From the moment we met I secretly hoped that I would be their wedding photographer. Even though at the consultation I just met Dani and her mum, I knew that I wanted to be a part of this beautiful celebration she was putting together.

The first time I saw  Joe and Dani together was at their Engagement session, and right away I saw it. I saw them together. I feel blessed to be able witness up close what people share.

Middleton Lodge

Joe and Dani held their Wedding Day at Middleton Lodge. I love this venue. Apart from being gorgeous from the outside, its great inside too and the staff are fabulous.

Timeless.Joe-and-Danielle-Wedding-Blog-13 Joe-and-Danielle-Wedding-Blog-7Make- up and hair was done by Thembi Mkandla.  A superstar.

Love.Joe-and-Danielle-Wedding-Blog-49Little Lauren was so excited about the wedding day. But somewhere between prep and the ceremony,  dream land was calling her and she fell asleep. Like fast asleep. Snoring through the ceremony asleep.
