It was my absolute pleasure and delight to be the official photographer for Sonja and Riaan at their wedding. From the moment Sonja and I met, I felt an instant connection with her and we chatted like we had known each other forever. I was very nervous, knowing that it would be my very first wedding photo shoot, but working with Sonja was so wonderful – Sonja exudes such peace and contentment. When I heard the wedding was a late morning beach wedding, it scared me a little. It is a known fact, that a wedding on the beach, this time of day (regarding lighting), is a challenge. It was a picture perfect day for the loving couple. Watching the day unfold was special, especially witnessing the strong family bond. Not only were Sonja and Riaan getting married, but they made the decision to have their little beauty, Janri christened. After the ceremony, the family and friends made their way to Noordhoek, where they gathered for the reception. The setting was homely, yet as we drove up the long driveway, I couldn’t help but feel we were part of a magical fairy tale. The princess had found her prince and a lovely enchanted garden with horses and chickens completed the picture. I want to wish Riaan and Sonja many blessings for their life together. Thank you once again for the amazing opportunity.
