A Rainy Wet Wedding at Netherwood in the Natal Midlands- Michelle and Kosie’s big day
I had a feeling that Michelle and Kosie’s wedding would be one of those that just flowed beautifully, with gorgeous light and no stress. When we woke up in the Midlands that morning it seemed that my predictions were right as the sun was shining brightly with only a few beautiful fluffy white clouds in a clear blue sky. As the day ticked on, so the clouds built up and became more grey and angry and then the unthinkable happened. The heavens opened and it POURED! The electricity went off, the mist rolled in and Michelle and Kosie’s little one got sick. Instead of freaking out Michelle shrugged her shoulders and grinned through the downpours. The crazy weather allowed for some dramatic shots and at the end of the day the most important thing of all was that they were marrying each other amongst their favorite people. It did eventually stop raining for long enough for us to nip out for a quick creative shoot. The light wasn’t perfect but hey …..Michelle and Kosies’s warm love for each other made up for the lack of sun. (and a gaggle of geese “passed by” which made me very happy!)
The man of the day …. the geese herder!!!!!!!!!!!
This shot may take a while to load if you have a slow internet connection … it’s my first animated gif! I do love a bit of silliness!
As I already mentioned in the title Kosie and Michelle’s wedding was held at Netherwood in the Midlands near Nottingham Road. It was my first time shooting there and I was really impressed with the light airy spaces and wonderful staff. If you are thinking about getting married in the Midlands I would definitely check them out!
Wishing you guys all the very best for a wonderful future together! It was really great to be a part of your special day! Thanks for picking me!!!!

Who says a rainy day wedding is a disaster? It certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of this gorgeous couple. Well done again Jacki for capturing the spirit of the day! And those geese were a gift!
