the picture of happiness

January 7, 2011


 
This past Sunday January 2nd 2011, my family and I celebrated the marriage of my sweet sister Michelle to her other half Clint. Although my greatest strength doesn't lie in wedding photography, I was nonetheless asked to take some photos of the ceremony and the couple on their wedding day. I'm glad I did. It was simply magic...





Held at Peer's Hill (as part of Table Mountain National Park), my sister was escorted arm-in-arm by her two sons to the ceremony on top of the sand dune. Thankfully the weather was perfect for it - not too hot, with signs of a forgiving breeze.





Bathed in warm afternoon light, and looking ever SO beautiful together, the couple shared their vows and sealed it with a kiss before their loved ones, including their pooch Taz! There were lots of tears, hoots, yelps and laughter... still it was a moment we shall always remember.







After the wedding party moved on to the reception, I made haste of the fading light to capture these fun photos of the couple. One thing's for sure, and I think this series speaks for itself, Michelle and Clint have plenty of HEART 'N SOUL! I'm so pleased for them both, and hope that their lives together is the picture of happiness they shared on their magical wedding day!
