Surprise engagement – Marcell & Willie

Sybrand — Wed, 19 May 2010 09:33:25 +0000

Willie got in touch with me a while ago to be there when he asked his girlfriend to marry him. He was going to charter a beautiful yacht for the evening and then pop the question out at sea at sunset.

It took a bit of planning and I must admit I did tell a couple of white lies to explain why I’m on the boat, but like to think that Marcell didn’t suspect anything. (there’s not many places to hide on a boat!) I did manage to steal a few shots as we were cruising past Table Mountain until Rochelle asked if I’d mind taking a few photos of the two of them (she thought I was commissioned by the charter company). I knew then that the white lies paid off!

Charter company: Tigger2

Melindi & Hein – Engagement (Film Noir)

Sybrand — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:26:31 +0000

I’ve been doing more themed inspired engagement shoots lately. It keeps me on my toes by putting me in a unfamiliar situation and force me to think outside the box and the couples have an excuse to dress up and have fun!

I did a Film Noir inspired shoot with Melindi and Hein over the weekend. Melindi just loves old films and even got her hands on the coolest little 1920’s looking dress.

Hein is an extremely inspiring individual and among other things have sailed in the Cape to Rio Yacht Race, ran the Hong Kong and New York City Marathon and even broke the World Blind Land Speed Record in 2005. (Hein was born blind) Check out his website: www.visiontree.co.za
