Very very very relaxed, yeah, I think that would just about cover Saturday with Claudio and Ivana. You know those weddings you attend where no one stressed about things, everyone is having a good time, just enjoying getting married to each other. Its a rare kind of wedding, its also my favorite kind of wedding, and we tend to get killer bee images. So yeah, it looked like it was about to start raining as the outdoor wedding ceremony started, if you’re a photographer that just means beautiful soft light and skies that don’t blow out. No-one stressed, the rain started coming down five minutes after the guests had gone inside for cocktails. Then of course there’s the family photos which we did in the rain, under a balcony, beautiful light, framed in a doorway. Damn that was some beautiful light.

Lets see, some of the suppliers:
DJ: The man, the myth, the legend, DJ Louis Almeida
Video: Anthony Friedman productions.
Dress: Somewhere in Spain where they obviously make killer bee dresses.
Catering: Taste Explosion
Venue: Summerplace

… see I remembered to ask.

Now for some pics.

Eagle eyed readers of the blog may spot how late I am with this one. This month’s theme seems to be a sorry-we’re-behind, I did post an entry of their day after shoot earlier in the month.

Just wrapping up this one, from the James Bond event at Summerplace.

We’re still getting people just taking photos from the blog and using them without permission, especially venues, please note our copyright license on the right. Its also just polite to ask.

Friday night we’re at Summerplace for a 007 themed event. Bond girls, fireworks, a blackjack and a roulette table, martinis and an Aston Martin. I don’t have model releases for the evening so I can’t post pics, but I’m pretty sure I can post some images of the cool decor.

Venue: Summerplace
DJ: The mighty mighty DJ Ricky H
Event Management: Otto De Jager Events
Cake: Sugar n Ice
Catering: Taste Explosion

Ok, a couple of color images for you from LindyAnn and John’s wedding at Summerplace. I was very tempted to give them a recoloured look, like those Elizabeth Taylor movies that they recoloured, but they looked really good very natural – the light was just perfect on the day.

If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I don’t sleep a lot and I tend to watch a lot of late night movies … black and white stuff from Hollywood’s golden age when the whites were more of an ivory and the blacks had a tinge of blue in them. LindyAnn and John remind me a lot of those movies, don’t you think LindyAnn looks like a young Elizabeth Taylor? Summerplace with its timeless elegance was a perfect spot for this classical couple and Otto De Jager Events took care of the decor and event management.

Anyway, a quick sneak peek, and since I’ve always wanted to do a completely black and white album and never have, I’m going to settle for a completely black and white blog post. Tomorrow I’ll post some color images for the traditionalists.

My favourite moment of the day was when LindyAnn turned to John and said, “you’re cute when you’re married.”
