So, I haven't been doing Weddings for very long, as you can probably tell from my limited Wedding portfolio, but luckily for me I've been booked for a couple more Weddings this year and can't wait to get to building up my image collection quite soon. I have learned in the short space of time that there are people you should get to know at each Wedding as a Photographer! The other Vendors.....

Here is a short list of a few great Vendors I have met and am happy to share their details with you all, especially Brides who are still in the beginning stages of planning the most important day of their lives.

I will continue to add to the list as I meet more great people...

I'm based in Somerset West where there is a fabulous Wedding Dress Hiring company
THE WEDDING LOUNGE
They have beautiful Wedding Gowns to hire as well as all the accessories that you would need, including shoes, veils, tiara's etc. Nadine is wonderful and very helpful.

In the very same location is another Lady by the name of Caroline, she has an eveningwear hire company, supplying gorgeous evening dresses for Bridesmaids, Flower Girls or even just a night out.
EVENINGWEAR X-CHANGE DRESSHIRE

I also had the oportunity to meet Martin, who does lighting design for Weddings and other events, he creates a beautiful atmosphere for the Bride and Groom on there special day
SMDTECH

Then I am lucky to be friends with two very talented Make-up artists and Hair stylists.
LIANNE KAKEBEEKE
and
SARA CLACKETT

It rained and rained ........and rained! L'Ermitage Chateau in Franschhoek was the stunning location for Nicky & Gary's Wedding, beautiful surroundings and gorgeous decor, which was lucky for us as almost all the photographs had to be taken indoors. While the men toasted the Groom in the Bar the Girls' were busy bustling upstairs doing hair and make-up and helping a very nervous Bride get dressed. Everyone looked so beautiful in their lilac and white dresses with smiles all round.

The sun did manage to peek through the heavy clouds for a few minutes for us to grab a few couple photos outside, which made my day!

Congratulations to a great couple! I hope you enjoy the photographs to follow.
