Johan & Anel – April 2008

Johan and Anel got married at a bush camp near Mokopane (Potgietersrus).  We did a shoot of them and their entourage before the ceremony on the Moorddrift Dairy farm’s premises.

It really makes a wedding photographer’s job very easy when you have beautiful subject to work with ;-)

The farm offered great grass fields and wide open vistas.  South Africa is such a beautiful country with loads and loads of gorgeous places to have weddings!

Anel gave me lots of lovely poignant poses, whilst Johan was working his magic…

The ceremony was held at a private bush camp right on the banks of the Nyl river in the open air.  It was the perfect time of day with the dimming sunlight providing soft natural lighting.

The reception was held in a marquis tent on the premises.  It was beautifully decorated and the catering was superb.  The white canvas of the tent helped a lot with the lighting of the interior with our multiple flash units.

Although it was a bit cramped in the tent, it provided a warm and cosy atmosphere and resulted in a great party with lots of laughter and dancing.
