Wedding | Karolina & Arno | Omujeve Lodge, Namibia – Part 2

Posted on Feb 22, 2012 | 0 comments 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...

Wedding | Karolina & Arno | Omujeve Lodge, Namibia – Part 1

Posted on Feb 20, 2012 | 0 comments 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...

Posted on Feb 13, 2012 | 3 comments Amie and Nick’s wedding, the wedding that almost didn’t happen because the officiant was nowhere to be found!

Posted on Feb 3, 2012 | 1 comment Part 2 of Anél and Hannes’s (I never know when there should be an “s” after an apostrophe when the word ends in an “s”) wedding photos. What a shoot it was indeed. We started 5 meters from the ceremony area at the dam and then moved to the vineyards and throughout the farm and then jumped back in the car and drove to the Afrikaans Taal Monument which was just around...

Wedding | Anél & Hannes | Picardie Guest Farm, Paarl – Part 1

Posted on Feb 3, 2012 | 5 comments I met Anél and Hannes last year April when I shot Anca and Jandré’s wedding just outside Pretoria. It’s always great when you shoot a couple who you met at another awesome couple’s wedding, because you just know that they’ll be just as great in front of the camera and boy oh boy was I surprised! These two were up for anything! The variety of shots and locations that we...

A girl 5 minutes before getting married

Posted on Jan 23, 2012 | 4 comments At almost every wedding you spot a moment before a bride is about to walk down the aisle when they go quiet. It’s a good quiet though and a quiet that has to be enjoyed because as I always say to brides, once you walk down the aisle and you blink your eyes it’s 9pm. It’s good to stop every now and again and just take everything in that’s happening around you! This was...

Wedding | Taryn & Greg | Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town – Part 2

Posted on Jan 13, 2012 | 5 comments Part 2 of Taryn and Greg’s wedding at Kirstenbosch and this is my favourite part! Typical of Cape Town this ‘summer’ it started looking like it was going to rain just as we finished the family shots and started with the couple shoot, instead we got a nice bit of cloud cover and soft light to play with. I have to admit that I love a Jewish wedding reception, they party and...

Engagement Shoot | Lauren & Jon | Noordhoek Beach, Cape Town

Posted on Jan 4, 2012 | 3 comments When you wake up for a shoot at 5am and look out the window and see what looks like rain and clouds and wind and weather that just begs you to phone the client and tell them that we’ll be better off shooting on another day…what do you actually end up doing. You go do the shoot! And even though it was freezing and the wind was howling I’m still very happy that we pushed through...

Posted on Dec 31, 2011 | 1 comment The weather at weddings this season has really been different.
