Filipa and Michael

Were married 6 January 2012, at Solms Delta in Franschoek
Filipa_michael_blog103
We loved...
... that Filipa and Michael are proof that a long-distance relationship can end happily. They love each other with a depth and excitement that has transcended oceans. Theirs is the kind of love that most people only dream about, and from the way they look at each other it is clear to see that they know how blessed they are. We hope that our photographs convey adequately the magnitude of emotion that was present at this wedding. Filipa and Michael – what an honour. Thank you.

    from Ana Clara Rivera — January 25, 2012 @ 9:37 pm

  16. A GIGANTIC congratulations to you both. Marriage is one heck of a ride. ‘heck’ an usual word but then again…. marriage is an unusual world.

    The chosen theme ‘love made visible’ was superbly chosen with many many of those beatiful moments captured. The level of creativity and the sheer quality of the photographs give rise to an accolade. The photographer clearly has an outstanding talent. I haven’t seen any wedding photos even come close to yours. My admiration goes out to the photographer. You were born to capture moments in time. I agree with Stephanie Mizzi.

    Breathe a sigh of relief. The planning and arranging of the big day is over. Get ready for a heck of a ride.
