Michelle & Marcus {Couple shoot in Melville}

Marcus and Michelle's urban couple shoot in Melville is on my blog!

"In your light, I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art."  Rumi

I recently hosted a competition on Facebook for a #FREECoupleShoot, and Michelle Daniels was the winner. She is currently dating Marcus Ras, and I decided to take them to Melville, Johannesburg, because they wanted to do an Urban Shoot. Wow, they are an amazing couple, and boy oh boy...they are such a photogenic couple. They are such beautiful people and so much in love....the way Marcus looks at Michelle is just mesmerizing!  

Venue: Café De La Crème, Melville and surroundings

Enjoy the pictures and do not hesitate to leave a comment at the end!

Eddie & Terri's forest picnic e-session is on the blog!

"Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy.” Dwight L. Moody

These two, Eddie and Terri, are just fun people to be around! They were full of sports for their engagement shoot, and Eddie is the sweet romantic... they had a picnic basket with sushi, fruits, bubbly and white balloons! They look so happy together and just couldn't stop laughing during the shoot...just amazing!

Can't wait for the wedding in August in Sedgefield! Its going to be epic!

Stephen & Gena's urban e-session

Stepen & Gena's urban e-session in the inner city of Johannesburg!

Wow. This was a super fun shoot. We got to go to the inner city of Johannesburg to do an urban shoot, and Stephen & Gena just rocked! They looked absolutely exquisite, and I just love the way that they contrasted with the surroundings...amazing!

I had a bit of a laugh with Stephen because he was very stiff and on his nerves, and I had to train him in front of the camera. The greatest moment for me was when we were almost at the end of the shoot Gena said: "Wow, I have never seen Stephen smile this much". Thanks for the compliment.

I so wish I was going to take their wedding pictures, which I am not. They already have a photographer booked, but I can just imagine how wonderful their weddings pics are going to be!

We had an interesting moment though during the shoot. My camera was almost nabbed. There was a guy who came up to me and asked that I take a picture of him, but while his buddy was behind me looking for an opportunity to nab my camera (I didn't know this, Gena told me afterwards). Gena went into a praying frenzy and her faith got us out of that situation. The 2 guys left us but our nerves only really settled once we left the area after the shoot.

A big thank you to Fourways Flower Market at Pineslopes, JHB, for the bouquet of flowers!
