Nicola's Birthday | Camp's Bay

this was my last shoot of the year, and was at Camp's Bay beach, which happens to be one of my favourite places in Cape Town, as this is where Nick and I got married! 

It was Nicola's birthday and she had asked me whether I would be able to do a photo shoot with her and a few friends.  she had kept it a surprise for her friends and just told them to wear all white...which made for some beautiful beachy photos :)

this was such a fab shoot to end off the year with, and all the girls were so much fun and looked so stunning! :)  Thank you Nicola for letting me be a part of the day...and Happy Birthday! :)

Jonathan & Lindsey | Highlands Country House


I have really cherished being a part of friend’s weddings in the last few months and being able to capture their day for them.  This wedding was particularly special to me as it was for my good friend, Emily’s Mum - Lindsey and her fiancĂ© - Jonathan. 

Lindsey and Jonathan have one of the most romantic stories of how they reunited after being childhood friends!  They were born on the same day, at the same hospital and through this their mothers became friends.  Lindsey and Jonathan grew up together, but as time went on they lost contact with each other.

A year and a half ago Lindsey was visiting her mother in England and heard that Jonathan was also home in England at the same time, visiting his mother.  Through this they regained contact, met up and, consequently fell in love! :)

And on the 25th November 2011 they came before their family and friends and got married! :)

Me, being a hopeless romantic, absolutely love this story!    

The wedding was a small affair, with just close family and friends, which was beautiful, all held at the stunning Highlands Country House in Kenilworth.

Thank you Jonathan & Lindsey for letting me be a part of your perfect day – was such an honour!

Below is the necklace that Jonathan brought Lindsey for the day :)
These were Alice's shoes - who is Lindsey's daughter and was bridesmaid for the day - absolutely love this colour!
Lily  - who was flower girl - practising her walk down the aisle :)
Ryan, Emily's husband - sang a song during the ceremony
Managed to fit in a skype call during the reception from close friends in France
The festivity of the day completely took it out of Willow, Emily & Ryan's daughter :)
