This Andrews Memorial SDA wedding could simply be described as vibrant! Vibrant colours, vibrant people, vibrant smiles, vibrant atmosphere. Family and friends from two contrasting backgrounds gathered and united as one to witness two beautiful souls joined together in marriage. It was evident from the engagement session just how special and unique the bond was between Tash and Richie and today made it even more evident!

Together they emit a light that captivates you and draws you in. Their silly smiles and constant laughter is extremely contagious and you can’t help but smiling in admiration. Their energies are powerful and positive and most importantly filled with faith in God.

Today was a day to celebrate their love and that they did! The day saw the unity of two souls — determined to make the world a better place – as one!

I am delighted to have been able to witness this union and to have shared in the moment, both from behind my camera as well as a childhood friend of the groom. I wish for them peace, joy, love and happiness in their union! They are truly special and in their own unique way, they WILL make a difference in this world – together!

The ceremony took place at the Andrews Seventh Day Adventist Church, the perfect setting for space (one which they are quite used to) for exchanging their vows
