A True love story - Angela & Tys's engagement shoot

4/18/2013

0 Comments

 
I met the lovely Angela and very dashing Tys at the Oakfield Farm Expo last year and was very excited when Angela contacted me and asked me to be their wedding photographer in August this year.  As Tys works in Iraq, and they live 3 months apart at a time, we organised their engagement shoot for March while Tys was here for Easter.  We chose the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens for the shoot as it is beautiful and fitted with everything they wanted.   Timing was really good as Monique (Make-up by Monique) did Angela's make-up trial the morning of the shoot.

Now their story is special, and you can see it the minute you spend time with them, so I asked Angela to share their story:
Finding my Boereseun:

Years ago when I was getting divorced, I confided in a friend – asking them what on earth I did wrong in my previous relationship choices – and he said “Angela – you should find yourself a boerseun – a boerseun will treat you right”.  Little did I know that 12 years later I would find myself a boerseun who honestly treats me like a princess!
How do you cope spending so much time apart?
With Tys and I living apart and only seeing each other every 3 months it is very hard, but I always say with our skyping and bbm’ing we probably talk far more than most married couples.  When we talk every night it is dedicated time together, which probably doesn’t happen with most relationships.  We make this difficult circumstance work.

How did he pop the question?
Tys popped the question in a little place overlooking Hartebeespoort Dam.  He had a bottle of our favourite wine, and put some music on (We both love music).  He seemed to be rather purposeful with his selection on his Ipod… and then it came to a song about a soldier going away and asking his love to marry him before he leaves (Tys was due to leave the next day, to go back to Iraq)…..  He went all quiet – and me – being a little slow at times…. I say “this is a lovely song…. Do you want to dance?”….. Typical Angela moment….. So Tys says “I am asking you to marry me and you ask me if I want to dance?”  Eish….. epic fail!  Haahaahaa!  Of course I said “yes, yes, yes!”

To Angela and Tys, its amazing working with you and to see such love between two people.  I am really priviledged to be your photographer on your Wedding Day!  I wish you loads of love and happiness!  May your love continue to grow!

A trip to Barcelona, Spain

4/16/2012

I love travelling, the best part is sharing the experience with the people I love!  The single best trip I had was with my wonderful boyfriend which was to Italy, however I have travelled quite a bit with former colleagues.  The latest trip was to the beautiful city of Barcelona in Spain.

We travelled to Barcelona in February this year, leaving South Africa's warm and sunny climate and arriving in the coldest period in Europe for the last 50 years!  Talk about a bit of a shock to our system!  It was worth it though, Barcelona is a vibrant and energetic city, and everywhere you look you see Gaudi's influence.  I can see why this city is an inspiration to many artists including Picasso.

Walking down Las Ramblas, you experience the vibes of Barcelona, with loads of little restaurants all serving Paella and the best Sangria you will ever have!    Although I only got to sightsee for 3 days, I have loads of photos and looking at them brings back the smells and vibes of this amazing city.  I am sharing a few of my favourite scenes with you below.   Hope you enjoy and perhaps put Barcelona on your "must see" list!

    Quirky and often described as rather eccentric, I am a lover of all things beautiful.  Capturing special moments and making my clients look and feel beautiful is what makes me happy!
