Doing wedding photography for family or friends is usually something I try and avoid at all cost, but after doing a wedding for a friend not too long ago, I was less reluctant to shoot for Grant and Nicolette at The Farm Inn in Gauteng. It is a great venue. The grounds is a great setting for some stunning photographs.

Getting the best shots was going to be a bit tricky, seeing it was a morning/early afternoon wedding. Thankfully they were very flexible, and we waited till latish in the afternoon before we did the couple shots, making it much easier and getting much better light. Once these two got into their stride, all I had to do was get the shutter to do its work.

Here are some shots from the day, on a cold, wintery Highveld  afternoon. Gauteng wedding photography at its best!
