Divya & Tarun's Wedding | 27 December 2010

Below are a few pictures I took at Divya and Tarun's wedding

Divya's Mendi Night

I originally approached Mr Pullukattu to take school pictures of the students at his school "School Pictures". He then told me about Divya's wedding in December and asked if I do wedding portraits and if I'd be prepared to meet with his family about this special occasion. We then met a few Saturdays later and took some family pictures. I've been to a Mendi night before but not one like this, everything is symbolic. I noticed that Divya's younger sister Liz played a huge role in the whole occasion, infact in the wedding as a whole.

Below are some photo's of the event

And the winner is....

CAZLIA SHILOH RICHARDS!

Shannah Richards has won her daughter a full Christmas shoot in my studio to the value of R1800.00!!!

Infant to Toddler Competition

It all started off as a simple competition to get parents to enter their cuties into a competition where the winner will receive a photo shoot in my studio. The results and reaction to this has been overwhelming! I mean the cute little girl who is taking the lead has over 100 votes and I've had mothers, cousins and friends enter cute little ones from all over reaching from Kokstad to Cape Town! My cousin even entered my niece (Jordan) hehe

With just over 24 hours to go, anything is possible as Shannah (Cazlia's mom) told me, so she's still campaigning for her daughter.

The winner will be announced first thing Thursday morning on my photography fan page "Ayesha van Staaden Photography" as well as Twitter (aavanstaaden) and right here on my blog...

This is the 2nd of many more competitions to be held by Ayesha van Staaden Photography so keep your eyes right here and be the first to know :)

CJ's 2nd Birthday

I met the cutie pie a few months back and I was known as puppy until recently when he tried to pronounce my real name and now I'm Andrien lol.

When Lorenzo first told me about the plans for his birthday I was in, the thing about CJ is that he says the dornest things and has the most beautiful eyes... I could swear I'ma marry him one day... yeah yeah 20 years is huge lol.

Because of the number of events I had for the day I thought I wouldnt make it but I swore nothing would stop me.
