Teaser! Chris & Marike | Wedding | Moon & Sixpense

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Here’s a little sneak peak from Chris and Marike’s beautiful wedding this past weekend at the Moon & Sixpense Wedding Venue. We all had fright when the weather forecast was hail for the day, but they had only scattered showers during the day. I get excited when it rains because you can create super cool photos, but it rained during odd moments at the wedding: a little in the morning and then again during the ceremony, but when they were eating (like many would say…don’t interrupt a good meal). So for me to create a rain photo for the night-shot I asked two of the groomsmen to create rain for the photo…which was great fun and the photos looks surreal!

Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
