The JOURNAL

I was beyond excited when Tamieka reached out to let me know that she was pregnant and wanting to document this special time in her and John’s lives. Four years ago I photographed their beautiful wedding at the Sandstone Point Hotel and these two made a memorable impact on me. Tamieka’s bubbly, happy confident personality and John’s kind and patient nature made the day a dream to photograph. Some of my favourite wedding photos ever are from their day.

The way Sasha looked at his beautiful Taliah brought tears to my eyes.
Tahlia stood glowing, holding her beautiful full belly as the sun set over the water, the kids playing on the beach and when I told Taliah to look toward Sash her smile lit up like the sun behind her.
“Isn’t she stunning?” Sash said in awe of his beautiful partner. Yep, she certainly is! This is what you call that pregnancy glow.

It was a love story that started like many others of this current time…yes, the dreaded time of Covid. Which turns out, actually wasn’t so dreaded in the end for these two beautiful humans.
From Columbia and South Africa these two travellers were lucky to find each other in a time of lockdowns and restrictions and separation from their families.
