Shameem and Ighti
08th December 2011, in Weddings (21 Comments)
We loved Shameem and Ighti’s wedding.
Here are a few reasons why:
1. Shameem wore her mother’s wedding dress and she didn’t have to alter it even 1cm – it fit her like a glove. Amazingly, her sister wore this dress on her wedding day too (and also didn’t have to alter it), AND one of the guests at the wedding was the woman who made the dress 35 years ago. Now that is what we call heritage.
2. Shameem was possibly the most relaxed bride we have ever met. I have never seen someone so calm on their wedding day. Amazing!
3. When we were photographing them together, Shameem and Ighti barely noticed we were there – they were completely fixated with each other, they spontaneously laughed, kissed, snuggled and gazed at one another without any coaxing at all.
4. There were children in abundance at this wedding, which we love!
5. There was an amazing sense of community throughout the day – the love and support for Shameem and Ighti was tangible.
We are truly blessed to document love like this!

Wow….. There is so much emotion and tenderness here – so tangiable. The lovliness of all of all these images, awesome Becs. The tenderness and femininity of the shots of the bride and also with her bridesmaids – moving. Beautiful beautiful work!

you guys, seriously, seriously now.. there are no words that can describe just how amazing i feel these images are. i found myself staring at every single image. and every single image just tells so many stories and expresses SO much – i’m in absolute awe of your work. if i could capture just half of what you guys capture with every wedding you do, i would be such a content photographer for the rest of my life.
