Zamani & Zimasa – Collisheen Orchid House

When Zimasa first got in contact with me she said the wedding was going to be in April, but I wasn’t available. Then one day she emailed again and said it was going to be in October instead, this time I was available for their date. Her and Zamani came down from Johannesburg to get married at the lovely Orchid House at Collisheen Estate where I spend a lot of Saturdays shooting weddings. The venue is really well run, with everything being planned out to perfection by the efficient staff. Zimasa got ready in the bridal suite, with it’s lovely light that comes streaming through the large windows. The ceremony was full of singing and dancing. We had about 15 minutes of daylight to do the photo shoot, then when it got too dark I had to bring out the flashes and get creative. A memorable moment was during the throwing of the bouquet and garter, I’ve never seen someone so happy to catch a garter before in my life, he was so overcome with sheer joy that he fell to the ground with his hands and feet in the air!

Jonathan from Videoccasions was capturing the video who is always a pleasure to work with. Congratulations Zamani & Zimasa, thanks for choosing me to be your photographer. Hope you like the pics!
