Kids at weddings. ah, what a wonderful subject. Not for the fainthearted I tell you. They’re just full of surprises – good surpises and very, very bad surprises. They’re either eliciting ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaaahs’ from your guests as they trundled unsteadily down the aisle, or they’re bringing the entire house down with ‘look mommy, that [...]
I’d like to take a moment to deviate for once on writing about weddings. Instead, I‘d like to scare the wits out any couple about to get married. The subject goes something like this: ‘honey, whooose your mamma?’
So, what’s driven me to write this article? Simple – my wedding couples. I consistently ask them, no, [...]
First time occurrences in life are huge. Like the first time you recognised your mother (although you probably don’t remember it), your first day at school, that first somewhat clumsy kiss, the first time you stood up for yourself, your first salary – you get the idea. Big moments. Wonderful moments. Unforgettable stuff (refer back [...]
Picture the scene. It’s 9.47pm. The wedding dinner is done and dusted, the speeches are still echoing in your ears, the First Dance is receding into the corridors of history and now it’s time for you to kick back, relax and let your hair down. You look across at your amazingly beautiful new bride and [...]
I’m scared. A Bachelor Party is one thing, but a Hen’s Party, now there’s another thing altogether. From what I can gather, it’s hardly for the fainthearted. There used to be a time when all the girls got together, dressed the bride-to-be in seriously odd clothing and made her eat a Lunch Bar out of [...]
I woke up the other night in a cold sweat from the very first nightmare about a wedding I have ever had. Had it been just any nightmare, I probably would have pulled up the duvet, tried to score an extra couples of inches of bed by nudging my wife to the right and just [...]
You ask your girlfriend to marry her, your mates ask you how you enjoyed your bachelor’s. It’s as simple as that. You’ll normally answer the question with a ‘humph,’ or a ’sjoe,’ or a low, almost inaudible whistle. Your wife-to-be will answer with a roll of her eyes and a very distinct sideways motioning of [...]
If you’ve never been to Val de Vie Polo and Wine Estate in Franschhoek, you really should go. I see a lot of venues week in and week out and believe me here, I expressed myself in some fairly eloquent language (accompanied by a low, long whistle) when I saw this place. It’s bloody outstanding. [...]
Okay men, here’s an article for you for a change and it’s got to do with your speech. Follow what I have to say here and you’ll have a lot of guests come up to you on your wedding day and pat you on the back. Look, like it or not, you have to make [...]
Okay, so hands up those of you who think mauve curtains and a paisley duvet cover are conducive to good wedding photographs wherever you may be getting ready. If you put your hand up, go and stand in the corner – now! Girls, no matter how beautiful the view overlooking the dam, or how breathtaking [...]
I’ve always marvelled at the capacities that children have. Take their capacity for innovation for instance. It’s amazing. Kids are supremely talented. They’re willing to take chances, to take risks, to live on the edge, to truly try and fly. If they don’t know how to do something, they’ll at least have a go at [...]
Your wedding day has come and gone and by all accounts it turned out a real cracker. Nice! So the next morning you hang up your wedding dress (which your new husband was having a lot of fun trying to get you out of last night before he slipped off the bed and onto his [...]

Fan-bloody-tastic! You’ve booked me as your wedding photographer! You’re happy, I’m happy and everything is just hunky dory! Well almost. You see, there is a bit of red tape. Not a lot, but a bit. And it does require some thinking on both [...]
