A Carnival Kind of Love

Spring has just sprung and lockdown restrictions had eased enough for Llewellyn and Gareth to be able to spend their day with their closest loved ones and friends. Still chilly for Spring, it will be a wedding to remember. Beautiful, Romantic… socially distanced and wearing masks. Definitely something these two awesome lovebirds call tell their grandchildren about one day! A truly beautiful celebration that chapters fresh beginnings as South Africa awakens and emerges from Covid19.

Gareth for all his logical, calculating genius, is probably one of the most sweetly romantic grooms Ive had the pleasure to photograph. The way he adores his Llewellyn is something that will stay with me every 1st Of September as I remember their anniversary.

The gents were in great spirits. Looking extremely dapper, they posed for their shots like legends. Indeed the fun went even further bringing #Lockdown memes to life with the coffin march. A firm favourite of Gareths from our Lockdown period. Gareth was cool, calm and ready to marry the love of his life. No serious nerves from this cool cat.

Here are some more highlights from the Gents getting ready.

The ladies were in fine spirits when I arrived and everything was running beautifully on time.

Llewelleyn was the epitome of picture perfect blushing bride. Everything was so well organised and Llewellyn and her Bride Tribe were in fine regal spirits. Dressed up they looked absolutely stunning. Llewellyn’s Dad seeing her for the first time was really emotional and we almost, nearly, almost quite did need to have a retouch of make-up. Such a sincerely emotional moment of love and affection and such a blessing to capture.

The ceremony was wonderfully authentic and sincere and the love shown for these two sweet lovebirds were beautiful to witness. Sweeter still were the sneaky hand grasps and tickles they thought went unnoticed. And who will ever forget the masks!

After Family photos, the gorgeous cake was cute before we headed off for bridal party and couple photos. The Bridal Party put in a great effort to make some really original and all-time legendary cool pics - thanks guys! You rocked it! Do click on the images to make them larger!

But who could not look at these couple photos and not just go ‘aaaah!’. The sweet, tender love and they camera-shyness these two special people had, made these images all the more authentic, real and utterly romantic. Their sincerity of their love for each other is so beautifully evident. Im so grateful I got to capture these moments for Llewellyn and Gareth.

The Reception was the most unique and original idea Ive ever come across and it certainly ensured everyone had a complete blast! Kudos to this clever duo for being so creative. Fun, pretty and entertaining = magic! And magic it certainly was.
