Janine Oates Couture Fashion Shoot at Santa Paloma – updated

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

We’ve had a wonderfully exciting and busy day.  Firstly, Caval and Eugene’s engagement shoot, then a short break and off to Santa Paloma for Janine Oates‘ fashion shoot of her latest wedding dress designs.  Four models, beautiful dresses, a lot of organising and help form Madelene and Jacques (Santa Paloma) and beautiful make-up by Colleen made the perfect team for an unforgettable fashion shoot.  Thanks to all of you!  Hope we can do it again soon.  BTW – Girls in wedding dresses on a 4×4 Game Drive = Lots of laughter and Janine in damage control mode (with possibly a few heart attacks as well)!  Thanks for that one Jacques…

Venue of the Month – June 2010 – Santa Paloma

An abundance of wildlife also add to the atmosphere and the chances are that some Zebras might join you for the party…
