Wedding Bells

To promise for eternity that you will love one other person for as long as you exist infront of a crowd of people if probably the most rewarding thing to witness and the most humbling occasion to photograph.

Here are few shots fro a few wedding I was privileged to attend. Most out in the open, amongst dense vegetation and under awesome african skies.

All with thier own unique personalities, brides choose the most personal finishing to show who they are and to paint the setting of their dream life with their husbands.

To highlight the element least given light would be how wonderful it is to see the young and old next to each other, one generation paying respect and sharing their love over its younger generation. Taking their right and moving into the next phase of adulthood.

Thanks to all the families represented here and to the my assistance and collegues, but mostly thank you to the the brides and grooms for allowing me to  experience and share their sacred day together.
