It’s always a challenge for us photographers to find interesting and unique places to photograph our wedding clients in. To make things even tougher, Secunda is not one of the most photo-friendly places. For Ben and Rika’s couple shoot, I went to town. Really…we went to town. But then again, with a cool couple like […]

Wow!…what a great wedding this was. And my couple was hot-hot-hot! This was probably the biggest wedding I have ever done…almost 500 guests….and that on a farm….in a tent. But make no mistake, the service and catering was just out of this world….on par with any of the big wedding venues that I often work […]
Less than a week ago I received a call from Roelien, asking about my availability for today. As it turned out I was free and agreed to photograph her and Willie’s wedding. Roelien mentioned to me that it was going to be a small intimate affair that shouldn’t take too long. Boy was I surprised […]
My standard albums have 20 double page spreads but I sometimes design a couple more just to give my clients a choice of pages to include in their album. However, with Henk and Chantal’s album I could’nt stop designing. There were just so many good images that could not be left out. Anyhow…here’s the pages […]
This is Carl and Maria’s wedding album. The final product will be my biggest, the Exclusive wedding album, which is a wopping 30 x 78 cm when opened. They will also receive two of my Brag books. This was such an easy album to design due mostly to the great images we made on the […]
I’ll be shooting Kobus and Madre’s wedding this coming Saturday. Today we did the e-session….on an bit short notice, if I may add. For those of you that do not know, an e-session is an engagement photo shoot with the couple before the wedding. Very often, a couple may require photos of themselves as part […]
Two days ago I got a few new toys. I don’t want to bore you non-photographers with technical details, but what it boils down to is that I can now take photographs in harsh sunlight and combine it with artificial flashlight. If done correctly, this can create a truly unique look to one’s images. Most […]
This is the pre-design of Edniel and Tammy’s wedding album. I shot their wedding two weeks ago.
I met Ashley about three weeks ago at Evander’s matric farewell and I was just dumbstruck at how beautiful her dress was. Later that evening I invited her to do a photo shoot with me…with that specific dress. When I made the shoot arrangements with Ashley’s mom, Linda, it came out that Ashley herself designed […]
He’s from England…she’s from Poland….they met in Africa. Today was Carl and Maria’s big day and I was so fortunate to photography this beautiful wedding. As part of the couple shoot we used a completely custom built American-style Hot-Rod…what a magnificent machine.
After almost three months without doing any weddings (winter) I kicked off the new season with Edniel and Tammy-Lou’s wedding. The muscles were a bit lazy in the beginning, but I soon warmed up and I had a blast. This was also only my second time shooting at the Koro-koro Safari Lodge…Secunda needs more of […]
This is Berndt and Ria on their great day. They decided to do things a bit differently….a late morning wedding….a lunch reception…followed by a late afternoon couple shoot.
What a pleasure it was to work on Martin and Christelle’s wedding album. Here are all the pages, including the cover, that I designed. Let me know what you think.
It’s been a while since I worked at Galagos, and today I was pleasantly surprised at just how beautiful this place is. And to really make my day, I had a fabulous couple. Martin and Christelle…you two were hot-stuff.
When I have so many good images to work with, I just can not stop designing album spreads. This could be one of my best albums to date.
When I was still in the engineering field, I use to work in the same building as Thiemo and Minette and often saw them in the hallways. When I saw them today, especially Minette, I was just blown away….this was one hot couple. When I started shooting them together, I soon realized why they are […]
I see a lot of weddings, but this church ceremony was a first for me. Such a simple idea, but so uniquee, so effective and so beautiful. Henri and Madelein’s wedding was held on a farm near Leandra….between the trees….under an open blue sky….I just loved it. By now, I’m quite use to “farmers” being […]
Marylin Monroe is not dead….and she is here in our valley…at Grasslands. For a few moments, I was completely dumbstruck…that’s how beautiful Audri looked when I entered the bridal suite for the pre-bridal shoot. I’m sure you will agree when you look at the images. Pieter and Audri’s wedding were once again one of those […]
This is Pieter and Audri’s (Marylin Monroe) wedding album. They opted for a Classic wedding album with 14 additional double page spreads.
