			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeanette &amp; Christiaan you made my day !!</p>
<p>The 2 of them will get married in September and we have been planning their engagement session since February I believe. I have always wanted to do a train trip photo session and these 2 were the perfect couple for such an adventure <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We met at Surfer&#8217;s Corner in Muizenberg, did a couple of pics at the Muizenberg Station, hopped on the train, stopped in Kalk Bay, walked along the harbour, had an early lunch at The Brass Bell, hopped back on the train and if I think back now, it all feels like a dream <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It was absolutely fabulous spending time with the 2 of you &#8211; can not wait for the wedding day on the farm in the middle of nowhere, outside De Rust !!!! Woooooohoooooo !!!!!!</p>
<p>See you in September <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exactly a year ago I shot a wedding at <a href="http://www.knorhoek.co.za/weddings.php">Towerbosch</a>, and here we are again &#8230; same location/different year.</p>
<p>There is soooo many things about my job/life that I absolutely just LOVE &#8211; documenting a wedding day is just one of the things that makes me smile from ear to ear. Maybe the fact that I know that 30 years from now people will still look at their pics recalling the day like it happened yesterday. {Creating memories} that is what I do &amp; absolutely LOVE doing.</p>
<p>Martin &amp; Bernice were made for one another &#8230; the way they look at each other with those big massive sparkling smiles : you just know by looking at them <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8230;. {LOVE} &#8230;. they ooze it.</p>
<p>Absolutely adore the location : Towerbosch has got his own kind of magic feel + the old school Jaguar = made my day!!!!</p>
<p>The final countdown to India has begun &#8211; in less then a week i will be arriving in Delhi to start my journey into the unknown. * excitement *</p>
<p>Final wedding today. Next wedding &#8230; Australia.</p>
<p>x</p>
<p>A big shout out to <a href="http://joannemarkland.co.za/">Joanne Markland Photography </a> for assisting me &#8211; love you much much !!!!</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted to shoot at Worcester Station and finally had the chance on Saturday with the wedding portraits. Not sure what my fascination with stations are at the moment &#8211; last week&#8217;s wedding portraits were also shot at a station &#8230;. hhmmmm, maybe cause I am leaving on an awesome trip very very soon !!! {15 days till i leave for India/Australia/Bali}</p>
<p>The one person that really stood out on this beautiful day was the driver of the wedding car &#8211; I have never laughed soooo much whilst taking pics. <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Arina &amp; Francois I hope you guys are having a ball in Thailand and have a brilliant life together as Mr&amp;Mrs Van Der Westhuizen.</p>
<p>much {LOVE} x</p>

<p>Well, we survived &#8211; just about &#8230;</p>
<p>Thank you Emily for staying calm when the rain came pouring down on us !!!!!</p>
<p><a href="http://just-jack.com/">Just Jack</a> did such a fabulous job with this wedding &#8211; absolutely just LOVE working with the <a href="http://just-jack.com/">Just Jack team</a>!!!</p>

<p>Amit is from Israel, Virginia an American girl all the way from  A L A B aaa M A <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  She was special, real special. I have never met them before and I will most likely never see them again, but she left an enormous impression !! The pics of her just before she walks down the isle was natural light that just shone upon her : i have never seen such beautiful light : *special*</p>
<p>It was my 2nd Jewish wedding and what an interesting ceremony !!!! In the Jewish religion you have to have a certain amount of people at the wedding to make it legal &#8211; luckily the couple had the brilliant team from <a href="http://just-jack.com/">Just Jack</a> to make all of this possible <img src='http://www.carmenvisser.co.za/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I absolutely love working with the <a href="http://just-jack.com/">Just Jack team</a> &#8211; shooting another wedding for them tomorrow!</p>
<p>The venue was like something out of a fairytale !!!! <a href="http://www.cellars-hohenort.com/welcome">The Cellars &#8211; Hohenort</a> is situated in Constantia and has got 9 acres of award winning gardens. It was an absolute dream for the portraits of this beautiful couple!!!!</p>
<p>Wishing both of you a fabulous life together with only beauty and happiness surrounding you.</p>
<p>Mazel Tov !!!!!!</p>
