I’m not entirely sure where to start with Deena and Janine’s wedding. This was a wedding that not only brought together different cultures, but it brought together people from all over the world too. Janine is originally from Germany, but she’s been living in the UK for a number of years where she met Deena who is originally from South Africa. This was their second wedding, the other one happened recently in Germany. This wedding was actually comprised of two weddings because they had a Christian ceremony followed by a Hindu ceremony. One can imagine that I had my work cut out for me for the day. After two ceremonies in one afternoon there unfortunately wasn’t much time left for a creative shoot, but that didn’t stop us from stealing 10 minutes of photos as it was getting dark. Thank heavens for prime lenses.
During the week leading up to their wedding I picked up an injury, so I was hobbling around all day on a swollen foot, and to make matters even worse I was on some seriously potent painkillers and antibiotics which put me in a complete daze. I still somehow managed to pull it off and believe I got some great shots. It was a real privilege to be part of this multi cultural celebration, congratulations Deena & Janine!
