Fielies and Melissa are getting married in a month on their farm in Kaapmuiden, in the Lowveld. Can't wait to be part of their day.

It is amazing to be able to shoot at locations like these, (SA has them too...I just dont know about all of them...yet). I met Mario and Nataliya through Andreas Hauke. Mario & Nataliya are getting married in July this year and wanted to get some couple photos of themselves before the wedding. Nataliya works as a make-up artist in a theatre and Mario is a chef and part time DJ (see tomorrow's post for DJ pics), they live in the AWESOME Vienna, Austria. Nataliya organized the locations for us, first we went to a function hall in the city centre, then to a old school library for the second part and finally the park. If only I had these locations in my back yard...I envy people living in the city, the locations speak for themselves.

They met 8 years ago on a blind date...yeah, I thought that only happens in the movies. My blind dates normally turn out to be really weird guys with the strangest habbits ;) [note to self: give blind dates another go] Anywhoo, both of them hated the idea of going on this date and tried hard to get out of it, but , their mutual friend, friendly forced them to go on the blind date. Needless to say, at the end of their date Cupid used his magic and the two were in love, and its crystal clear that they still are.

Hendrik is one of my best friends for high school. He is getting married to Michelle, whom I only met the other day at the shoot, but heard a lot about, the day Hendrik met her, he phoned and told me he met the girl of his dreams...seriously! But they did not see each other for a year after they met. And then one day they ran into each other and the rest is history :) She is so beautiful from the inside and out, you know and Hendrik knows he's the luckiest man on earth. Why I'm friends vir Hendrik; when he phones you cannot answer without smiling because you know he's gonna give you a tappit surname/nickname, example; "hallo rensie van der merwe" or "hallo poepies" - I hope thats not my nickname! If you are drinking coke ---> he'll make you laugh so hard that it comes out of your nose :D He always cheers you up, no matter how bad you feel - you even feel good when coke comes out of your nose. He reminds me of Chandler from friends - yes he's very sarcastic and, he always keeps in touch with his friends!
