Liesel and Darren

These guys went all out on the details. Liesel’s dress was made from her grandmother’s wedding dress, part family history, part couture, part childhood autobiography. The wedding cake was cut with a sword that Liesel’s parents used to cut their wedding cake. I loved all the little touches that made everything so personal, from growing their own wheatgrass and lillies to the personal messages on the placecards – mine read “Dror if you’re reading this you’re not taking killer bee images, go go go.”

To go a bit off topic, I was sitting at a wedding recently and someone turned to me and said, are you the guy with the killer bee catch phrase? I hadn’t realise I used killer bee so often that it has become a catch phrase, its actually a Kinkyism. If you get a chance to read any of his books, he is funny as beans and actually exists in real life, as do the Texas Jewboys.

Anyway, Liesel and Darren, definite rockstars, and yes the twirl during your entrance worked, and if you’re reading this in Zanzibar, you aren’t enjoying your honeymoon, go go go. I hope you’re having a killer bee one.

the moment every groom dreads, will it or won’t it fit. I love the look on Rev Chunky’s face

October is the rainy season in Johannesburg, big dark storm clouds that look like the alien spaceships in Independence Day

the sun tends to sink fast when there are big clouds, we were pushing daylight towards the end of the shoot

 

We’d been having a quite a few Uncle Bobs recently (guests with cameras who insist on posing the b&g, jump in front of us during the first kiss, ring exchange etc), so I was quite grateful when Rev. Chunky, noticing how many cameras were flashing during the bride’s entrance asked that only the official photographers photograph during the service.
