This project was Alexa’s concept from sourcing the fabric, to working with the tailor to organising with the church and putting together an amazing team of creatives. I was lucky enough to be invited along on this joyous adventure.I love using colour and print in my images and the setting for the wedding was a visual feast. All I had to do was observe and document.I was inspired by street photographers like Vivian Maier and Bill Cunningham and with each shot I aimed to capture the essence of the wedding and the mix of traditional prints, colour and details.One of my favourite images from the street series is of the little girl in her pink and green outfit complete with white sandals. The juxtaposition of her Sunday best outfit colour blocked against the backdrop of the spaza shop.To compliment the wedding images and showcase the fabric, which was the start of this concept, we shot Javis and Thimna in an outdoor studio setup. The fabric itself is very detailed and has messages entwined into the print. Alexa and Alfred, the tailor, were very thoughtful when cutting and making the garments, creating moments on the collars and sleeves.
