MAGNUS + MELANIE
Cape Town, RSA
South Africa and more specifically Cape Town is becoming a fast favourite for international elopements and honeymooners. The appeal is undeniable due to our vast array of beautiful landscapes, wildlife and of course best weather.
I was eager to document a few memories for Magnus and Melanie when she first emailed me earlier this year with such excitement regarding their three week honeymoon plans in Africa.
Driving to their shoot I was stuck in tremendous traffic due to parts of the mountain on Camps Bay side being on fire - you'll see the smoke bomb effect in some of the shots with the twelve apostles in the background.
To our amazement this disaster actually created a soft beautiful haze-effect once we ventured to signal for golden hour. Melanie and Magnus, I hope my city has made you fall in love all over again and that you'll visit more often - This place is utter magic!
