Love on a Construction Site – Sally + Tom

I do believe that Sally and Tom must be two of the most patient people in the world. Tom is an architect, and in my experience, patience is definitely required when dealing with builders. Sally teaches small children which definitely requires bucketloads of patience (who am I kidding? … oceanloads of patience would be a more apt description here) They are currently building their first home in London and are living in a construction site … more patience required. They have both run the comrades marathon a couple of times and anyone who would rather run as opposed to drive from Durban to Pietermartizberg certainly has patience with a captial P. But the thing that makes them the most patient to me is the fact that we shot this ages ago and they haven’t once given me the ol nudge nudge email. Thanks guys!!! You rock.

After all of that you may understand the concept for this shoot. It was simple really ….. Love on a Construction Site …. (with a cute pink dress and a pink hard hat)

Huge thanks to Di Smith for letting us use their new home. I really appreciate it.

    I should definitely keep your hat on for the wedding Tom! I would have been more impressed if you had worn the pink one. Perhaps I’ll buy you one for Christmas to wear in Stoke Newington. Sally as always looks gorgeous. At last three pretty faces in the family( Son No1’s Wife being another plus my Granddaughter Chloe)
    Sally, take this as a warning your whole life could be spent on a building site. It isn’t too late to change your mind!!!!! Not sure what you’ll do with the dress though!
    Fantastic photos X

    Sally & Tom what stunning pictures and so fitting. Tom isn’t your future wife looking incredible. We are so looking forward to your wedding and being part of your many happy years together.

Jacki, your creative talent to use lighting and angles really created magical shots! Who would of thought a building site could be so pretty! Thank you so much! We can’t wait to have you shoot our wedding day! Just 99 sleeps!

  27. […] Pretty in Pink Zimbali Wedding – Sally + Tom I know exactly why Tom fell in love with Sally ….. because if the colour pink could be turned into a human she would be it! Sally must be one of the sweetest people I have ever met! She is sweet in a girly kind of way. She giggles, likes pretty things, teaches small children and loves her Mom (ALOT). She spent a year saving up for a Rolex for Tom as she thought it only fitting that she buy him a present which equalled her beautiful engagement ring.Tom is an architect and likes clean lines and the English rugby team (he is a pom so it’s understandable)! He also loves Sally and running. Both of them are keen runners and have done the Comrades marathon together. They are so keen on running in fact that they named all the tables at their wedding after various marathons. Tom has a brilliant sense of humor – Anyone who runs the comrades must have a brilliant sense of humor! He spoils Sally incredibly which must make for the fact that they have been living in a building site for a very long time now. Check out their engagement shoot pics here […]
