Greg and Marcia's Wedding - Winter Wonderland Part II

Greg and Marcia got married in the Chapel at Sacred Heart School. It was truly transformed into a fairytale Chapel by Guy and Anton of Wedding Emporium. Attention to detail is their forte and everything looked perfect from the flowers to the pulpit to the chandeliers. (and wait til you see the reception - A M A Z I N G!!!)

Marcia arrived in a white limo, and out stepped a ravishing bride with a fairytale dress! She looked amazing and Greg's jaw dropped when he saw his bride. A beautiful ceremony followed with family and friends all supporting and showing their love for the couple!

The reception decor will blow you away! Check out my next blog post - and you definitely have to see the pudding and sweets table! - *faint* - so gorgeous!!

Greg and Marcia - Winter Wonderland Part I

I was second shooting with Dori Moreno of Moreno Photography on Saturday. I went to shoot Greg and his groomsmen getting ready at his parents house.
One of the most fabulous things they had was a jukebox in the lounge which was playing music while they got ready and had a few whiskeys.
They're such a great bunch of guys and I think after I had photographed their Italian shave the previous day, we were like friends.

Greg looked really great in his cream suit and totally fitted in with their theme - Winter Wonderland.
I will be posting Part II of their spectacular wedding so check back soon! :)

The Italian Barber Shave

When I was asked to photograph Greg and his groomsmen having an Italian shave, I was super excited. Not only was I excited for his wedding the next day and to share the excitement they were feeling, but I also just love photographing in funky places - and Floyds is one funky Barber shop!
Totally awesome service, funky decor and rad people there.

I met the groomsmen as they all went into their seperate chairs to have their Italian shaves. It's definitely the closest shave a man can get and one should not annoy the Barber, as they hold an extremely sharp razor. :)

Thanks to Floyds for a fab job and allowing me to photograph while you worked and to Greg and the groomsmen, it was awesome photographing you! :)

Be sure to check out their amazing wedding in my next blogpost. :)

Sass Designs Photo Shoot

Watch out for an overload of hot women!

I had the priveledge of photographing these strong, fabulous and diverse women. Thanks to Jeanette Verster for inviting me along! Hannalee was there shooting as well as Juanita.
Not only did their hair and makeup look fab, but the dresses they were modelling were just gorgeous!! These dresses are designed by Sandi Schultz of Sass Designs. Its basically more than 10 dresses in one, and Sandi is just the pro at tying them perfectly! You've gotta check them out - accessorise them, tie them differently and you will totally pop at any social do and you won't ever be the same!

These women are social networking addicts, business owners, mums, designers, photographers and just totally fabulous!

The day started out with nervous giggles and a few not-so-sure-of-that-big-camera-in-my-face smiles, but 20 minutes in, I didn't even need to pose the ladies, they were working it! It's amazing when you look good, you feel good & confidence oozes...loved seeing it!
I had tons of fun capturing these women, so without further adieu, here they are in all their fabulosity.

Gina has a little new born baby - who would've known with that tiny body?!
Phillipa has got the most gorgeous hair and love love love her smile!!
Nadia is just such a natural in front of the camera, it's like she was born to do this!
