So, when John (aka Zippy) and Dane got engaged, we quickly started working on a plan on getting me to South Africa to photograph their wedding in December, 2011. I was elated!! I’d be spending Christmas in the Summer, and shooting my first beach wedding. I got my ticket booked, the wedding was 10th of December, 2011 and I was due to fly into Pretoria, SA on the 6th, I’d have a day to recover, we’d drive down to Durban on the 8th and have a day to enjoy the beach, shoot the wedding the 10th and drive back to Pretoria on the 11th. TIGHT schedule. Well, as I boarded my flight, they had some “technical difficulties” with the plane and we waited to lift off for 6 hours at which time they booked us into a hotel for the night. Poor Dane’ was getting worried! Goodness, I was getting worried! After a 24 hour delay, I was grateful to get into South Africa on the 7th, not giving much time for getting over jet-lag, but who needs that if they have all the excitement/adrenaline over this wedding!! Everything about this wedding made me smile; the beach, the fishermen in the background, the bare feet, everything!

MAKE SURE you go all the way to the portraits because they are the BEST!

So, without further ado, I introduce to you Mr. & Mrs. Benn!
