Avinesh and Shereeze are a really fun couple who came down from Johannesburg to do their engagement shoot at the abandoned house next to Beach Bums, I was skeptical about shooting there since it doesn’t really hold any appeal to me or my style of photography. I like to put people in good light, get them to loosen up and capture their natural interaction with each other, so the location doesn’t really matter as long as the light is there and the couple are having fun. We decided to split the shoot in half, the first half was at sunrise in the good light on the beach, then when it started getting too bright we moved over to the house. I was expecting lots of swear words to be written on the walls inside there, which I’d have to photoshop out of the images, but I was pleasantly surprised to see some incredible graffiti art.
The wedding is going to be at Coastlands in Umhlanga which is going to be wonderful, looking forward to it!
