When compiling this album, I decided to add a few more than I usually do for engagement samples as I know both the bride-to-be and groom-to-be personally. I thus also know both sets of friends and have therefore uploaded many more family/friends shots than normal!
The engagement, bhiri and mhendi ceremony of Ziyaad & Farzana took place on the Wednesday before the big day. They then had their Nikkah at Masjidul Jummuah in Pelican Park, and the reception was held at Islamia College Hall in Landsdowne that evening. In the afternoon, we went to Cellars Hohenort Hotel in Constantia for the photoshoot
This is 1 blog post for all 3 days of events. The album has all the events in order starting with Engagement, then Bhiri and Mendi, and finally the Wedding. Individual albums can be found on our Facebook page.
This was the first of 2 engagements shot at the Khurshidul Hall in a space of about 3 weeks. The decor was co-ordinated by Dash Decor, in a lovely all white look. This was complemented by the white couch and white lanterns.
The fastest project that I ever completed. These photo's were edited and handed over to the client the next day! Now thats speedy service!
This couple were engaged just over a month ago. The engagement took place at Khurshidul Hall, in Cravenby Estate. The second time I was at that venue, within the space of a few weeks.
Rameez & Sabah both hail from the UK, and thus got married there, the weekend of the 1st April 2012. However, since Rameez paternal family are from Cape Town, they had a massive Walima Celebration, here in Cape Town, held at Nelson's Creek Wine Estate, in Paarl the following weekend. It was a miserable day, but we managed to get a few decent shots in, in-between all the rain. We were also lucky to have scheduled a pre-walima photoshoot, a few days prior to the actual walima, where we ventured out to 3 different locations and were able to capture a few stunning shots!
This couple were engaged in February, at the Western Province Cricket Club. The event was attended by friends and family, and an exhibition match between WP XI & Pakistan took place on the grounds shortly before the engagement.
The couple both currently reside in London, but came to Cape Town to tie the knot. Slavomira is from Slovakia, so the event was attended by about 30 of Mikail's closest friends & family. The reception and all the photo's were taken at the beautiful Groot Constantia Wine Estate.
Naeem & Anisha tied the knot in September. We went to 3 photo locations, Green Point Park, The Lighthouse in Sea Point and the hill just beyond Table Mountain! You will notice Lions Head appears in many of the pictures, and that is because both Naeem & Anisha are keen hikers and wanted to incorporate that memorable place in their wedding pictures!
