIG TIME :) Tears came to his eyes and he was overwhelmed...and then she stepped into his arms and they both beamed. Truly, I've never seen a happier bride, she giggle and smiled throughout their heartfelt ceremony :)
They stood together, arms wrapped around each other, her bare toes wiggling on the bricks whilst her gorgeous heels hid in the background. Their friends and family stood in a semi-circle as they exchanged rings...and then he kissed her, whilst everyone applauded :)
After this beautiful ceremony, there was the blissful simplicity of kuier-ing with friends and family, the most delicious Italian food, and a stunner of a Paarl evening. And their love for each other shone over the entire day.
Carien, you made the most beautiful and overwhelmingly happy bride, I smiled my way through the entire day! And Lefras, the way you love your wife is an example to men everywhere :) I pray for a lifetime of blessings on your marriage, and feel incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to capture your beautiful beautiful day. Thank you for choosing me!

*Carien & Lefras asked me to capture their day from a purely photojournalistic view, with only family photos posed, and it was wonderful capturing a day so filled with happiness, laughter and love!
A stunner of a day in Paarl, wow!

So awesome seeing previous clients - you may remember them from their Baby Bump Shoot earlier this year? Well, this is Nandi, how adorable is she!!
This is so Carien, I loved how she chose a dress that suited her so beautifully, and that she spent the day barefoot :)
