In the last season we had some great opportunities to work in Europe and South Africa.  ZaraZoo covered no fewer than 11 weddings abroad, most of them in and around London.  We also shot a wedding in Nice, France!  The image above was taken in London in September last year, and won a bronze award at the recent profoto awards – It’s one of my all time favourites!

Andre and myself will again be in the UK to cover weddings for the english summer.  To date, we are covering 8 over there and counting…  If you live in the UK and are getting married in South Africa, why not arrange a free consultation with us in July and August.
