I am still pinching myself over this wedding. Wow, a lot of emotions, and man oh man…these 2 are GORGEOUS! Nastasja says she has no modelling experience, and I remember her bridesmaids were like mobile fashionistas helping her with how to pose and to look oh-so-wonderful…and it worked! I am considering hiring them for my future shoots…hahaha.

Covid is real and in your face everyday, but it was the first wedding where I could feel Covid’s interference on my skin. Krzyz and Nastasja’s wedding was super emotional.

Krzyz and Nastasja celebrated their third wedding ( due to Covid) at Memoire Wedding Venue. The first wedding was a very small event at home, because Nastasja is a lawyer and she had to get married and she registered under her new surname. Covid was in full swing a year later (last year) and they had another small wedding, because they made bookings they couldn’t cancel. They initially thought the wedding will happen, but it was dependant on the borders opening up (Krzyz and his side of the family is Polish), but Covid got worse especially across the borders due their winter being in our summer time. So they posponed the big wedding to a year later with all the family that couldn’t join because of the restrictions. It was a little stressful because they moved the date a few times, and finally settled on December and amazingly the restrictions got lighter in SA, and everyone thought the wedding is going to go as planned. But low and behold…the borders abruptly closed for the UK, and Nastasja’s brother couldn’t be at the wedding. Wow, the days had massive lows and massive highs. During the ceremony Nastasja was chatting with her brother on video call, and the tears were streaming, and a special moment was was when everyone sang for her brother’s birthday. It was his birthday on their wedding day! Congrats again to you both!

Enough said. Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
