If you have never been to Clarens, you are missing out on one of the most beautiful little town our country has to offer….and if you’re an art lover, even more so. Bennie and Haneke got engage here…fell in love with the place…and decided to have their biggest day here. From a photography point of […]
I danced with Leon and Chantal today…and they make one stunning couple….with all the moves. Chantal, the dance show you organized was hot-stuff….especially the one of you and Leon. For my regular visitors, wondering about the venue, it’s called Usambara and is located close to the Magaliesberg mountains. It’s a lovely venue for weddings with […]
On my way to Grasslands for JP and Tania’s wedding I realized that it was going to rain later in the afternoon. Most propably when we want to do the couple photo shoot. Rain in itself is not a problem…you just have to plan for it. So…I scouted the streets of Bethal for a suitable […]
I knew that this was going to be a perfect wedding the moment I saw Pelonomi today. The hair was set….make-up applied….the dress was beautiful….and she was glowing. Dayo was Mr handsome himself…and such a gentleman. I did’nt feel like a service provider but rather like one of the special guests. After a weeks of […]
Kleinkaap is a beautiful wedding venue in the heart of Centurion. With it’s typical Cape Dutch architecture and peaceful gardens, it was the ideal place for Etienne and Mariette’s big day. Typical to the cape weather, we had a massive thunder storm in the late afternoon. Luckily we decided to do the couple photo shoot […]
This was my first time at “Diep in die berg” and I’m in love with this venue. So many photo opportunities….so much character….so beautiful. I want more of this. Then again…I had a cooking hot couple that would make any odd venue look spectacular. Leslie and Anélle you two were stunning….may the love I saw […]
When a bride-to-be tells me she’s getting married at six o’clock in the evening…..I get nervous….and very inquisitive…”WHY?” Look…I can handle my self even when it’s pitch black dark…middle of the night stuff….I have the right gear to do it, but I prefer to work mostly with natural light. “Because the sun goes down at […]
Today was a beautiful day. Blue skies mixed with cloudy weather and thunder in the distance at times…..lots and lots of drama in the skies. Majestic black beasts pulling an antique stage coach. An old willow tree in the middle of nowhere…grass fields as far as the eye can see. Add to this a lovely […]
This is Phill and Odette’s biggest day….and I was so fortunate to be a big part of it. The pre-bridal shoot and part of the couple shoot was done at the “Big Five Guesthouse” in Witbank. The wedding itself took place at “Del Amor”.
Today was a perfect day. We had sunny weather….a beautiful horse….a magnificent chapel…a handsome groom and a lovely bride. What more could I ask for to make great images with? In my opinion, weddings don’t come more perfect than this. JP and Marlé….you two were stunning…stunning…stunning. For all the aspiring brides out there, I can […]
It was cold…and wet…and rainy….all day long. But despite this, we had a great wedding. Dewald and Anandé are such an eazy-going couple and so beautiful to photograph, it couldn’t be any other way…no matter what the conditions. Dewald and Anandé, I just know you two are going to have a great life together…enjoy every […]
I’m sure some of you wondered why I had a post called “Secret Wedding Album“? Well, here’s the story: A Year ago, when Stefan and Elriette got married, I didn’t make the coffee table type albums. So, back then the albums weren’t part of my standard wedding packages. Since then I have invested time and […]
This is Ben and Rika’s wedding album. …the one with the cool couple…the hot dress…and the old car. Let me know what you think.
Pieter and Anoesjka did things a bit differently. Instead of the normal reception at the end of the wedding day, they had a small intimate lunch with some close family members just after the morning church ceremony. After that we had a lengthy, but fun, photo shoot…all over Middelburg. Thanks you two for giving me […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
