December's been one big hectic whirlwind and I have to admit that I was wondering why I had agreed to go up to Joburg for a wedding with so much happening in Cape Town. A whole load of emails had been sent between Cape Town and Dubai, where Nicole and Guiseppe live... but I hadn't had the opportunity to meet these guys until about 30 minutes before the ceremony during a frenzy of last minute activity.

The internet is a phenomenal communication tool, but there is always an element of surprise when actually meeting someone who you can only associate with an email address. So I was blown away when it turned out that Nicole looked like this: 

Aside from being gorgeous, they were a dream couple to shoot, completely relaxed, fun and didn't bat an eyelid getting next to a rusty container or going traipsing through the bushveld. And...when I asked what they wanted, they replied : 'anything different' - a photographer's dream to hear those words!

What a stunning African/Italian evening - Thank you for flying me up for the ocassion! Here are just a few more:
