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 […]

I have never met Johan or Leonette before today. It’s not how I normally work, but things just turned out this way. So, going into this wedding, i was a bit nervous…not knowing “who”to expect. 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 […]

Zane and Viv live in London, but decided to have their big day her is sunny SA. They chose Oakfield Farm as their wedding venue…as I said before, one of my favorites. It was a beautiful ceremony, filled with emotion….but what got my heart racing was the couple shoot. Zane and Viv were so relaxed […]

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 wedding had it all… …the venue, L’ermitage, is situated in the beautiful Franschhoek right in the middle of a vineyard. …food that looked and tasted like something out of a classy French restaurant. …a couple that was beyond stunning. …a dress made for a queen, …super cool guests from all over the world. …and […]

Checkout Hans and Corli’s wedding album. It was a fine autumn afternoon at Memoire and an even finer wedding….elegant…stylish…beautiful….and I’m not even mentioning the stunning couple. Thanks Hans and Corli for letting me share in your greatest day. A big thanks also to my friend and hot-shot photographer, Mario Sales, for joining me on the […]

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 […]
