Cindy + Riaan = Engaged! - 17 October 2009 (Part 1)

I have been looking forward to Cindy and Riaan's engagement shoot for so long, and on Saturday morning I took to Botshabelo with my creative juices almost spilling out of my ears! This gorgeous couple will be getting married in March 2010 and I can't wait to photograph their wedding ;)

I offered to give them an engagement shoot to familiarize them with my style and to get used to being in front of the camera (which isn't as easy as it looks...).

But low and behold... a fabulous thunderstorm (which by the way hasn't been seen or heard in Middelburg for months!) decided to follow me there ;( As Cindy and Riaan arrived, they were greeted by threatening clouds and very loud thunder! We basically had about 15 minutes to get those long awaited snaps with a dark and sunless sky...

On the technical side, we got exactly 47 pictures (which aren't a lot) before something which closely resembled a TORNADO chased us back to our cars! Despite the threatening weather conditions and the three of us still getting to know each other, it was hard not to see how in love these two were!

*Cindy en Riaan: Baie dankie vir die blitsvinnige photoshoot! Julle twee is so gemaklik by mekaar dat dit my werk as fotograaf baie makliker maak ;)

So here's a very small preview of our 15 minute photoshoot ;) I'll be finishing their shoot on a much more sunny day!! ...hopefully ;)

Enjoy!

Hieronder is my gunsteling 2 foto's van die shoot! STUNNING!

To be continued.... ;)
