I only seem to do one or two traditional Hindu weddings a year, and 2013 brought me Shiv and Jay. Being my final wedding of the year, I was hoping I was going to be shooting for a wonderful couple at a stunning venue. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Shiv and Jay live in Cape Town, and are humble, young, fun and a ‘game for anything’ couple. Towards the end of the evening I had them standing in a flower pot on the other side of the balcony railing six stories up, overlooking the city of Durban. They didn’t even flinch when I told them my idea. Now that’s my kind of couple.
The wedding started the night before with Jay’s Mendhi at Shiv’s family home in Durban. They both got ready there the next morning too. We headed off to Coastlands on the Ridge and did a quick photo shoot before the ceremony, then another quick photo shoot at the end of the evening overlooking the lights of Durban.
The videographer for the day was Dave and Terence from Brand New Day Imaging. Congrats Shiv & Jay, hope you love your pictures as much as I loved taking them!
