Jax’s favorite Wedding pics of 2011
I just cannot believe that 2011 is nearly over!! Has anyone else out there noticed how ridiculously fast this year has gone??? It’s been a huge year for me on so many levels. I broke down with burn out at the beginning of the year, picked myself back up again. I stopped drinking alcohol for 9 months which gave birth to the fact that I am no longer a smoker. I stopped biting my nails. I traveled to Madagascar and Hong Kong. I got engaged with Stu. And I worked. I worked alot.
Looking through a years worth of images is quite a reflective process. Going through all of these I am floored by just how lucky I am to do a job that I love so very much. More so, I realise how incredibly lucky I am to have such awesome clients. I wouldn’t have been able to make these pictures without wonderful clients!!!
2012 promises to be a cracker. We start the year off with a wedding in the Karoo which I am really excited about, then we are back at Netherwood which is one of my favorite venues. After that we head up to Clarens to photograph the wedding of a Springbok rugby player and his lovely lady and then we jet off to India for a wedding in Goa (yaaaaaaay!!!) And that is all before the mid February! How exciting!
Thanks to everyone for everything and thanks to my friends and family for not disowning me due to my workaholic tendencies!!! (that’s the problem with doing a job you love … sometimes its hard to stop doing it!!!)

We are so privileged to have had you as the photographer at Duncan and Casey’s wedding and thank you so much for including some pics from that wonderful occasion. You are truly gifted, Jackie, and this is borne out by the selection of sumptuous photos that you have included here in your ‘best of’.’ Be warned though by what you begin your blog with – burnout at the start of the year. Guard against it happening to you again. God bless you in your work and long may you continue to produce such awesome work.
