Jim and Claire Golden Wedding Anniversary Photoshoot


Jim and Claire celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary on the 23rd of January 2010. As there were no professional photographers that weren't 7 months pregnant and grumpy at their celebrations they patiently waited until I popped and we did the shoot at their home and in their garden.























They soon discovered that all the poses were "blooming hard work" - as bum cheeks cramped as Jim (aka Lord Jim) and Claire "Spagetti" Fitz twisted themselves into pretzels. "Pilates on steroids..."

Shew it was quite hard work for the photgrapher to get Lord Jim to look "chilled". Eventually I found the trick tell him to snuggle up to his honey and talk Mooimeisiesfontein war stories!

Kayleigh's Wedding Make-up


During July I did the make up for the most gorgeous bride, Kayleigh who was kind enough to let me do a blog post on her "before and after". Both her and her mother, Dianne were easily two of the most relaxed bride and mother of the bride I have ever had to work with - what a pleasure and they were both loads of fun. She also kindly let me take a few shots of her while her professional photographer took shots before the wedding in the honeymoon suite. She looked spectacular and I have seen a few of the real wedding pics in which she looked amazing. But here are a few of mine for you to see her transformation.
