Jaco & Christine's Engagement-shoot


Hi guys,
here is a post containing more pictures that words. It consists of a selection of some of the engagement shots I took of Jaco and Christine last weekend. Driving back from Anli's birthday-party  the weekend before I noticed these beautiful white blossoms on one of their neighboring farms and knew that it would be a sin not to shoot something there while it's in bloom. I phoned Anli and she helped me to get permission from the farmer (Thank you Pedrie) to shoot there. The plan was to shoot 2 days later but unfortunately the weather turned and we had to postpone till the next weekend. Arriving on the weekend I was disappointed to see that most of the white blossoms were gone due to the wind and rain. The white blossomed orchard was now dominated by green instead of white - still pretty but a little different than I envisioned. Anyways, it is common knowledge that as a photographer you always have to be very flexible and nothing ever is exactly what one expects. Mieke, thank you for your help and input on the shoot - much appreciated.
It was a great pleasure to work with these two dear friends of mine and I'm much looking forward to their wedding.
