Nikki Meyer Photography http://www.nikkimeyer.co.za South African photographer Wed, 16 May 2012 14:50:16 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Bertus & Louise http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/nikkimeyer/~3/VZyTvoKSfzE/ http://www.nikkimeyer.co.za/10158/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 14:18:18 +0000 nikki http://www.nikkimeyer.co.za/?p=10158 read more]]> Bertus en Louise het mekaar die eerste keer op Struisbaai gewaar. Bertus het dadelik geweet dat hy die pragtige blou oog meisie beter wou leer ken en so het die reis begin oppad na die 27ste April vanjaar – ‘n reis wat hulle aanvanklik albei nader aan God gebring het en toe die tyd reg was, bymekaar gebring het. Toe hulle eers besef dat hulle mekaar se sielsgenote is het dinge sommer blitsig gebeur! Louise is ‘n engel-kind en sy het so sag en stralend gelyk as bruid (kyk net haar ongelooflike oë!). Ek het die voorreg gehad om saam met haar te kon swot op Stellenbosch en daarom was dit ekstra spesiaal om haar fotograaf te kon wees. Ek was mal oor Louise se hare, die strooimeisies se rokkies en soos altyd Beloftebos as venue. Bertus en Louise is so gemaklik en so duidelik verlief dat dit ‘n fees was om die dag se gebeure te kon vasvang. Geniet!

Van Stephné se ongeloofllike rok tot die hout appeltjies en ‘Suikerbekkie’ lekkergoed tafel was besonders verby! Daarby is Frans en Stephné te oulik vir woorde – hulle is voorwaar mekaar se sielsgenote en hulle troue was ‘n visuele feesviering (albei werk ook in die reklamebedryf) van hulle liefde vir mekaar. Die gaste het hulle gate uit geniet en die hele dag was een hoogtepunt op die volgende!

Dankie Stephné en Frans dat ek die lekkerte kon hê om julle fotograaf te kon wees!

Een van hulle gunstelinge plekke om te wees is die dromerige Denneboom woud aan die hange van die Stellenbosch berge en dit is ook hier waar ek saam met hulle en ougat Coco, die woelige swart Staffie, ‘n bietjie gaan stap het en klomp lekker spontane foto’s kon neem. Dankie julle twee, ek sien SO uit na die 1ste Desember!

Lize het soos ‘n prinses gelyk in haar sagte Elbeth Gilis rok, porselein vel en pragtige donker hare. Dié twee dokters is sag van geaardheid, gaande oor mekaar en het ‘n lekker humorsin! Die onthaal is gehou in ‘n tent langs die De Ouwe Klok venue. Alhoewel die weer aanvanklik nie so mooi wou saamspeel nie, het die wind gaan lê en die koue al hoe minder geraak soos wat die aand verloop het. Op die ou end was die aand ‘n droom van ongelooflike kos, sagte kerslig en ‘n dansvloer wat aan die brand gedans is. Geniet!

I have so many favourites from this wedding, it was hard to choose for the post! Irini and Divan are your ideal clients – they are so in love and so spontaneous! The beautiful Irini with the smiling eyes and flawless skin was born in Greece (they also had a Blessing ceremony in Greece – many of Irini’s family still live on the beautiful Cyclades islands) but moved to South Africa many years ago. I was in love with Irini’s wedding dress, flowers and the decadent desert table :) The cute couple currently lives and work in the UK but say that SA is where their hearts are. I loved everything about their wedding but in particular how intimate and fun it was. Enjoy!!

Ek het so uitgesien na die 30ste Maart omdat ek reeds voorheen ‘n verlowingsfoto-sessie met hulle laasjaar gedoen het en dus geweet het wat voorlê :) Ek was mal oor al die sagte kleure – die lanterns, madalein se skoene, die troukar en die oulike dorpie, Philidelphia, se kleure. Madalein se vintage styl eenskouer rok, haar donker hare en besonderse blou oë het ‘n ongelooflike prentjie gemaak. Geniet!

Everything from start to finish was just so stylish and romantic. I was in love with the warm colours of the opulent décor. Nadine with her lady-like, warm personality made the most beautiful bride (and just look at her dress and shoes!). Bernard, the handsome groom, is the perfect match for Nadine and they just make such a happy couple. I posted lots of pics for you to enjoy!

Etienne en sy broer Hanno was letterlik my eerste seuns maatjies, naas my broer. Ek ken hulle letterlik al van baba dae af! So alhoewel ek bietjie moes uitmis op die feesvieringe self was dit ‘n reuse voorreg en lekkerte om agter die kamera te kon wees. Die dag was propvol hoogtepunte regdeur vanaf die beeldskone Annemi se pre-seremonie fotos, Etienne se reaksie af in die paadjie toe hy vir Annemi sien en die jolige partytjie (met die ongelooflikste buffet!) later in die aand. Ek het na my asem gesnak toe ek Nooitgedacht aan die binnekant sien vir die dekor fotos – alles was so sag en vars, presies nes Annemi. Alhoewel die reën en wind op ‘n stadium lelik gedreig het, het die wolke oopgetrek toe ons met die couple foto’s begin en die sagste lig denkbaar het neergeskyn.. Geniet!

Hulle is ‘n kombinasie van saggeaard en dinamiet, twee mense wat nie anders kan as om bymekaar te wees nie – hulle is werklik mekaar se ander helfte! So, vir my was dit ‘n massiewe voorreg om hierdie twee oulike mense se troudag te kon vasvang. Izza met haar petite figuurtjie, lang donker hare en besonderse oë was striking om die minste te sê. Val die Vie het ook perfek by hulle troudag gepas – die swierige onthaalsaal en netjiese polo veld in die voorgrond maak ‘n blywende prentjie. Die dekor was treffend en sag te gelyk. Die seremonie was vol emosie en lag en die onthaal ‘n partytjie soos min! Geniet!

Nina looked breathtaking with her flawless skin, bird cage veil, red shoes and soft make-up. She adores her two cute yorkies who also enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame with her :-) I loved Jason’s suit and his button hole! Photographing them was easy because they are really photogenic and they can effortlessly make each other laugh. Guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner at the cozy Pistachio restaurant in Durbanville. Enjoy!

It was quite an experimental one from my side and I was totally out of my comfort zone. Why? I put a Nikon body to the test :) I had my Canon 5Dii with my trusted 50mm f1.2 on the one arm and a giant Nikon D3s with 24-70 / 85mm on the other arm! I know my 5D like the palms of my hands by now and shooting with Nikon felt like being forced to drive a left hand car! But I’ve been wanting to do it for so long (a big thank you to Christine Meintjes for lending me her gear for the shoot) and finally had the chance to. Am I going to trade Canon for Nikon now? Maybe, but probably not since it is a massive financial switch and the new 5Diii that was launched last week (hopefully in SA by end of April?) looks very, very promising with 61 AF points compared to the current 9!

In case you are interested to see which shot was taken with which camera – there is either a C for Canon or N for Nikon underneath each shot. I must say the smoothness of the Nikon shots together with near perfect skin tones are fabulous!

Now back to our cute couple – Pc is a very talented photographer himself and I have had the privilege of working with him at quite a few of my weddings in the past. He and Eliska will tie the knot on the 26th of January next year. Judged by the fun we had on the couple shoot, I have a lot to look forward to then! Enjoy!

Kate looked like a dream with those striking azure blue eyes, long dark hair and a dress perfect for a princess. Ian looked very snazzy in his Scottish kilt. His family is Scottish and their surname is McLaren (quite fitting since he works for CAR magazine!). Kate’s mom was very involved with organizing the newly weds’ perfect day and she and her friends did the flowers for the tables. The weather was absolutely perfect and everyone had a fabulous time outside on the dance floor with the Franschhoek lights in the distance (what a setting!). Enjoy!

Die Country Club met sy statige houtstoele, kristalkandelare en 5 ster aansit ete het ekstra styl aan die dag verleen. Bronwyn en Aubrey, wat mekaar al sedert 2003 ken, is mekaar se beste vriende en hulle weet hoe om lekker hard te lag!

Vroeër die jaar het ons baie pret gehad met hulle verlowingsfotos en die troudag was soos iets uit ‘n sprokie: Baie oulike en aantreklike bruidspaar (lees hulle storie in die oulike koerantjie wat uitgegee is aan al die gaste – foto 4), ongelooflike ‘setting’, droom dekor en ‘n feesmaal soos min. Ek het lekker baie fotos opgelaai om die storie van hul troudag te vertel – geniet!!

Ons was ‘n groepie kinders wat ure om gespeel het op De Kelders se strandjie, klipvisse gevang het, op rolskaatse resies gejaag het, Monopoly gespeel en marshmallows gebraai het (hoe nostalgies raak ek nou!). Op die 16de Desember 2011 het Charlie toe afgehaak met haar Namibiese man en dit was ‘n sprokiestroue van begin tot einde. Charlie het nog altyd haar eie unieke styl gehad en sy (en al haar getroue vriende en familielede) het dit reggekry om presies dit na vore te bring op haar en Loumar se troue – ek was regtig mal oor elke stukkie detail – van die papawers en helder strooimeisierokkies (is dit nie stunning nie?!) tot die skryfbehoeftes en ougat troukoek. Charlotte het ongelooflik gelyk in haar Elbeth Gillis rok en vintage haarstyl. Charlie en Loumar het so baie hegte vriende so die troue kon nie anders as om ‘n groot makietie te gewees het nie.

Hulle mag dalk vir julle bekend lyk – hulle het vroeër vanjaar saam met hulle ewe oulike golden retriever, Knox, op die verlowingsfotos gepryk. Daar is vele dinge om te kan uitsonder van hierdie mooi troue, om maar net ‘n paar te noem: Ek was mal oor al die persoonlike ‘touches’ soos die ou hoedetas vir die seremonie/konfetti blaadjies en die ou familie troufotos; Liezel se romantiese haarstyl (Iza Cloete se handewerk); die uitsig oor die berge en die sagte manier waarop die twee na mekaar kyk.

They were so easy and fun to work. This striking German couple is from Rosenheim in Germany and after getting engaged in Mallorca decided to have an intimate wedding at a beautiful location in South Africa. They love being outdoors and in particular to spend all their free time in the mountains mountain biking, jogging, paragliding and skiing. Because of this love for the mountains (they live 15-30min away from the Alps) they chose 2 perfect locations for their wedding – the ceremony was held at Condé Stark (on a little island in the dam) in the Jonkershoek Valley and a lovely dinner followed at the beautiful Delaire Graff Estate. One of the many highlights of the day was when Nadine’s sister, Conny, sang 3 beautiful songs during the ceremony. I loved Nadine’s hair, her striking eyes and smile and also the fun and energy between them as a couple! Enjoy!

Dié twee dokters het afgehaak by ‘n pragtige klip kerkie in Oudtshoorn en toe is die partytjie voortgesit by die gesellige De Zeekoe gasteplaas net buite die dorp. Die dag was vol verrassings en hoogtepunte – Linde het soos ‘n silwerdoek godin gelyk en haar aantreklike man, Francois, het die mooiste stem! Linde se oorspronklike verloofring is so spesiaal met die woorde ‘my hart se knoop’ op uitgegraveer en die fynbos dekor en lanterntjies het perfek gepas by die gesellige atmosfeer. Ek was ook mal oor die handgemaakte borspeldjies vir die strooijonkers en strooimeisies. Francois het ‘n pragtige lied opgedra aan sy nuwe vrou en die gaste het die dansvloer warm gedans. Hierdie troue gaan nog lank deur almal wat die voorreg gehad het om daar te kon wees, onthou word! Geniet!!
