What can be more rewarding than shooting my last wedding of the Southern Hemisphere season on a pure white beach on an African tropical island?! Mix in an ancient city in the form of Stonetown and you have a photographic paradise.

Paz and Renata kept it pretty simple. One celebrant, one witness (a complete stranger grabbed from her morning beach walk), one bride, one groom, an incredibly beautiful setting…..and one photographer (that’s me), doubling as second witness.
I hadn’t met Paz from Israel or his Brazilian fiance Renata before their wedding. Making my way from my little Aussie coastal dwelling an hour down the coast it really felt like three worlds colliding. My introduction was warmed with dutiful shots of well aged scotch from some likewise well aged egg cups – they did the job.
From our first moments onwards, the shots (photographic shots that is) tell a story of love and romance fused with a strong dash of Brazilian spirit and Israeli charm.
Dallas, the celebrant , our new found and very enthusiastic witness, and of course myself, all felt incredibly privileged to have played a small role in celebrating Paz and Renata’s South Coast Wedding.
