CARLA & WENDELL -- WINCHESTER MANSIONS, Sea Point, Cape Town

What I loved about shooting this wedding is that it epitomized the 'Rainbow Nation' in more ways than one. Starting with the wedding ceremony at Winchester Mansions www.winchester.co.za to the photoshoots along Sea Points shoreline, to their 'Urban Energy' shoot in Cape Town, to the Radisson Blu's www.radissonblu.com/hotel-capetown panaromic views for the cocktail party, all the way back to their colonial courtyard at the Winchester Mansion for the evening reception. This wedding was an endless feast of smiles, the festive power of surprises by Denzil Washington look-a-like husband Wendell, to an endless supply of colours on offer in our city--from perfect pinks, purples, blues and African earthy hues--this wedding captured it all. Love, romance, vibrant chemistry, beauty and a endless supply happiness and love. Thanks to both Carla and Wendell for all the good vibes during the shoot--you two are magic!

Carla's 'Maggie and Sottero's' wedding gown can be found at Eva's Brida'wear (http://www.evesbridalwear.co.za/ContactUs.aspx) while the boys stunning attire can be found at (http://www.brideandco.co.za/





The interactive beauty of city shoots--we ask a local street sax player to loan his sax so that hubbie could 'strut his stuff'



SURPRISE darling--Wendell sneakingly pulls out his microphone from pocket to sing to his new bride.
World Class views from the Radisson Blu with both Table Mountain and the world cup stadium looming large in the backround



The courtyard is set in the style of an Italian Piazza with its fountain as the centre piece.
