Getha + Llewellyn’s Wedding: 12/18/2009 – After photographing Vasti and Pieter‘s wedding in Pretoria, South Africa last month, Nancy and I hoped on over to a plane to Cape Town. We we greeted with open arms and smiles from South Africa’s very best wedding photographer Christine Meintjes and her partner in crime/web guru Iaan van Niekerk.

It’s so amazing how one thing leads to another. Christine was so nice enough to let me second shoot not one, not two, but three weddings with her while I was in South Africa. Not only that, but she’s also the most giving photographer I’ve ever met, sharing her business and knowledge with me. Both her and Iaan were just SO awesome to hang out with. Also, special thanks to Christine’s colleagues Nastassja and Adri for picking us up at the airport. Nancy and I felt like we were meeting up with old friends the whole time we hung out with everyone.

For the first wedding, Christine, Iaan, and I headed out to the Western coast of South Africa, about a 2-hour drive from Stellenbosch/Cape Town area, called Jacobsbaai. There we had an unbelievable time photographing Getha and Llewellyn’s beach wedding. It was already amazing meeting Christine and Iaan for the very first time literally the morning of this wedding, but then meeting Getha and Llewellyn also for the first time at their wedding and being treated like a family and friend, it simply didn’t get any better!

The venue, details, and attires everyone wore were beautiful. But what I loved the most was how Getha and Llewellyn opened up their hearts to their small group of loved ones. It was the little things throughout the day that I enjoyed so much about their wedding. I can literally go on and on and on about G + L’s magical day. Not to mention it was so much fun working with Christine and Iaan, thanks guys for everything :). Please enjoy the silly video clips and photos for now!
