There was something enchanting about the setting: like taking a step back to a simpler time; to a quieter place where the union of two young people could be celebrated in family & friendship.
The tiny chapel seated 20 of their closest relatives, it was an intimate affair, friends (and photographers congregating in doorways and in the courtyard outside) still sharing in the sermon & the nuptial, voices travelling through open doors, laughter spilling forth
with solemn words...and the marriage sealed with a kiss.
Gaylin danced & twirled in celebration & glee, her beautiful gown billowing around
her; her joy infectious, his love for her obvious and the tone of the day was set
by the couple themselves, unhindered by formalities.
But before there was primming & make up, bobby pins & curling irons, bridesmaids & mischief. Gaylin was surrounded by her sisters, fussing and teasing,
when the these girls are together, sisterhood makes everything even more special

The Graduation of
Shaheed Martin
The University of Cape Town is a formidable sight on any day, but at graduation there is something even more majestic about this place of higher learning, the oldest university in South Africa. Returning to it's corridors as an old Alumni and welcoming young graduates like Shaheed Martin to the fold, is an occasion well worth celebrating. The young men & women capped on this day, leaves this old soul with renewed hope for our great country.
Architecture has gained a new creative spirit in Shaheed Martin with unique talents & a burning desire to change the landscape of SA.

The Bride & Groom
Love that requires nothing more of us than to be ourselves, is worth celebrating.
Not the red roses, live-happily-ever-after, cinderella kind of love;
but the very modern fairytale where the guy & girl "gets" each other;
gets to laugh & cry together on this rollercoaster called life,
standing squarely together in the face of the unromantics & the cynics,
announcing to the world with every action;
with every tender glance;
with every gentle caress:
We are Love.
To Zarina,
for your laughter that rings true & spreads joy.
To Simon,
for inspiring such happiness!
