Love in the Theatre – Martha + Sbu’s engagement shoot
When Martha and Sbu’s eyes met across a crowded nightclub their souls must have recognised something in each other that was more than just smoldering good looks. That fateful night marked the beginning of a love that has lasted despite long distances. A love that is rooted in a deep connection, a love that is going to be rooted in a marriage.
Martha and Sbu are both in medicine and they both work in hospitals. Martha is a pharmacist in Canada while Sbu is a Doctor in Durban.
It seemed obvious to me that their engagement shoot had to be done in a hospital and luckily for us Sbu had connections!
Thanks to both of you for trusting my vision and for such a fun afternoon. Dressing in scrubs was certainly a first for Tash and I!!!








And after getting out of our scrubs we headed outside the hospital building to take a few more conventional portraits!
