So far, the farthest I’ve ever flown to shoot a wedding is Portland, Oregon. But tomorrow morning, I’m heading out to set a new record that will be very hard to break… I’m photographing a wedding in Lilongwe, Malawi.

I first met Kondwani, the groom, in Mozambique in 2001, where we were building a hospital. We stayed in touch, and in 2005, we ended up being neighbors in a rainy little flat behind the church we were working at in South Africa. Now he’s back in his home country of Malawi, and he’s getting married, and I’m shooting his wedding!

By the way, if you are interested in hiring me to take specific photographs of Malawi, I’ll be there until December 17th. You can contact me by email, which I’ll check as often as the sporadic internet connection allows. Otherwise, watch this blog in a month or so for a glimpse into a Malawian wedding!
