Oh these two…just incredible.
But how I got to shoot their engagement shoot is even more so. I went to school with Kelly’s cousin, so when I first got an email from Michaela it was such fun catching up. She then told me that she would love to buy Kelly a shoot as a gift, as she had been having a really rough year. Such a beautiful gesture for her cousin. I contacted Kelly and we started chatting about shoot plans, but decided to schedule it for later in the year…when she was feeling a little more up to it and when it was just a few more months until their big day.
Francois & Kelly became Mr & Mrs a few weeks ago {Congratulations you guys} and as I’m sure you can tell from these pics…they make one gorgeous couple. Francois’s love for Kelly is so tangible. You can tell from the second you meet them that he would move mountains to make her smile. And smile she does. Kelly has the most infectious, gorgeous smile…one she beams across to Francois at every chance she gets. This afternoon’s shoot was squeezed in during our last few weeks in Cape Town and it fast became one of my favourites of the year. We trekked through forested paths & happy danced at the beautiful light. We joked & laughed and I ooo’d and aaah’d at the amazing chemistry between these two. But I’ll stop rambling & let the images talk for themselves.
Francois & Kelly…I wish you a lifetime of laughs, days filled with hope & happiness and rays of sunshine that shine through your hard hours.
All my love, Chris

Absolutely fabulous! Such a happy couple!
