Collisheen Wedding : Kuveshan & Vishakti
It was probably one of the windiest days that I have ever experienced in all my time in KZN, particularly within the usually comfy climes of the North Coast.
It was probably one of the windiest days that I have ever experienced in all my time in KZN, particularly within the usually comfy climes of the North Coast. It was blowing a serious gale, and we found it really difficult to hold onto gear, never-mind keeping the intricate Hindi bridal apparel together! Nevertheless, Kuveshan and Vishakti hosted a wonderfully colourful and vibrant wedding that was full of emotion and laughter. It was held at the well appointed Collisheen estate just outside Ballito. I loved the incredible smells of Indian cooking that literally presided over everything on the wedding day. Especially when you know that youre going to be sampling the good stuff later on! Aside from the wind, the light remained beautiful, and we managed to squeeze off a few magical shots before dinner. Happy times!
Durban Wedding: Dee & Malini - Part 1
When I first got the call from Dee & Malini, I was pretty sure that they would NOT book me. Why you ask? Well, I had never shot a traditional Indian wedding before. I had heard that they were insanely colourful & extremely busy (which I can handle), but in my mind it was reserved for the traditional wedding specialists.

I had heard that they were insanely colourful & extremely busy (which I can handle), but in my mind it was reserved for the traditional wedding specialists. In saying that, I was totally blown away after our meeting. Both Dee & Malini loved my work, & were specifically looking at adding a different dimension to their Durban wedding - which they felt I could bring to the table. Of course, I was immediately up for it, & so we began planning their couple session & the trip to Durban for their traditional ceremony. Even though it was long day of shooting between their respective homes & the community hall, we were treated like family. And what I discovered is that family are served amazing food & beverages all day & all night! When we finally said our goodbyes at 01h30, which is seriously late for any wedding I've ever done, I felt just great. I would do it all over again. Hopefully the results speak for themselves.
