Eloise and Hein are a couple truly in love with each other. They made being together seem all so easy where ever they are, whether in Johannesburg or in the bush, and I say that because they run a lodge in the Okovango Delta. Now the idea of running anything in the Okovango Delta sounds amazing, and conjures up images of wild long grass, open expanses of water and nothing but nature at peace. They took the trip from the Okovango Delta to Johannesburg just as winter had decided to show itself, and they took the winter’s chill in their stride no matter what the weather brought on, there were smiles all round and more than a tinge of nerves and excitement.
The First dance is really memorable for me, almost entirely because of the one silhouetted photo. It was not the easiest shot to get on camera and I was looking for the photo that would show just how Eloise and Hein felt at that moment. When I finally stopped and had a look, I knew this was one of my favorite photographs of the wedding day.
What I do enjoy the most about the above photo is how it really was not posed, how it came to be exactly I do not remember, but I remember yelling ‘stop!’ and then taking the photo. I love photographs that happen that way.
The shot I have above is such a nice and simple shot , and yet still conveys something special in its simplicity.
The photo session is always a great time, the bride and groom are in the moment where its all official but somehow it all need a little time to settle in, and it during this time I get to photograph the couple.
I must not a big thanks to my talented and always helpful second Jeanine van Aswegen who was there capturing those special moments along side me.
I liked the fountain as a spot for a quick set of photos the first time I walked past it. Here is the result of a quick few moments photographing the bridal couple through the fountain.
The slideshow is a really simple way to show the wedding day as the it unfolded through the camera.
Have a look and I hope you enjoy.
