Bridal Couple - Amyaaz & Rizqa

Arderne Gardens Claremont

The wedding of bridal couple - Amyaaz & Rizqa was a very quaint affair. Lots of family, uncles, aunts, parents and cousins, lots friends, lots to eat and lots to drink. However when it came to the photographs the couple wanted pics without the rest of the family, especially since it was their wedding. That's exactly as it should be, considering it's their wedding album. No frivolous uncles and aunts with their obtuse attitudes who wants to be in each and every photograph, because either the bride or groom is their favourite niece or nephew. Nor those pesky cousins with the expensive cellphone with it's multi megapixel cameras who constantly jump or step in infront of the photographer just as her flash goes off to take that very special shot. As the old adage goes, you can choose your friends but you cannot choose your family.

Amyaaz & Rizqa had a really nice day for their wedding, not to much sun neither too overcast. Her wedding dress was a marvel with the bead work to die for. Together they made a very cute couple but not as cute as that amazing diamond ring. I may be wrong but they are probably the youngest couple we have shot todate.

WEDDINGS - BRIDES AND GROOMS

Wedding Day Photography is all about capturing that unique and intimate moment between the Wedding couple. The idea is to shoot them unawares, when they are absorbed into another, totally oblivious of the onlookers and their surroundings. The best photographs are those that are not posed for, but as a Wedding Photographer I have to abide by and respect the wishes of the bride, to photographs of what she wants. Normally the brides wants photographs of everything, which becomes cost prohibitive but eventually settles for pics with the family, and the new in-laws in order to stay within their  budget. 

However, photographs of the diamond ring, the designer shoes, the bouquet,  the designer Wedding Dress, the luxury car or limousine, the stage and the hair-do is a must, but this blog is not about painting all brides with the same brush, since each bride is unique and has her own preferences. Wedding Day photography with Photo Jani is all about what the bride wants, considering that our motto is, 

"Every bride needs a woman's touch on her Wedding Day!"

Generally the grooms are normally not too picky and will settle for what his wife wants and will go through the motions of posing for every photograph that she wants him to pose for. Below are photographs of 14 bridal couples, the  first one of the bride only then one of the bride and groom, in most cases. You be the judge as to who deserves to be bride of the year and which bridal couple looks the most suited to one another. Send so feedback with your choices. Thanks.

DAYAAN & ASMA - MUSLIM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY CAPE TOWN

DAYAAN & ASMA

Dayaan and Asma had a very quaint Muslim wedding. Not too many guests, sufficient to eat drink and make merry. The speeches were short  and the proceedings went smoothly and everything happened on time as per the itinerary.  They are an absolutely gorgeous couple and both looked stunning on their wedding day. 

Weddings are a very special occasion for both the families of the bride and groom where they all come together as one. This is exactly what happened at Dayaan and Asma wedding, every one wished them well and very happy for them.  I am a Muslim Wedding Photographer based in Cape Town with a portfolio of more than 450 weddings over a 25 year period and have yet to see a more joyous occasion. The bride's dress was simple yet stunning. With the matching tiara she looked like royalty. My contact details may be found on the Photojani Advert below.
