Our Wedding day!!

Posted by lizellem

Johan & Lizelle’s Wedding: A Perfect day, which played out like a fairytale!!

On the 29th of May it was finally my turn to be captured on
the most beautiful day of my entire life…

I had numerous requests from my clients ( former brides) to place these memories on
my blog as they wanted to see how I look like on the other side of the lens…

I am also asked how I experienced our wedding day and I think that most married people
Will agree with me when I say “it was like being in a dream”!!
The emotions that one feel on your wedding day are intense feelings of Love, Happiness, Content, Gratitude & Peace.

Two moments (both beautifully captured) that will be imprinted in my memory for the rest of my life was when me and my dad approached he chapel and Rike, the musician was playing “the power of love” on her Sax. I remember seeing Andrea, my sister and little Cypriss walking down the ilse and all of a sudden the guests spotted me through the trees and started turning around. The wind blew my veil and I was hanging onto my dad’s arm when it suddenly hit me…”this was it, I was getting married!”

I then proceeded down the isle, winking at some of my dear friends and family and then I saw Johan…my heart skipped 10 beats and I realized that I love him with all of my heart and that “we are forever”.

Lots of priceless moments followed, like when I forced his wedding band into the wrong finger ( his right hand ring finger) refusing to listen to the first 3 whispers “wrong finger” and then as I realized I had made a mistake, I attempted to explain my mistake by saying ”It’s not my fault, he wears his watch on the wrong hand!!”…LAUGHTER!!

Lots of wonderful moments followed as our wedding day turned out to be just PERFECT but I won’t bore you with the detail, I’d rather share some of my favorite pics…. Taken by our photographer and dear friend, Sarel van Staden.

Our rings are VERY special to us and this special Bible verse is engraved inside of our rings. I designed Johan's ring and the black strip is a real Elephant hair!

A love story @ Oakfield Farm...

This time around Andrea and myself had the privilage to take the wedding journey with a very nice couple when we captured the engagement which was followed by an AMAZING wedding day...and WOW!!!this was indeed a Beautiful wedding which took us all on a time travel straight back to Victorian times!!

For me, the highlight of the whole wedding was when Willie met Michelle halfway down the isle because the moment was just tooooo big and the isle toooooo long for him to wait for his Stunningly beautiful bride...what a priceless moment!!!

Willie & Michelle we wish you all the best and hope that your marraige will be filled with more breathtaking moments than the ones we all experienced on your wedding day!!

A celebration of new life....

Celebrating Simonè’s existence…

Chantelle’s mother in law, Louisa, gave her this pregnancy shoot as a gift…to me this was more than just a gift, she gave her beautiful memories which will be treasured in years to come not only by them but by Simonè. Louisa put so much love and effort into to turning these memoire's into magic with her props, organza material, fresh flowers etc. and I realized that a mother’s love for her children and grandchildren has absolutely no limits.

Afterwards she send me this kind sms:

"Hello Lizelle. Wil maar net weereens dankie se vir die shoot. Dit was 'n voorreg om saam met jou te kon werk. Liefdetjies Louisa Lang :)"

Chantelle is a beautiful pregnant fairy and I am very excited to share some of this magic keepsakes with you…

The Cute-Factor: Little Miss Emma

Posted by lizellem | Comments (4) »

With the Mad, cold winter weather I have decided to share some heart warming photographs with everyone.

Andrea and I share a very special history with sweet little Emma as we have been photographing her from even before she was born...

We photographed Helga's Preggy belly...

null

Then on the 23rd of May we went back to meet Emma the cutest newborn Ever...

null

And now 6 months later we had loads of fun photographing Super-baby-Model Emma with a smile that can light up the whole of Jo'burg!!

If these photographs don't bring a smile to your face, I suggest you drink a hand full of "happy pills" - LOL!!!

Enjoy!

Lizelle
