Another important part of our February trip to Africa was a
wedding booking in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. The
happy couple were Sizwile who is Zimbabwean and Gathoni who is Kenyan. Although a little apprehensive about
photographing in Zimbabwe (we didn't want to be seen as British media) the
wedding was planned and executed to perfection and in all seriousness we could have been
photographing in Cambridge! Zimbabwe is a country riddled with problems so we didn't expect to get away without encountering at least one. Our major problem was that the
bride's parent's flight was cancelled by Air Zimbabwe on the night before the
wedding spreading mild panic throughout the
wedding party (the
groom was so nervous he fell asleep). All was ok and the parents arrived within two hours of the
wedding ceremony!
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and felt as much a part of the evening celebrations (and drinking) as anyone else so we got some rather interesting angles during the conga dancing towards the end of the night... enough said! Here are our favourite images:
