Champagne and Lace – Styled by SA Weddings

Some of the team from SA Weddings made the trip from Cape Town to Jozi for the Bridal Expo.

So Sean and I spent the day sampling Engedi’s coffee (nomnomnomnom), getting to know some… Continue reading

Sprite Uncontainable Hip Hop Festival

Kayla’s 21st in Jozi

Kayla is my cousin, and a regular Snapdragon Assistant. Her boyfriend, Ryan, and her two besties, Shane and Loren, headed into town eeeearly one winter morning for a portrait-shoot in celebration of Kayla’s 21st birthday, and a very sad farewell to Shane and Loren who will be moving to Chicago.  The four had a blast together, and the photos show it.  Afterwards we warmed up with delicious cappuccinos and breakfast at Vovo Telo.  By Leanne Williams.
