Louise and I had the privilege to photograph Shaun and Carey-Ann’s wedding on Saturday at Sha-Mani country lodge and SPA.  CA is Louise’s cousin which just made this wedding so special to photograph.

 CA, Stacey & Mary was late coming from the make-up and hairdresser (but it’s no secret that hairdressers take a while to make your hair look magnificent) but I couldn’t believe how beautifully done her hair and make-up was.  The world is such a small place, Janine the make-up artist was asking CA who is doing her wedding photos and Janine remembered me as we have actually worked together on a afew weddings. 

 Ca and I play soccer together at the Alberton Football club and you don’t dress up for soccer so it was quite different seeing her looking so stunning!! 

Being typical photographers and worried about where we could get the best light for our photos we asked (ok, ok more like insisted) that CA got dresses in her mom’s room which has a big window.  (Window light makes your photos just so natural looking and enhances the bride’s natural glow.

On our way to the venue the flowergirl, little Maddison’s (cousin) nose started bleeding again as she comes from Ireland and it’s much too warm for them here.  But we handled this mini crisis and off we went

It was such a beautiful ceremony with Louise reading a scripture from the Bible and them promising to love each other forever…  (Just the thought makes me go all mushy :-)   )

Their wedding was really unique, almost everyone is really serious about some football team or another  (fittingly Shaun and CA play fooball at the same club), so we took a few photos with them together with their golf clubs and soccer boots   They even walked into the reception with man united outfits! As I know some of the family members visit our site regularly  I thought I’d give you a sneak preview of their photos and share it with everyone.  Carey-Ann you looked absolutely gorgeous in your stunning wedding dress!  Shaun you looked dashing in your suit (you clean up pretty good)  

Shaun and CA, I wish you all the best in your life together and I know you’ll be very happy in years to come!!
