Off to Malawi…
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!
The Thompsons
The Thompsons were looking for some family photos for their Christmas card, so we met up at Old Orchard Park. They were a super sweet family! There’s something about kids and parks that brings out the wiggles… we had a ton of fun.
I tried hard to resist the urge to tell their girls how unbelievably cute they are. Something tells me they already knew.
Thanks so much for letting me photograph your family! It was a treat to learn everyone’s personality, and to make some images that capture them for everyone to share!
Koby and Tricia
Koby and Tricia are getting married in July. Tricia has never liked people taking photos of her, so it was a huge honor for them to ask me to shoot their wedding! I’ve wanted to do photos in Fillmore for a long time now, and they were willing to make the drive with me for their engagement photos. I had a ton of fun, and still can’t figure out why Tricia wouldn’t like photos taken of her…
Loved that wall:
Tricia is from Washington, so we did a Christmas in California photo for her family…
