LindyAnn and John at Summerplace (the color edition)

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

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.

it’s not often that a shoe gets a starring role in one of my pics, but besides being a Manolo Blahnik, I quite liked them – who would have thought that I’d have an opinion about shoes? So not me.

no idea who made the cake, but it looked incredible – an eggshell blue with brown trim.

 

LindyAnn and John at Summerplace

Monday, September 21st, 2009

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.

we hardly ever post dance pics, but these just stood out for me

 

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