We desperately tried to be back in evil Joburg before 08:30 on Sunday morning, but the Free State simply has a way of slowing you down to the point where time really doesn’t matter anymore. Now, once out of it’s grasp, a sense of longing has crept over me (once again) and I decided once for all that one day when I’m big I will go and stay in some small town in central SA. I got it mentally all figured out already…meetings with clients once a month at a coffee shop in Jozi somewhere, lots of couriers, Skype etc etc.
We were there on Saturday for Luzanne and Stephan’s wedding in a small town called Vrede (easy to miss). They are 100% Ben Viljoen type clients. Happy, warm, totally down to earth young people with the coolest parents ever.
They are the type of people where you could wish that they invite you to over to their place for the evening instead of booking you into a 5 star hotel (hypothetically that is…if something like that even existed in Vrede).
Always easy to shoot these weddings…
Just one pic for now as I feel this moment needs some space of it’s own. I just love the story and emotion here. Sure, Stephan is hardly in tears, it’s much more subtle than that. I sense a bit of doubt as to how to handle this big occasion, so real.
