Wedding | Carmen & Reon | Bloemendal Wine Estate, Durbanville

Posted on May 18, 2012 | 1 comment I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing couple. I had to say that first, because Carmen and Reon were so relaxed (although a little nervous and excited) on their wedding day, however I think if they had the chance they would’ve jumped the gun and got married 4 hours earlier! Cape Town was blessed with one of those stunning late summer, early autumn days and add to that the view...

Photo Booth | Wedding | Phia & Crowther, Pretoria

Posted on May 13, 2012 | 2 comments Under a tree in a park in Pretoria, Phia and Crowther set up a screen, brought some crazy props and told their guests to have some fun. This is the result from their wedding photo booth. It was the first time that I saw a photo booth have a constant queue for just under an hour! These guys really got into it and the more they laughed the more people came to queue to get their own photo...

Wedding | Phia & Crowther | Jan Cilliers Park, Pretoria

Posted on May 7, 2012 | 8 comments I met Phia and Crowther last year at Anca and Jandré’s wedding in Pretoria and it wasn’t long after their wedding that I received an email from Phia saying that she wanted me to take her wedding photos. I think the wedding date changed 3 times so that we could find a weekend where I was able to travel up and they could get their guests all there as well. And the emails continued....

Wedding | Lauren & Jonty | Cafe Felix, Riebeek Kasteel

Posted on Apr 30, 2012 | 18 comments I can’t tell Jonty and Lauren’s story better than the way it was told on the scrolls that each guest got: Jonty and Lauren met in the mountains, now live by the sea. He was –  Waiter: noun (Plural Waiters) A man who serves people with food and drink in a restaurant. She Was – Watress: noun (Plural Waitresses) A woman who serves people with food and drink in a...

A boy and a girl getting ready for their wedding

Posted on Apr 17, 2012 | 5 comments I woke up on the morning of Jonty and Lauren’s wedding and outside I heard that subtle sound of raindrops falling from my reed covered stoep onto the jacuzzi below and I turned around in my bed to sleep a bit more when I shot up straight in my bed with eyes wide open. RAIN! It was raining. Now I don’t have a problem with rain on a wedding day. I actually think it creates a very...

Posted on Apr 12, 2012 | 1 comment After having overcast, windy and cold weather at their engagement shoot, Lauren and Jon were bound to have sunshine on their wedding.

I had so much fun working with Eloise Dreyer, Elmarie Bredell and the awesome guys from...

Meet Jill and Richard who tied the knot at Café Felix in Riebeek Kasteel on a hot day in March. There’s a calmness and a sense of peace and happiness that goes with all weddings that I’ve done in Riebeek, it’s like the valley has some magical...

Wedding | Melanie & Hansie | Groenrivier, Riebeek West

Posted on Mar 23, 2012 | 10 comments There are weddings with detail and then there are weddings with Detail! Melanie and Hansie definitely thought about a few little things to make the bigger picture at there wedding more complete. Hundreds of tea light candles, crocheted napkin holders and tie backs for the chairs and I loved the boxes that the guests received to take their wedding cup cake home in if they didn’t have it...

A girl with style about to get married

And I could never have guessed in a million years that I would enjoy it so much. Look out for Colleen and Jason (I got your name right this time!) and...

Wedding | Mia & Frank | Le Manoir de Brendel, Franschhoek

Posted on Mar 14, 2012 | 3 comments It’s always weird when you meet a bride and groom for the first time on their wedding day. What’s even more weird is when you meet the bride for the first time and she is in her knickers and then 10 minutes after that you meet the groom and he just got out of the shower and is wearing a towel. That’s when you know the ice is now broken and from there on you can relax, create...
