I always love shooting at Bellwood Cottages in Nottingham Road, it’s definitely one of the more scenic venues in the Midlands with it’s long line of trees along the roads, stables and old barn chapel. Thabani first got in contact with me during the week of Adriaan and Heather‘s wedding which by amazing coincidence was at Bellwood too. This time I saw a very different side to the venue because the day started being sunny and warm, and slowly turned into rain and very thick mist just in time for the creative photo shoot. So what did we do? We used umbrellas and shot anyway, towards the end of the shoot it was starting to clear up so I took Thabani and Judith to the little jetty on the dam.
This was a very festive wedding, with a lot of singing, dancing and laughing, which is exactly what weddings should be. They’re a celebration, and my job is to capture the essence of that celebration in a unique and creative way. Congratulations Thabani & Judith, it was a pleasure shooting for you!
