smokin’

One from Stians‘ (aka “Vernon Koekemoer”..not the real one but they had Stian dressed up like him) bachelors. Coming to think of it…this might be a cool alternative to the usual “e-session”. Ask for it if you are interested (I don’t normally do it)

Stian and Karen at Summerplace

What an awesome wedding, totally better that I expected from my high school pal Stian :-) (you got yourself a real jewel buddy).

I had so much fun with the guys as they were getting ready, and got some really fun journalistic shots too. Stian was even man enough to clean up the whole mess just before leaving for the ceremony, all in the name of being a good husband (yes, let me hear it…“aaah, sweeet”)

The wedding itself was a gorgeously romantic affair, set in the afternoon with rain rushing in to seal the chapel doors just after she entered. I am so happy for them, it really was a stunning wedding. I am thrilled to have been invited.

N-joy the preview!

I thought this was a nice variable to the “groom shaving in the mirror” shot…plus I just wanted to get Stian back for leaving me stranded on the hill when we were supposed to bunk school one day (insert “evil laugh” audio clip here).

And of course, the cellphone paparazzi was there in full force. I always enjoy photographing these moments…it’s all part of the wedding day after all.
