When Thea approached me to do the wedding photography for her and Wayne at Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg, I was a bit skeptical. How can I work and be a guest at the wedding? The fact that Thea is one of my oldest friends, and Wayne a friend from school convinced me, and I took the job.
Needless to say the setting was stunning. The Drakensberg in autumn is the best place is our beautiful country that time of year, and to be able to shoot a wedding there, at Cathedral Peak Hotel is any photographer’s dream.
The wedding was everything it promised to be, and being able to do the photography for two old friends on their wedding day, share it with them, their friends and family is something I’ll look back on with a warm, fuzzy feeling every time.
