Wedding | Colleen and Jason | Crystal Towers and Nitida Wine Estate
Every once in a while you arrive at a wedding and you just get that feeling in your gut that today is going to be a great day. And then your socks get blown off because after your third, fourth, fifth wow moment of the day you stop counting and just hope that you have enough memory cards to keep on taking photos till the band packs up! All of what you’re about to witness down below is because the African Queen said “Howzit” to the China from Down Under and totally got his head in a spin and had him running to the bathroom...

read moreA girl with style about to get married
I’ve been itching to blog this wedding since the moment I shot it. There were so many wow moments but most importantly, from the moment I walked into the room where the girls were getting ready, I knew this was going to be a fun wedding. 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 their fantastic wedding coming to the blog tomorrow morning! ...
read moreWedding | Mia & Frank | Le Manoir de Brendel, Franschhoek
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 and capture their moments! And what moments these are! When Frank proposed to Mia he told her she can either have her wedding in South Africa the next...
read moreA girl and a boy got married in Franschhoek, South Africa
Meet Mia and Frank who got married at Le Manoir de Brendel in Franschhoek last week. Busy editing their wedding photos before they leave South Africa to go back home. I was only going to post a few of the photos of Mia dancing with her dad, but the others just begged to be posted as well! Their full post with some gorgeous golden hour shots is coming next week! ...
read moreWedding | Marianna & Martin | Constantia Uitsig, Cape Town
When I met Marianna and Martin a little under a year ago her opening line to me was “I’m a Bridezilla, I hope you’re prepared!” Not a bridezilla in the normal sense (is there actually a normal bridezilla?), but more that she knows exactly what she wants and that is all that she will accept. So with this in mind I still went ahead and said yes, I’ll do your wedding photos. I mean, what can go wrong, beautiful venue, fantastic couple and they’re getting married in February, the month of love and it’s...
read moreWedding | Karolina & Arno | Omujeve Lodge, Namibia – Part 2
You sometimes get blessed with the most amazing soft light at a wedding. When couples start worrying about clouds in the sky and impending thunderstorms, as a wedding photographer you get excited because all of a sudden the sky is a massive soft box diffusing all the direct sunlight you would have otherwise. This is part two of Karolina and Arno’s wedding in Namibia and it was fun, relaxed and it felt like we had all the time in the world as nothing could rush these two. Give them some blog love, because they deserve it! For Part 1...

Finally I get to post the wedding photos of Karolina and Arno and give them the blog loving that they deserve! If you ever saw that movie or read that book where a boy and a girl notice each other on a crowded London Underground train for a few days in a row, when a glance and a smile turn into a “good morning” and then the inevitable turn of events when the boy gets on train one morning and the girl is not there, leads them to make a date the next time they see each other on the train. If you watched that movie and thought to...
read moreWedding | Nick & Amy | South Hill Wine Estate, Elgin
Amie and Nick’s wedding, the wedding that almost didn’t happen because the officiant was nowhere to be found! Luckily, the amazing Emma, from South Hill in Elgin, called a backup and everything was back on track! I loved the details, those of you who have been following the blog for a while will know I get trigger happy when there are loads of details! Amie also did all the decor herself, modified her own shoes as well as her wedding dress. The dress was her mother’s dress and Amie got to work with a pair of scissors and...

I’m can not wait to blog this wedding!! I’ve been looking forward to it for almost a year and when the day for the big “I do” came this couple didn’t disappoint. Even when thick storm clouds started moving in and thunder roared in the background they just kept going and going and going! Meet Arno and Karolina who got hitched in Namibia and are giving me sleepless nights as I edit through the nearly 60GB of photos that I took at their wedding! Just a bit more patience, they’re coming soon! Oh yes, and...
