Nicole and Milton
I know, I know, I keep starting my blog posts with … the rain, but it is wedding season in Joburg, which happens to nicely coincide with the rainy season. By the time we arrived at Shepstone Gardens to set up and plan our shoot, the sky was already black and the rain had just started coming down. All of this despite the fact that the BBC site had predicted that it would only rain later that evening.
Nicole and Milton were calm as beans about the whole rain thing actually, I was a bit stressed (I had somehow managed to miss my extra large cappucino at the Wild Bean before I left home). It seemed like just minutes before the bedeken (the veiling of the bride in a Jewish wedding), the sun came out and one particularly picturesque shaft of light kept landing on Nicole’s veil as she circled Milton under the chuppah. Killer bee. I love the wedding season and its storm clouds, the moodier the better.
all the images were processed using our actions (which are free for download).
my fav image of the day, besides the look on Milton’s face … those hands holding up the chuppah make it for me
the shaft of light that crept over the roof and under the chuppah
this shaft of light was a rockstar. The text on the right is part of the chuppah translates as “and every bride”
I say no more about the shaft of light
Anyone want to loan me some money to buy the old Johannesburg Post Office? and if you’re not reading the Daily Maverick yet …
