Phophi and Lusani's Engagement

Lusani and Phophi are a lovely couple whose engagement I documented on Sunday June 09 2013... I'm now looking forward to shoot their wedding in November.
I have maintained a good relationship with these guys that even went beyond client/photographer to brother/sister/brother and I must say honored to be part of their journey to their marriage. I love them to bits...

Freckles of the nameless egg (high key)
 
Saturday winey mood (Low key)

Getting closer to freedom - Unchain my heart

Getting closer to freedom - Rust of sorrow

Dawn of my sight - the hand

Dawn of my sight - the eyes

Mr. and Mrs. Ndadza


Saturday, 23 March 2013, Nandoni Laphani (Nandoni Dam), Limpopo.


After the pre-wedding shoot we had on the 23rd Feb 2013, i couldn't help but look forward to the big day of this handsome couple. And a month later the day finally the big day arrived and here's something that I got from there, not much but good enough to indulge in (I hope)... Cheers,! later guys.
