At Riaan and Shea’s wedding I didn’t wear a tie or a jacket….I was bare feet most of the time…wore short pants…and my shirt wasn’t tugged in.  At any other wedding I would have been frowned upon and considered as disrespectful. …but today I blended in beautifully….in fact, I was told by wify to dress […]

But…was I pleasantly surprised…First I walked into this stunning venue then I met Johan and Leonette and they were magic…easygoing, […]

Gideon is the strong silent type with the blue-steel look…Lee-Ann is the bubbly spontaneous type with the sexy smile.  Mix them together in a stunning venue like Memoire and you can have nothing less than magic. Gideon and Lee-Ann….thank you for letting me be part of your special day.  May you have a wonderful life […]

I just loooove African weddings.  They just know how to kick up a celebration. Bongi and Ntombi….you two were dynamite!!!  We met for the first time on the  wedding day, but from the word “go” you were joyful and full of fun. Thanks for letting me be part of your beautiful wedding at Brunfelsia

Check-out this lovely wedding of JC and Maritza at Rhino Lodge. The lodge is located in a fairly flat area with very few features to use from a photography point of view.  But if you add four crazy best men (with one a little bit more crazy the the other) with a little bit of […]

I always try to get a few sun-set photos at my weddings….if possible.  Some would say it’s old fashioned…or predictable…  Well, I just loooove them.  The rich colours…the drama…the rush. Off course, it really helps to have a stunning couple as well…. Ruan and Anina…I had a blast photographing your wedding. Enjoy the images.

This was my first wedding for the new season…and what a great start it was. It all happened on a farm, halfway between Bethal and Kriel…in the heart of Mpumalanga. Danie and Sonja looked stunning and had such easy going personalities….which made my job a breeze. Enjoy the inages.

These days, there are no more rules.  Rules such as: “You have to do the couple shoot after the ceremony“. Marcel and Jacqueline wanted as much of each other as possible, so we did a couple shoot before the ceremony and one after….and with all this time, we had so much more photo opportunities. Marcel […]

I have mentioned this a couple of times before on my blog, and I’ll probably say it again in future: Finding new and exiting locations to photograph your wedding clients is a constant challenge for us photographers.  You can use the trusted, safe and over used spots….but that’s boring….and no fun. So, before every local […]
