Wedding | 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 click...

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...

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 an...

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 the corner. They were the perfect couple to photograph and could go from being quite serious to hilariously funny in seconds! Dit was so lekker om...

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 shot at in their just under an hour couple shoot was amazing. And as soon as we got the shot Anél would jump back in my car and off we would go to the...
read moreWedding | Taryn & Greg | Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town – Part 2
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 celebrate like no one else can (and I’ve been at weddings where people party). So besides the fact that I thought for two days that I had a broken toe...

What a way to end off 2011! A perfect summer day, a wedding in Kirstenbosch gardens and a couple who went all out to make it a day that their guests won’t soon forget! Taryn and Greg got married (some said “finally!”) and they also caused the biggest blog post that I’ve ever done. So go get yourself a cup of tea while you wait for these to load, Part 2 of their wedding will be up a bit later. Thank you for being so accommodating, for letting us share in your special day and for making this the best job in the...

read moreWedding | Astrid & Jéan | Morgenhof, Stellenbosch – Part 1
Astrid and Jéan tied the knot at Morgenhof Wine Estate just outside of Stellenbosch. It was hot (finally a wedding where we saw a bit of sweat), seems like summer is finally starting to come to the Western Cape! The light was fantastic during the couple shoot and I loved the these two were up for anything…even walking into a part of the garden covered in plants! Loved the bird theme of the wedding decor and the wooden key rings were a great idea! Thank you for being such sports on your wedding day and I hope you enjoy your...
