We haven’t featured an album in a while, and I just wanted to show off a couple of pages from Angie and Brandon’s wedding at the Westcliff. Its super clean, quite graphic and features a lot of moments and expressions, not just a fashion shoot using the bride and groom as props. The cover was made from the pattern that they designed for their wedding stationary. Its a killer bee Westcliff Album that is classical, emotional and whimsical. I love it, and I think it fits two very hip parents who also happen to be killer graphic designers.

It started with Roger handing me an iced glass filled with a cloudy yellowish liquid. It was hot, I’d been walking up the one million stairs that connect the ballroom with room 433, I needed liquids. I took a huge gulp, and another, before somewhere in the back of my head the message slowly trickled, the drink had a serious amount of alcohol in it – somewhere north of rum.

Half an hour later, we were at the terrace, watching Roger and Greg get married in a traditional celtic ceremony. Rockstars? Yes. Loads of fun? Yep. People being themselves, ignoring V and I’s instructions, messing about, allowing us to capture the energy and adrenaline that only kicks that hard when you’ve just gotten married or someone has told you to jump out of the airplane? Check. Can’t wait for the couples session.

If Greg and Roger look familiar its because we did a lifestyle session with the Smythe family last year two years ago.

Last week Saturday V and I were in action at St Martins down in the south (hence last week’s trip to miniland) where Ruth’s dad is the principal. Amazing chapel with an incredible history, designed by H Baker & F Fleming, and built by unskilled labourers … well, you have to see it. It was quite a trip down memory lane being back in a high school, amazing how they still have the same feeling so many years later.

Ruth, David and their families were total rockstars. Thank you all for your generosity and warmth. As they say in the classics, it ain’t a party until the nuns start dancing.

I’m slowly getting better and getting my voice back, should be back to full email duty next week. BTW if you’re a fan of Chuck Palahniuk, I watched Choke the other day and its actually pretty good, not as great as Fight Club, but pretty good, especially if you happen to be very feverish (NSFW or home actually). Kind of like speed reading a year’s worth of YOU magazines in three hours.

If for some bizarre reason you’re following my camera collecting exploits – I have just bought my dream camera, expect to see me carrying it about on my next vacation.

Our first bride in black, our first couple from Singapore and a rocking wedding. Expect a whole bunch of images in the next day or so – I picked up a bit of a cold and I’m going to take a day or two to get over it. Just wanted to post this one that caught my eye while I was downloading the cards, because Ruth and David are in Cape Town on their honeymoon and I’m pretty sure they have an internet connection.
