My Passion

I have come to realize that photographing people gives me great joy and satisfaction. I love capturing the emotion and character of my clients or the connection and energy between loved ones at a wedding. By being spontaneous and relaxed, I am able to connect with my clients and put them at ease to reveal their sincere nature in my images.

My photographic style can be described as relaxed, fun, arty, contemporary and spontaneous. I also love to adopt a photo journalistic style if the situation allows it. In addition to this I enjoy experimenting with new ideas, funky poses and
creative lighting.

I try to explore this art form to the fullest by allowing myself to do all kinds of photography. This includes wedding-, studio-, lifestyle-, architecture-, corporate-, sport-, landscape- and fine art photography. By being so diverse, I am constantly challenged to learn new skills and techniques that can only improve me as a photographer.

My Work

I am a South African based professional photographer specializing in wedding, studio, and event photography. I take real pride in my work and will do everything in my power to meet my client's highest expectations. My aim is to produce the best quality products possible and to always behave professionally and with integrity, leaving my clients more than satisfied.

I have photographed weddings all over South Africa and consider no
location too far to travel. After photographing more than 250 weddings
in the past six years, I reckon myself well equipped to handle any unforeseen circumstance that could happen at your wedding. Whether it
be unfavorable weather conditions, difficult lighting situations or time constraints, I have seen it all and handled it. I use only professional equipment with sufficient backup in the unlikely event of a failure.

This site not only showcase my latest weddings but also provides useful information about my wedding photography service. If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kalahari & Nicolene

Friday, April 2, 2010

I met Nicolene only four days before the wedding to discuss the many photography details for the wedding day. Kalahari could not be there due to his work commitments, but we discussed him in detail…and I got very nervous.

When someone describes you and uses words like chopper pilot, police special forces, flight instructor, 6 foot 10….you should be cautious…very cautious. This is not someone you can make silly jokes with or boss around on his wedding day.

I was cautious going into this wedding….especially knowing that this guy, “Kalahari” has his Z-88 with him….he can shoot back.

So, I expected this mean, bombastic, difficult guy. I met Nicolene before and I knew I could charm her any day…but Kalahari was going to be tough. I expected the worse.

I have never been so wrong in my life. Kalahari was a push-over…one of the most easy-going guys I have worked with….and a smile that will blow your socks off.

Kalahari & Nicolene….you two rock. It was a privilege serving you on your big day….and thanks for not shooting back.
