Lohann and Paulien’s wedding took place in Polokwane (Pietersburg) in the Dutch Reformed Church’s “Moedergemeente”.

I grew up in Pietersburg and even though it can get quite chilly in winter, I have never such a cold day as this day.  The light wind cut through clothes like a scalpel!

It was a morning wedding and we first had the ceremony and then directly thereafter the reception in the adjacent church hall.  It was the first “traditional” wedding I have done where the wedding and reception took place on the church grounds.

After the reception I kidnapped the wedding party for some shots.  The poor girls had purple blotches on their skin from the cold!

I tried to get a wintery feel into the photos, playing a bit with the grey, brown and orange colours.

At the end of the photo session Pauline was in tears.  The cold got to her and she was not feeling well.  Now who said wedding photography is an easy job?!
