Engagement Photos | George

I first met the couple on the day of the photo shoot because there was no other time in their busy schedule. I didn’t have the opportunity to ask them what and how they wanted the photo shoot done. As the day panned out it was easy to assess their needs quickly. The fiancé was initially not very keen and quite camera shy like most other males usually are. However, between me and his lovely lady we managed to put him at ease quite quickly and as you can see in the photographs, he relaxed very soon and both of them ended up really enjoying the photo shoot. The beautiful picturesque surroundings helped too. It was my very first engagement shoot in George. The location of the photo shoot was at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains fairly deep into one of the many forest trails. The surrounding magnificent trees could easily be anywhere in the Rhine forest in Europe.

Yasthil and Priyal surprise proposal shoot - Camps Bay

Last Saturday evening I got a call from Dan, who is the events Coordinator at The  Bay Hotel here in Cape Town. She was in a little bit of a hurry to get a photographer for the next day, because her client wanted someone to capture his proposal the next day, on Camps Bay beach. Dan and the staff from The Bay Hotel set up a little special spot on the beach where Yasthil was going to propose to his girlfriend Priyal. There was a few special photos of the couple printed out, and hanged up under an umbrella....a trip down memory lane for Priyal to look at when she got to the spot.

I was sitting a few meters away from the special picnic spot on the beach, pretending to be a tourist with a big camera on the beach. As soon as they were approaching the picnic spot, I started snapping away, making sure I don’t want to miss a moment. Everything went according to plan….

After Priyal said yes, and took a few sips of champagne, we did a quick couple shoot on the beach. Was very cool to share this special moment with the couple and to capture this special moment for them forever to look back on.
