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 […]

It’s been a few years since I worked in Witrivier.  Driving into Jatinga, I was just amazed at the beauty of this place…so natural…so elegant…so stylish. Talking about natural, elegant and stylish…That’s also exactly how I would describe Gerrie and Danelle…and the whole bridal party…except maybe for “Griek”…he was something else. Gerrie and Danelle…you two […]

Mot mant people know about Tolderia . Even my good friend, Google, doesn’t have any information on it.  Yet, it is beautiful.  It has a huge overhang cliff under which the ceremony took place.  It has massive waterfalls and breathtaking greenery.  It has an impressive dam and mysterious woods.  If I can make a prediction: […]

André’s family are from South Africa and Jamie’s family are originally from Zimbabwe.  They work and live in Bermuda, but wanted an African wedding….in style. One of the many things that impressed me about this wedding was that both families, and some close friends, got together a couple of days before the wedding to properly […]

The ceremony was emotionally loaded….just the way I […]

This is one of my favorite venues.  Oakfield Farm has it all….large beautiful gardens….two stunning chapels….horses….and the best service I have seen. But that is not what this post is really about….it’s about a super cool guy and his super amazing girl.  Together they are magic…magic to all around them. JM and Lourika; always stay […]
