Stelbe & Luca

What an honour being part of Stelbe & Lucas Quoin Rock surprise proposal shoot.  It was so exciting!  Sometimes we need to pinch ourselves when we realize what intimate moments we get to share in and capture.  These are once in a lifetime memories that can never be repeated, and that’s quite big deal for us.

Lucas surprise proposal was fabulously put together by the lovely Al Wood of Pure Local Events.  Stelbe thought her family was just coming on a little weekend trip to Cape Town and that she and Luca would be having dinner at Quoin Rock.  But Luca had other plans.  This would be the evening he would pop the question and ask Stelbe to be his wife!

We too had our part to act out in Stelbe and Lucas Quoin Rock surprise proposal shoot.  Sitting sipping bubbly and pretending to be reading magazines, with our cameras tucked in underneath us, we awaited their arrival in the whiskey room.

Luckily we could see everything reflected in the glass, and we could jump up at exactly the right moment.  Stelbe was completely taken by surprise, and her reaction was priceless!

What a beautiful venue Quoin Rock is.  Their new wedding venue is spectacular, and the setting is truly magnificent.  And when you have such an amazing couple in front of your lenses, who are literally floating on cloud nine, work is not a job!  Al had organized a couple of props for the couple too, and we had fun incorporating these in to a few of the shots.

Stelbe and Luca, you two are just perfect together.  We are so excited for you both starting out with this new chapter in your lives.  Thank you for the opportunity of documenting your Quoin Rock surprise proposal.  We loved making memories with you!
