Cheslyn's surprise 31st birthday supper at Sevruga, Cape Town

It is really hard for me to keep surprises, I get so excited I want to share my findings and ideas with someone. Keeping Cheslyn's birthday supper a surprise was the hardest, because he is my love and every time I thought of something I wanted to tell him. I had so many different ideas going through my head, some I actually had to change because I gave too many hints, that he didn't even ask for, but I gave and he figured it out LOL. Throughout the month of May (his birthday month) I gave him little surprises, but this supper was the most difficult and fun as I had to make all the arrangements without him suspecting anything. For the entire day of his birthday he did not know that I invited friends to join us until...we collected over 20 cupcakes, that was a give away :-p The evening however was really fun, I took photo props with for the guests and they were such great sports in using them.

Sugar and Spice Photography vs Nicole Henriques Photography

As I am busing editing quite a few shoots and as these are ready to be delivered to my clients, they too are ready to be show cased. As you may have noticed, I am tagging some images with the Nicole Henriques Photography logo, that is because I am rebranding. I am changing the name of Sugar and Spice Photography to Nicole Henriques Photography. All things will stay the same with me behind the lens.

For the meantime I will still post and blog under Sugar and Spice Photography as I would like to launch my site only once it is complete. I trust that you will take this journey with me and continue to show me your support, as without all of you my business is nothing.

Continue to have a blessed weekend and remember ...

love, love, love ... Leigh-Rae and Celeste say, " I Do"

Last Saturday, 2 June 2012, one of my best friends' got married. As I was a guest, I tried to put my camera down and relax, but as you can see there was no chance of this. It was one of my best friends' getting married after all.

Celeste and I met in our 1st year at varsity (2003), I remember her sitting on the grass outside the Arts building at UCT, upper campus. I cannot recall the circumstances that led us to our first conversation (Zeleika probably comes in here some where), but I remember Celeste and her vibrant personality. This is one beautiful lady that always has a smile on her face. Throughout our time at varsity Celeste, Zeleika, Keenan and I were always together. We shared so many memories it still makes us laugh and cry when we think about them. Since varsity we have always tried to make time to get together and share in one anothers' lives. Because of the closeness we share, I got to meet Leigh-Rae.

Leigh-Rae is a special guy, when he tells the story of him and Celeste it was not love at first sight. He knew he wanted to get to know her more, but she did not think the same, this however did not stop Leigh, he perservered and today he has Celeste as his wife. *Virtual high-five Leigh*

The love between Celeste and Leigh is undeniable ... take a look for yourself.

Celeste and Leigh-Rae, I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. Remember that everything may not be okay today or tomorrow, but eventually it will be. Love you both! Mwah
