Grandpa Desmond

I know how much Desmond’s grandpa means to him… check this pic he took and he says:

“This is my grandpa, he is 86 and my inspiration (besides Toni).

He was still building houses a year ago and my parents house on the west coast was his last one. Its scary visiting him and driving up his drive way and seeing him on the roof just chilling and hosing the gutters, he is mad! He was my only financial supporter in my sport as a child and I’m very grateful for this.

He is one of a few persons still alive in SA that fought in world war 2!! I thought it would be cool seeing him again in his uniform, made him feel very special and my grandma had this sparkle in her eyes when she saw him, sweet hay?”

The Selby

 

SO, Des and I are back in Cape Town… already shot a wedding and tried to catch up on sleep and enjoyed summer a little bit. So many times mentioned before, but the Selby inspires me so much… since I’m a journalist and a little bit of a photographer, cool things come together… the pix tell such awesome stories… more of that please.

Hochzeit / wedding Antonia Heil & Desmond Louw

A sleepless night at an airport can lead to Desmond’s productiveness – more of our wedding pictures on desmondlouw.co.za

Desmond and I are married! // Frisch verheiratet! // I am a wife.

Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Monaco

Yes… we’re so flippin lucky… we travelled through Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and Monaco to see this beautiful continent with sooo much to offer. We took a couple of shots… not too many to enjoy even more, capturing the moments more with our minds. More on Desmondlouw…. Happy weekend! x

 

 

 

 

Berlin

 

 

 

While I visited friends, Des went to check out Berlin and took some awesome black and white shots. More here.

Goethe & Co.

Germany is … busy. I went to see as many friends as possible in Hannover, Weimar and Jena and had awesome blast-from-the-past-times. My recommendation to you is to watch the new movie out “Goethe”. It is excellent and I was so fortunate to watch it in the Goethe-town Weimar. Also, Desmond went to Berlin and watched people there, check it out here.

home sweet home

So after a long time I am finally home. It’s only been one day with lovely weather (pretty unusual), good food and many walks with Des… on desmondlouw.co.za, he describes his impressions. Happy Sunday. x

 

 

 

wedding inspiration

 

So Des and I are hanging out in Doha (airport), had our most expensive coffee ever, watching people, preparing the coming weddings, meeting Germans, networking… hey, we might do 50/50 (European summer, SA summer) one day… and I am finally thinking about ideas for our own wedding and found the beautiful shot I took of Juliet. Remember Juliet and Mark’s wedding? I finally have holiday-feelings. x

Off to Europe.


Planned for so long, finally it’s happening. We are leaving South Africa… just for a couple of weeks, we’ll miss the summer that started here, but will enjoy all the family and friends over there…. Des, let’s hop on the plane. x
