So Yadi and her mom, Iwona, skidded into my home to check me out and me them,\u00a05 days before her wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel, Westcliff.<\/p>\n

They put their wedding celebration together in 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

I loved it.<\/p>\n

Plunged into the family stuff, as one is when capturing a wedding, I knew that the preparation part was going according to Angolan family tradition. \u00a0Everyone had a role to play. \u00a0Aunts, uncles, fathers and mothers.<\/p>\n

Loved Emmanuel putting Yadi’s shoes on.<\/p>\n

It took some persuading to get her agree to 5 minutes alone with me before she left for the service. \u00a0I just emphasised how important these memories would be for her in time.<\/p>\n

I loved her silhouette moments. \u00a0Ever calm and graceful, with her bump kicking to the rhythm of the day that lay ahead of her.<\/p>\n

Seeing Emmanuel letting Yadi\u00a0go or Yadi holding on to him for one final moment, with Qhawe eager to seize the moment he had been waiting for eagerly, was awesome to witness and capture.<\/p>\n

Many priests or pastors or whatever else they are called, don’t really inspire me. \u00a0They generally come across as scripted. \u00a0 But their’s was different. \u00a0His message was beautiful and moved the entire gathering. \u00a0Soon there were outbursts of emotion from both sides of the family to each other. \u00a0It was quite something to witness. \u00a0Here were two families, one side Angolan the other Xhosa, making their intention of their commitment to their children known.<\/p>\n

I’ll never forget the floury of iPhones and iPads being pulled out as they walked down the aisle. \u00a0What else could I\u00a0do to compete but to shoot that Mac moment.<\/p>\n

Some photographers get uptight when they’ve put a group together and others photo bomb it by taking their own shot.\u00a0 I love it.<\/p>\n

This is what the democratisation of photography is all about and it is growing every year.<\/p>\n

What will set good photographers apart is not their equipment – even though the iPhone 6s has great\u00a0photo quality – but their creative eye, which lies deep inside their being. \u00a0It is what makes them tick.<\/p>\n

The reception was an extension of the service.<\/p>\n

I’m going to get this wrong but there were many moments when everyone stood up and toasted “familia, sante”. \u00a0I hope someone corrects me so that i can edit this post.<\/p>\n

It was so beautiful.<\/p>\n

Family is everything!<\/p>\n
