Kresha & Warren wanted an urban look & feel for their engagement photoshoot and Newtown was the perfect spot! I’ve always wanted to do an e-session in this part of Johannesburg and it was such an awesome experience. When we arrived at the spot for the shoot, it was occupied by construction vehicles, but this didn’t stop us from hunting down some other spots in this exciting part of town (and on that note, thank you to the shop owners at 44 Stanley in Auckland Park who allowed us to take some photographs there on such short notice)! Kresha & Warren are such a photogenic couple and I adore how naturally they posed for the camera.
I asked Kresha & Warren to write me a paragraph on how they met. I did not expect Warren to write a whole poem!
Here’s Warren’s adorable poem about their love story (and it’s a really cute story as well!):
“Once upon a time, in a land just down the road
There stood a little school, where the little kids would go
The teacher’s name was Kay, and she taught a little boy
She loved him very much for his presence brought her joy
Yet unbeknownst to most, she plotted secret plans
To hook up with his sexy dad: a single, hunky man!
She accessed all his details, his e-mail and his cell
She learned his ID number and his undie-size as well
He never had a freakin’ clue that he was so adored
Every time he fetched his kids he always seemed dead-bored
“Kids” is plural, did you say? Quite right: he had a girl
But Kay cared not, she’d have her shot, her heart was all-a-whirl
She skulked about in shorty-shorts and midriff-baring tops
Nothing seemed to catch his eyes, much less make them pop
Despairingly she “Facebooked” him (is that a proper word?)
And finally he caught the hint, her longing feelings heard
Waz (that was his name, you see) was thrilled but had some doubts
For she was hot and young and smart and sexy when she’d pout
And so began their happy tale: a lovely, lusty stew
A storied journey of a love that grew and grew and grew
Today they stand abreast, as one, about to start a life
As partners in a web of dreams: a husband, and a wife
They’re not sure where the roads will lead (and not sure if they care)
They’ll stretch their legs and join their hands and chase them everywhere”
Just a week after this e-session, Kresha & Warren said their “I do’s”. So keep an eye on the blog for the blogpost of their beautiful wedding day, but in the meantime here are some photographs from their e-session 🙂
