I generally don’t post non-wedding related photo sessions, but I’ve decided to make an effort to post more of our other work on the blog 🙂 The Van Zanten’s family session really is the ideal start – this was such a happy photo session full of kisses and cute giggles! I met Taryn back in my marketing days – she was one of the nicest people I came across in those days and it was such a joy when she contacted me for a photo session with her awesome little family consisting of Kevin and Leigh.

Leigh is absolutely adorable and even though she was a bit camera-shy in the beginning she eased into the flow of the session pretty quickly. The session started with Leigh’s colourful balloons slipping out of her hands – it almost broke my heart when she lost her balloons BUT fortunately we had some lollipops to take her mind off it! 😉

The Vickeries approached us for a couple session in celebration of their third year wedding anniversary. We decided on Cullinan, a beautiful yet humble small town just outside of Pretoria. Samantha & Marsden wanted to tell the story of their marriage journey throughout the session. This included their struggle in starting a family and their hope for the future. It was a really personal, creative and fun session. We were spoilt with the most beautiful golden natural light and the session finished off with a gorgeous sunset.

Here’s a summary of their journey in Samantha’s words:

MR & MRS VERTUE |three rivers vereeniging vaal weddingJuly 2, 2013

posted in Real Weddings

Beverley & Kent said their vows on the 11th of May 2013, a rainy winter’s day, at Three Rivers – a lovely boutique hotel in the Vaal/Vereeniging area. Beverley was a bridesmaid at a previous wedding we covered and it was great seeing her as a bride. Both of them looked amazing – I just love her fitted gown & those vibrant blue bridesmaid dresses. A storm started brewing just before the couple’s photo session and we had a chance to play around with umbrellas and undercover areas for a change. Fortunately, Three Rivers Boutique Hotel had a wide variety of undercover options 😉

How did you meet/fall in love and how did the proposal happen?
Beverley: “We met in first year varsity at Wits. Kent was the quiet guy and I was the lost blonde girl. I asked him if he was in my physics class and we started chatting occasionally. Kent was so quiet that I actually thought he found me to be annoying, so when he asked me out (via SMS) I was rather stunned and confused. Kent proposed after eight years, in our home. He put the ring box in between a huge spread of sushi (my favourite food)… It was a random day in the week and so was very unexpected.”

Can you tell me about your inspiration – how did you do things differently?
