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.

WEDDING DAY - IN THE COMPANY GARDENS CAPE TOWN.

MINOVIA & EBRAHIM

Shooting Wedding Photographs and keeping track of photos is a full time job which hardly affords me the time off to concentrate on updating my blog, viz.- Wedding Day with Photojani. However, as a professional Wedding Photographer I decided that I need to devote more time to my Wedding Photography and showcase some of my older Wedding shoots. 

So the past weekend I was going though some Wedding photos and Wedding Albums and earmarked several Weddings that I just have to share with you guys out there. The beauty of these photographs, is that it shows future brides and grooms, their dressmakers, their Wedding planners and their caterers some of the ideas that has been implemented by others. Some ideas are stunning, others ordinary and some are just exclusive and outstanding.

The pictures below is of a Wedding I did some time ago, but what makes this Wedding extra ordinary, is the colour of the Bride's Wedding Dress and the intricate beading, amongst so many other details. Have a look for yourself and decide if this could be you on your Wedding day. The groom's attire was also so different, in fact you could say the theme was "Why be ordinary?". I've limited the photographs to less than 25 out of the 780 Wedding Photographs I took of this Wedding. Many of them were enlarged and framed exhibition style and adorns the walls of family members. Amongst them are photographs with a backdrop of Table Mountain in its full glory and other photographs of flowers and plants in season. It can be seen on some of the photographs the the tree has already shed their leave, implying that its Autumn.

The bride was absolutely beautiful but the most stunning object at this wedding, the bride excluded was her priceless wedding ring. A magnificent diamond ring , princess cut, 2 caret, set in platinum. It looked far more stunning than the rock of Gibraltar. Food was in abundance and the cakes were divine. It was a absolutely amazing Wedding and I'm sure would agree if only you could see the rest of the photographs.

WEDDING DAY IN GRASSY PARK

SAMANTHA & ADRIAN

Monday was a public holiday and an ideal Wedding Day. The sun was hot but overcast with a slight breeze. The Wedding of +Samantha and +Adrian  was a spur of the moment Wedding, yet everything  went down as smooth as silk. It took less than two weeks to plan, finance and execute their Wedding.  Timing was impeccable and the entire proceedings was just smart. It started at 3 in the afternoon and by 3:30 everyone was seated in the church and the pastor was busy delivering his pre-wedding sermon to the Bride and Groom and the guests. Samantha looked really elegant and her husband +Adrian really handsome. The bridesmaids looked lovely too, with their gold and black dresses but the Wedding Cake was to die for, not to mention the monster chauffeur driven limousine. The bestmen and bridesmaids were each chauffeured in  a Black VW Polo. The Wedding Cake was a five tier flower cake which can be viewed below. It was really stunning but I dear to say that it tasted much, much nicer than it looked. It was mouth watering thick chocolate cake with decadent layers of mousse.

We went to Arderne Claremont Gardens to take the Wedding photographs and eventhough the time spend there was short the photographs are really going to make a splendid photobook. Claremont gardens with its beautiful selection of obscure trees and foliage is famous as a venue for Wedding photography. Samantha had a beautiful dainty diamond ring with matching gold earrings and matching tiara. She looked like royalty. Adrian wore a white suit which is really uncommon in the hired tuxedo world, but it made him look the part. His bestmen wore black suits with matching ties and complimented him beautifully.   The hall was wonderfully decorated for more than 200 guests. Tasty food was in abundance and so were the speeches. It all started out with a prayer of thanks and ended off with a prayer of thanks. By 8 the evening the Wedding came to finality and Adrian was ready to take his wife Samantha to the honeymoon destination.
