A lot of families and a lot of wedding couples ask me to shoot them on the beach – and the Blouberg beaches are a particular favourite. Which is hardly surprising I suppose since the view of Table Mountain in the distance is of course one of the most awesomely beautiful in the world. But [...]
So this is how it all began. A few yonks back I met Herman and Marilet and shot their engagement. Time ticked on and the next thing I shot their wedding. Now to say that their wedding was somewhat of a party is a complete understatement. But I’ll leave out the sordid details (like the [...]
The thing about engagement shoots is that you generally need to take your lead from the couple. If they want the beach, then off you go. The forrest, ditto, the mountain, you go. Garth and Lee wanted the city centre of Cape Town. Now I’m quite a brave chap and I (used to be able [...]
So I’m sitting and waiting for the phone to ring (as one does as a wedding photographer in Cape Town during the winter), when all of a sudden Dylan calls. ‘Howzit Warren, Dylan here. We’re on our way down from Secunda, can we do our engagement shoot? We’d like to include a waterfall if possible.’ [...]
So as the 2011 wedding season slowly starts to recede and everybody runs off to have babies and start families and all that sort of thing, it’s time to start looking ahead to the 2012 season and all the good stuff that it’s sure to bring. So let’s kick off with something a little different [...]
The one thing a lot of bride’s know about Izandi van Wyk is that she’s really passionate about weddings. That’s because she’s a very popular wedding planner that really does know a thing or two about putting a really good wedding day together. So I was really chuffed when she asked me to shoot her [...]
Taking photographs in a 50 knot South Easter is quite an interesting exercise. Firstly, trying to hold the camera still for long enough to simply take one photo is a bit of a challenge. Secondly, hair tends not really to stay in any one place for longer than a nanosecond. And thirdly, it’s quite tricky [...]
Way back in the day (and I’m talking 1 June 1795 here), a squadron of British warships anchored in Simon’s Bay (today known as False Bay) and the commander of the Dutch East India Company’s forces at the Cape, Col R.J. Gordon, ordered that a new battery, named “Kyk in de pot” Battery, should be [...]
What on earth must Jan van Riebeeck have thought back on 6 April 1652 as he first caught site of that great, grand old lady called Table Mountain. Let’s not beat around the bush here – Jan V was quite a hard bugger. Keel-hauling the odd sailor across Table Bay was quite the norm for [...]
If you’ve never heard of Gympie Street in Woodstock, Google it and I’m sure a certain picture will begin to emerge. It has a very interesting history behind it. Mainly of guns, gangs, murders – you know, just normal everyday blood and guts sort of stuff. I reckon some of the fellows who hang out [...]
