I have to be honest in that I was a bit reluctant to go photograph Amantha having her Mehndi done at Amazing Grace (Dipti Nathoo on 031-2090196) but when I saw how it was done I was honestly blown away. I left there feeling inspired and overwhelmed by such skill an artistry. The plan for the day was to do the photoshoot before the service as Amantha and Vickar did not want to be away from the guests between the service and reception. Unfortunately it did not work out that way and we ended up sneaking off for 5 minutes and using the gardens outside of the reception. Hindu services offer some opportunities to get some different and unique photographs and although the lighting was non existent I managed to capture the images that I had in mind. The reception venue at Collisheen was done out exquisitely and Di from The Wedding Company South Africa along with Amanda and her team did a fabulous job. I enjoyed the whole day as Vickar and Amantha were such a joy to be with and just let me do my own thing and capture the day as it happened. Thanks guys.
This is all done freehand with no pattern to copy from. Unbelievable.
Vickar was a bit nervous when he arrived so I thought it best to capture him unaware.
I love this pic as it was a game of "catch me if you can" and guess who one. The man with the Nikon haha.
Vickar greeting his guests and friends.
Amantha on her way to the service.
I always try and capture this as the fire is extremely important in the ceremony and provides for fascinating photographs.
Exchanging of the rings.
I love capturing these brief moments that happen during the service. They always happen you just have to be patient.
