I've been trying for about a year to have a logo designed. I've asked various graphic designers to come up with designs for me and strangely I've actually fallen in love with one I created myself (a concept a fellow photographer gave me)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I asked a friend for some advise and he sent me two logo designs that he created and that sparked the concept of creating my own. Going with his design I played around with about 20 different fonts and being a Librian it took me forever to settle on one that actually spoke to me. I finally fell in love with the font I used and asked a few people for "approval" which everyone was quite positive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I didn't realise how stressful creating your own logo would be but in the end I had a lot of fun. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Once my logo was complete and I was happy with it, I decided that I need to do a "coming out" shoot. I decided to feature my friend Shadae and her boyfriend in the pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So the main concept wasn't only to have a logo to place onto my photographs but also a logo which I can use on my products and presentation work. I saw a company on Instagram advertising personalised USB's, I liked the idea and should have some made. As soon as my logo was ready I contacted them and below are the end result. </span><br />

I must say from the moment I met with Lisa til the last moment when I saw them, I enjoyed photographing this wedding. This wedding was filled with laughs and joy, exactly what a wedding should be, a happy moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No wedding is 100% perfect and when problems arose, Lisa's mother still managed to make us laugh and make the problem seem tiny in comparison to the happiness which should be shared. Tremaine kept smiling when he looked at Lisa, he couldn't hide how happy he was and how inlove he was with her. Lisa kept stealing kisses at very chance with a little giggle which showed how inlove she was. Tremaine at one point even told Lisa that the most important part of the day is that they are now married and nothing makes him happier than knowing that they are now husband and wife.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The love shared between Tremaine and Lisa is priceless and definitely immeasurable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Marriage is the union of two people who love each other and can't see their lives without each other. A wedding is a time when friends and family come together to help celebrate your union. Love is what should be shown not only in the exciting times but also in the times when times get hard and things seem impossible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">May you'lls marriage be blessed with everything your hearts desire, may you see many years of happiness and may you always stand together as a team no matter what life throws at you both</span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Set in the tranquil valleys of the Midlands Meander, along the
Nottingham Road. This place is home to the best Cheese Cake I've ever had, if
you know me, you would know I'm very fussy when it comes to cheese cake. I
simply don't eat cheese cake because I've had some really bad tasting ones.
When my sister came up with this idea of diving +-30mins just to have cheese
cake, I was originally not keen until she kept persisting that I
would not regret it.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">So off we went, I didn't realise how far we would have to drive
until we got the place and she whipped out a map and showed me how far we
drove.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Café LANG is a family-owned business established on the 30th
October 2008 by four sisters Lesty, Antoinette, Nikki and Gen.</span></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

still based at their previous premises in Delville Road. I was quite sceptical
but yet excited to see this coffee shop a friend had told me about. It was a
lovely summers day, as I walked up the stairs into the coffee shop, I was
greeted with a warm welcome by a lady named Sibu (Sibu was with Café LANG from the beginning but unfortunately passed away last year), she seemed nervous at first
but settled in quite fast. I remember ordering<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a cup of cappuccino and a slice of chocolate cake. While waiting for my
order I was approached by Nikki, she introduced herself and welcomed me to Café
LANG. She had this big smile on her face and I felt right at home. This soon
became my favourite hang out spot for… coffee and cake hahaha</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Years later I realised that everyone is brought into your
life for a reason and knowing Nikki and her sisters has been nothing but
awesome. The moment you step foot into Café LANG you are received with big warm
smiles from Nikki and her team and your mood is immediately uplifted to the point where you
have absolutely no option but to leave smiling.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">This has become my favourite coffee shop because these
ladies have made God the foundation of their business coupled with good hearts
making this a successful and inspirational place to be. Every morning they have
a “thought for the day” on their black board as you enter, they offer thee best
Red Velvet cake and lemon meringue, nothing beats feeling uplifted emotionally
and spiritually by simply being in the presence of someone who owes you nothing
but brings you peace and gives you hope.</span> </span></div>

<br />
April being such a crazy month for photographers, Lonwabo & Bongi knew that
they had to book way in advance… and so they did… 9 Months in advance! I first
met the couple when they came for their pre-wedding pictures earlier this year,
they were keen for any of my ideas – nature reserve included. Its not often
photographers get to meet their couples so far in advance and get a feel for
what the couple would like. Lonwabo & Bongi are from Cape Town so most
arrangements were done via email and whatsapp.<br />
<br />
Lonwabo and Bongi got married at the scenic Dans Country Lodge about 22km’s out
of Mthatha and had the perfect weather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The following Monday morning they got suited up once more to have some awesome pictures taken at an old church and long the railway line in Mthatha.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I cant wait to meet this this couple on the 10th year anniversary or even 20th year anniversary :)</span></div>

I had seen the poster last week and was thinking "hmmm... maybe I should go for it" here's the picture they posted on their facebook page<br />

<br />
So there I was at Café LANG to drop off a few flyers and to get a slice of their awesome Red Velvet Cake (a must have if you haven't had it yet). I told Nikki (one of the owners of Café LANG) that I was considering going to donate blood at Harcourts (just down the road from Café LANG) and she said I should do it because its an amazing feeling and two of her staff member had also gone to donate.... I decided to take a drive passed Harcourts, I parked outside their yard and sat thinking for a few minutes about whether I really want to do this.<br />
<br />
All sorts of thoughts went through my mind about how my sister had told me that the needle is huge and that they take about 500ml of blood. My mind was racing and while thinking of all these things... I found myself greeting Nella and Devyn at the Harcourts door. They both thanked me for coming but I was still not sure whether I am going to go through with it. <br />
<br />
Anyway I approached the lady from SANBS who gave me a pamphlet to read then said I should fill out the form if I agree and understand what was written on the pamphlet. I nodded and she passed me the form. I stopped and asked the SANBS man next to me "how much blood are you taking" she giggled and replied "about 475ml" I was relieved coz it was 25ml less than what my sister told me and that made the worlds difference in my mind. I then turned and asked the SANBS lady across me "I hear the needle is quite big, how big is it?" she said "it is big but not thaaat big" I once was again relieved. She asked if I was nervous and I didn't hesitate and responded with a huge nodding of my head. She smiled and said "the more nervous you are the more it will scare you and it might just hurt" I thought about it and said "ok I'll calm down while filling the forms out" she agreed. I filled the forms out and handed them to her. She signed them and told me to take them to the bus that was a few feet away.<br />
<br />
I walked to the bus, handed the forms over to the SANBS lady inside who I recognised from earlier when I told them about my knee injury and the meds I had taken for it. I was slightly relieved to see Devyn in the bus already giving blood. <br />
<br />
I can honestly say the most sore thing was the prick on my finger for the
iron test, which they lady said wouldn't be sore but told me afterwards that
she was joking coz she knew I'd probably not want to do it LOL which is
actually very true! I then laid down on the bed and watched the man prepare the
area where he would insert the needle, which he got the needle I looked away
and told him to tell me when he was done... he said "Don't worry it
doesn't take long, and there you go, its done" I was like... you can't be
serious! I was preparing myself to scream from the pain. It was painless! I
must admit though I was shaking non stop until the last drop!<br />
<br />
And just like that it was over, he was putting a plaster on and I was fit to
go. I put a brave face on and went to have a glass of juice and those awesome
biscuits.... that they only give you three of hmmm... LOL. I was then good to
go with my certificate below:<br />

Last remarks: Donating blood was well worth it, knowing that I helped save someone's life by just giving the few millilitres I have made a difference in someone's life, in someone's family's life. Donating blood is not as scary as people make it out to be, its actually quite fun, there are people there along the way making sure that you are ok. You walk away with a little wiggle in your step and that warm fuzzy feel good feeling. Please don't walk away if you feel dizzy... LOL only kidding. Walk away proud and come back 60 days later to give a little more *wink*</div>

They invited various businesses to attend & showcase their talents and their work. To mention a few, Hertz Mthatha, Sun International, EC Productions, Vodacom Mthatha, Umvini etc.<br />
<br />
With a few days to get all my advertising material together I had to rush but managed to get flyers, business cards and a pull up banner made just in time. I also sponsored a voucher for a lucky winner. I must stay Hotel Savoy pulled out all stops & I applauded Leigh, Joann & their team for pulling off a successful event.<br />
<br />
Below are a few pictures from the event. I included a few pictures taken by Adiel from Umvini how sponsored the décor for the tables.<br />

<br />
I love covering weddings! Its the day you say "I do" and promise to spend the rest of your life by each others side. <br />
<br />
I declare Siyanda as one of my favourite brides, I love all my brides and still keep in contact with 80% of them (Others change phone numbers and email addresses) some I even have as facebook friends and we joke around often.<br />
<br />
From the moment I met Siyanda (just a few minutes before covering her bride dressing) I knew she was special, she had this ease about her, yes she wanted to be on time but also realised its her special day and she has to enjoy it... And so she did. Sbabatso was also quite a chilled groom, he was up for some cool fun pictures so was Siyanda and the bridal party. It was really awesome when a golf ball came flying over out heads and we all ducked lol. Fun times in deed.<br />
<br />
Below are a few pictures of the Mqhome wedding.<br />

<br />
These two boys had me laughing most of the time with the cute little things they done, Adien enjoyed copying everything his big brother Justin done. This is my 3rd photo shoot and every time was more and more special. I am honoured to have captured both boys when they were still in mommy tummy and now both of them as little toddlers. Daddy handsome as ever and mommy beautiful inside and out. I look forward to capturing the boys 21st birthday AND weddings hahaha as well as mom and dads 50th anniversary *grin*<br />
<br />
Thank you Caroline and Reagan for allowing me to capture your maternity and family pictures<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Out with <strike>2013</strike> in with 2014</span></h2>
This year I'm doing it <span style="font-size: x-large;">BIG</span> and giving more quality to my clients and potential clients.<br />
<br />
Its going to be one crazy awesome year, starting with my new studio which I've just opened <span style="font-size: large;">TODAY! </span><span style="font-size: small;">(14 January 2014) My address is 1 Prestwich Road, Mthatha. I'm situated just below the TPS Sports field off the N2.</span><br />
<br />
From all the people I've met last year I'm walking through 2014 with them by my side and I hope to build stronger relationships with them aswell as develop new ones with more service providers in and around Mthatha.<br />
<br />
First on my list is something that's rather new to me and on my facebook page, its my Project 365 which I started on the 1st January 2014. Basically I will be uploading a picture every day of something that happened during the day or of something I done/saw that day. So far its going good and I'll keep everyone updated on it as the year goes by.<br />
<br />
Secondly I'll be running more regular blog posts (I know I posted a lot last year but I'd still like to get more active when it comes to posting blogs and keeping people informed about what's happening)<br />
<br />
Lastly, I'd to wish everyone a Happy New Year and may all your aspirations for 2014 be come a reality but bigger and better than your expectations :)<br />
<br />
Don't forget I'm still doing 2014 calendars for those who never got theirs in 2013, I got your back ;)<br />
<br />
For all the teachers out there, I'll be starting on School Pictures from the 3rd February so make sure you reserve your date ASAP because I wont be doing school pictures beyond the second term (after the end of June)<br />
<br />
Here's to an awesome year ahead<br />
<br />

<br />
1. In 2013 I met Leigh & Jo-Ann from Hotel Savoy Mthatha who I have build a wonderful relationship with, they even sponsored my Bride of the Year 2013 competition shortly after meeting me! And now they sponsoring my Bride of the Year 2014 prize too! Amazing! The hotel is awesome and I'd definitely book in there and recommend it.<br />
<br />
2. I got to meet a very talented hair-dresser by the name of Joelle Paul, she's amazing and comes highly recommended from me. She did my hair on the 21st of September for my friend's (Charlene & Tim) wedding.<br />
<br />
3. I met Carmen Howie who does eyelash extension, I'm definitely trying this out soon, no more mascara! Yipeeee!<br />
<br />
4. I've also built relationships with some photographers who I can refer people to if and when I am already booked for a wedding/function. <br />
<br />
2013 has been amazing! I learnt from it and gained extensive knowledge over the past 12 month which I am definitely going to carry out in 2014.<br />
<br />
2014... BRING IT ON!!!Ayesha van Staadenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12309885711579480372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138591656761089536.post-61035636108228937642013-12-20T17:50:00.000+02:002014-01-13T21:52:20.538+02:00Madaza Wedding | 9 November 2013On the 9th of November I got to meet a sweet bride and a very joyful groom. Luyanda and Nelisa got married in Mthatha, the ceremony was at the Cathedral and their reception about 20km out of Mthatha. <br />
<br />
I absolutely enjoyed taking pictures of the flower girls, they were always ready with a smile and a very creative pose for each picture. Luyanda I think was very amazed at his (now) wife and couldn't keep his eyes off of her as shown in the last 2 pictures. He always had a smile on his face when he looked at her and she would giggle.<br />
<br />
Lesson learnt from this couple: never let the spark fade *wink*<br />

Below are a few pictures of our experience on a very hot day in Cape Town (something Hamida and I never got to experience much on previous visits to the Mother City.<br />

<br />
On the second leg of our holiday my sister and I decided to visit Charly's Bakery in Cape Town seeing as we were in the Mother City for my cousin's birthday.<br />
<br />
I love Charly's Cake Angel's on Channel 175 on DSTV, I doubt I've missed a show since it started! I've always been interested in baking so this was huge for me, seeing this "mucking afazing" place in person and not just watching it on TV. I remember my sisters GPS saying we arriving at our destination and I could not see the place until we drove a bit further and I finally got to see it. I literally bursted out shouting "yaaay! Charly's Bakery, Oh my word! This is sooo cool" I probably sounded like a retard but I was really excited. Anywhoooo moving straight along, I made it a point to take a few pictures inside and outside... I wouldn't be Ayesha if I didn't hehe... Below are the pictures I loved most<br />

I've written about it before but I think what really makes the venue is the constant improvement to the gardens and outdoors.<br />
<br />
Today I covered Siyanda & Portia's wedding, they were ever willing to do anything I suggested... even walk across the whole property to get some cool shots near a water feature. Love you two for that :)<br />
<br />
This couple did things a little different when it came to their place settings for their reception, they named each table after some very expensive cars and had a "fake" cake on each table & best of all, each person who attended their wedding got a key ring with their names on! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Its a couple like Siyanda & Portia who make my job such a pleasure to carry out, they are definitely a couple who stand out for me.<br />

My sister - Hamida - said that we should go coz she heard about it and it sounded very promising (me still blank).<br />
<br />
So we got all dressed and ready for the show, I luckily packed my blue dressed in when I left home looong before I heard about the show.<br />
<br />
There are no words to describe the show, the food and the creativity that went into this work of art. The show has been in South Africa for over a year and will still be showing in Cape Town until the 14th January then they leave for JHB.<br />
<br />
Let me set the scene, when you enter the place you are greeted by a very friendly man who asks for your booking reference, you are then offered welcome drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic), there's a man on stilts who is dressed like a giraffe, there's a huge carriage that you can take pictures in. You then enter the first tent and there are men dressed up like mummy's and ladies walking around serving drinks, chocolates all over the place which you are welcome to have and to your left is a place where you can buy Madame Zingara make up, wigs, hats, t-shirts as well as an option to have your face painted (which we obviously done).<br />
<br />
In the main tent the set up is much like a restaurant with booths and tables around the main stage. The food was a 4 course meal, I can't quite remember the name of what I had but it was second to none! The option I chose for main course was steak with a chocolate chilli sauce which was absolutely divine! The performances were amazing! With entertainers doing acrobatics, drummers, singers & a trapeze artist.<br />
<br />
Ok ok, I know you want to see the pictures so scroll on down and see what we got up too, the pictures are very clear (I didn't take my camera with) but its Samsung ;)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In life, the people we love most hurt us the worst, I’ve
learnt that this is only because we care so dearly for them. Unfortunately its
hard to tell who will hurt you but we trust them not to. <br />
<br />
You alone are responsible for your own happiness, don’t give that power to
someone else.</span></div>

Mr and Mrs Mangesi got married in Tabase, a village just outside of Mthatha, about 30km out towards Ngcobo/Langeni.<br />
<br />
With very little communication from the groom (whom I was dealing with) I arrived on time & was ready for action... just to find the wedding was running just over an hour late. Fortunately I was covering the wedding with a videographer whom I knew and worked with several times so I had some company out there :) <br />
<br />
The wedding had a gorgeous setting, it was on a hill overlooking various villages and smaller hills in the valley. Everything happened under a tent, both the ceremony & the reception.<br />
<br />
A tradition I've always found quite interesting in the Xhosa culture is when the couple (once married) walk around the grooms family homestead, its almost like they introducing her to everyone as the new makoti (married lady into the family). <br />
<br />
Traditional Xhosa weddings are awesome!<br />

<br />
And the winner is.... Rozel Gaskin!<br />
<br />
Congratulations!!!<br />
<br />
Rozel's friend Monica Willard Morrow nominated her & felt that she really deserved to be pampered. I've known Mrs G from functions where she done the catering/décor at, she's really a sweet lady & I'm proud to present her with her voucher as the winner! <br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who has entered, I wish I could give all the lovely ladies a voucher to be pampered but there could only be one winner. <br />

What an awesome bride, a bride who will definitely be invited to my wedding after her remark of "I'd love to see how you are on your wedding day" when I told her how relaxed and calm she looked lol. Bantu I met at the church moments before Bongi arrived, what a gentlemen! From the time that Bongi arrived I could feel the love they shared, the little smiles and giggles in between.<br />
<br />
It was an absolute pleasure capturing this lovely couples wedding day... I hope to one day be invited to capture a milestone... maybe a 50th anniversary? I'll leave that to you guys. Thanks for the confidence you had in me and I trust I've given you both memorable pictures to last a life time.<br />

They also held their reception at the same venue, the ceremony outside and the reception in the hall. With a stunning garden & awesome weather, we managed to capture some beautiful pictures which I hope they treasure for a life time. Cheers to many more smiling and happy year ahead Mr & Mrs Dlambewo :)<br />

But when we met Marus we all knew exactly why she was so inlove. They had known each other for less than 3 months and realised they had found their soul mates and this is how we ended up attending their beautiful wedding. This wedding was particularly special because whenever their eyes locked, they giggled like little teenagers which just showed how inlove they are. I took pictures at a wedding once and the bride and groom looked miles apart... it was the total opposite with these two love birds, they were definitely on the same page :)<br />
<br />
Initially I offered to cover Nereece's dressing session but the excitement of her getting married took over and I took pictures of all the proceedings *another cousin loving moment hehehe* <br />
<br />
When I though of writing a blog on their wedding, I thought "dorn I dono what to write" but because they have such a wonderful story I had to tell it.<br />

The amazing thing about traditional weddings is seeing the amount of respect between the two families and the honour that goes with it.<br />
<br />
Generally in the Xhosa culture the white wedding comes first and the traditional wedding comes either the next day or within the next week, depending on the family. Khanyi & Sibu had their white wedding a few days before. I've covered 3 traditional weddings prior to this particular one and every one of them were different, this one stood out for me. From the moment I saw Khanyi she was relaxed and when she walked out of the house where Sibu "fetched" her from, there was this instant glow on both of their faces when they saw each other. Too often the bride lets her nervous get to her and she freezes, not in this case, Khanyi was right at home. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately I never got to spend much time with the couple before or after their wedding but I would like to wish them a happy 6 month anniversary and may they continue to be as happy as they were on their big day :)<br />

I've done quite a few pre-ball shoots & this one was different, firstly because it was twins, secondly because their family came together to show their love for Tashe & Termaine. The two ladies looked stunning & always had a smile on their faces.<br />
<br />
All the best for the remainder of your matric year... have a blast but study hard & make everyone proud :)<br />

Adiel and I go back a bit where I've taken some pictures of his amazing work, you can have a look at his work here... <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Umvini-Floral-Design-Events-Management-Specialists/161301437287262?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Umvini-Floral-Design-Events-Management-Specialists/161301437287262?fref=ts</a> on their facebook page.<br />
<br />
Linda's first words to me as she walked in "Thank God my photographer is a lady, I was so worried" I've noticed that a lot though with my brides (and some of my grooms) they always want to know if I'll be covering the bride's dressing session because they refuse to have a man come into the room. I share the sentiments though on that... for when I do get married hahaha.<br />
<br />
Linda and Felix were both one of the most relaxed couples I've photographed, they were simple but all they asked for was beautiful memories and they told me to do whatever I want, they'll follow my instructions. This wedding did however teach me a lot about controlling a huge group of people, there were many, MANY people at this wedding. But all is well that ends well... Below are some pictures from the Eleblu wedding...<br />
