Leeanne and Riaan, Calderwood Hall, KwaZulu Natal Midlands, South Africa

Thanks to my niece Gillian and her contacts in the wedding industry, we were able to photograph Leeanne's Cherish the Dress shoot at the beautiful Calderwood Hall just 35km  from Howick. This elegant Victorian country mansion built in the early 1900's provides a fantastic backdrop for a photographer. And the opportunity doesnt only lie with this beautiful building; the gardens host a fountain, a secret garden path and a chapel with beautiful stained glass windows. Just outside the garden lies a small lake and a pine woodland, we were really spoiled with photographic opportunities.

Leeanne looked wonderful and was keen to try some different shots to what one would get on a wedding day. We had a great time, exploring every part of this venue with Leeanne and also her husband Riaan. I loved working with this couple who were very relaxed and made the most out of their day out.

Although Riaan was quite happy to take part when and where he was needed, sometimes there is only so much standing and smiling a man can do! So, as he had brought his fishing rod along we thought the best thing to do was to let him do a bit of fishing, and we incorporated this into our shoot - resulting in this fabulous photography!

Leeanne and Riaan, I hope that you enjoyed these taster images!
