Jefferies Bay.. from sleepy lil surfing and fishing village to fast-expanding holiday destination.. Jbay - famous for it's surfing.. although not perfect without the winter swell.. Time to relax and do as little as possible.. except for the occassional walk on the beach.. Peaceful and tranquil St Francis Bay..
So here we go, I thought I'd start by sharing a few of my favourite images from my recent trip home to South Africa and neighbouring Zimbabwe. I'd hoped we'd find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow at Victoria Falls and we were so *close*! I saw the stariest skies ever when we were in the middle of the bush one evening after a game drive.. like diamonds on a midnight blue blanket.. I always love silhouettes, especially at sunset.. Waking up to the sounds of nature and elephants feeding in the bay next to where our houseboat had anchored the night was one of the reasons I can't wait to go back to Kariba again some time..
I'd always heard about how beautiful the sunsets at Kariba were and I wasn't disappointed! The most awesome sunset of 2006 had to be on old year's eve.. And beautiful, peaceful Mazvikadei.. I loved Zim for it's natural beauty - it's a country with so much to offer.. and having my own personal tourguide of course did help a little :-) but I also met so many lovely people who made my stay extra special. Thank you, thank you!
Welcome to my very first blog ever! I hope to keep you up to date with my photography adventures during the upcoming months, including my latest travel expeditions and share a little about the most recent weddings I've photographed - they're always filled with nervous excitement, special moments and of course lots of laughter, a couple of tears tears and bucket loads of happiness..
As an international wedding photographer based in London, I offer contemporary, reportage and informal wedding photography for weddings in London, and surrounding areas, including Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent. I'm available as a destination wedding photographer for weddings throughout the UK, Europe, Southern Africa, Indian Ocean Islands, the Carribean and Australasia. I'd also love to photograph Thrash The Dress Sessions or more tame but equally as fun post-wedding portraits.
I provide wedding photography at Civil Weddings, as well as Christian, Jewish and Asian wedding photography (including Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Buddist etc.) And I cover engagements, renewal of vows ceremonies, anniversaries and many others too.
