I’m not good with words ( which is why i choose to explain life through the lens ) but my wife is and I’m just going to now quote from the note she wrote travis&maike before the wedding as this most clearly expresses our thoughts and feeling towards these friends of ours. oh and these images go beautifully with some Kings of Convenience playing in the background…seriously, go to PANDORA and just search them, click play, and once the music has started enjoy the images…
“HAPPY HAPPY you two lovies! oh boo. i SO wish we could be there to sob with you all (especially that hubby of mine, he’s gonna be a mess, poor thing!) wow. it’s gonna be the most beautiful wedding EVER i think. truly. i wish i could glow over every little detail of every little thing that makes up this glorious vision of today, the embodiment of the creativity, spark, inspiration, beauty, and the love of you two…most eminently…which is altogether now a most radient extension of HIM! you are HIS! just HIS! and it’s ALL TO KNOW HIM, period. and now you enter together in a most sacred idea of His..becoming one. it’s love some days and it’s definietly war some days! but it’s above and beyond and the best part and absolutely the most essential part is, it’s Him! this is his union and he will nurture it, perfectly. enjoy abudantly this celebration today, drink your fill! and know that we are thrilled for you, proud of you, and praising father with you! he did good, he did so good…”

Simple yet elegant location. Incredible photo’s…South Africa is an incredible country for a wedding, great weather and beautiful locations as perfectly captured in your images! If only I could afford to have you at our wedding in Poland, in August…. eh… Wow, Otto. Really, really beautiful work!!! You’ve inspired me today! Can you please do my wedding! I usually hate looking at wedding pictures, because they’re just so boring and every picture looks the same. I thought you really caption the full depths of this wedding and make it into a story actually. Well done! I love these effects! Love these, looks like so much fun! This wedding is so pretty and the couple is adorable! Did I mention that the photos are INCREDIBLE?! Very nice work! Most amazing photos I’ve ever seen!!!!! Feels like I know them just by looking at the photos! Well done cous!!!! i love this couple! and all the details. so beautifull. great work man. welovepictures–that DOES please me! You obviously have amazing taste seriously, all your work is amazing. Kirsten it may please you to know that we played badminton to smooth sounds of the Big Band Era, opened the dance-floor to both Iron and Wine & Talking Heads and danced the night away to The Smiths, Roxy Music,Beirut, The Decemberist’s and more Big Band Awesomeness! Chantal is right about it all. Thanks for sharing what you enjoyed about the feast of family and joy. It’s special for Maike and i to read. At the wedding at Cana Jesus kicked that party off by turning hundreds of liters of water into hundreds of liters of wine. At our wedding in South Africa the MC kicked that party off by announcing “open bar”. haha awesomeness love O… man I digressed, I wanted to tell Otto his pictures are The Bomb! But they brought back such beautiful memories, what with the suggestion of music and all, that I went completely off topic If you’ve ever imagined what the wedding, that Jesus attended, was like, being at this wedding would’ve given you a very good idea. we love this. <3 the Cana Family woh! you’re really good. this is some inspiring stuff here. thanks! Brilliant! I was already listening to my Indie station on Pandora and Ragged Wood by the Fleet Foxes came on and it was perfect…then I listened to a Kings of Convenience song for the last half of this post and loved it. Especially since that’s my favorite genre of music and this is an Indie wedding if I’ve ever seen one! You did an incredible job. I’m blessed to know you. WOW!!!This is amazing!!!You are the best photographer in the world!!! simply amazing. loved the colours. looked like a super-fun wedding to be at. keep it up, great job! all right. this is ridiculously AWESOME.
