Remember Michan and Emile – they of the famed Jonkershoek ‘couch’ engagement shoot? Welcome to their wedding. So how did this wedding go off? Well, Michan and Emile decided to do the brave thing and have their photos taken before the actual service. It worked out brilliantly as we took a 45-minute trek around the [...]
Bless JP and Kirsten’s little hearts – they got married in Johannesburg which meant I had to climb onto a plane. I need you to know that I was exceptionally brave for the two hours it took to get there, not questioning whether or not the pilot knew what he was doing even once. When [...]
Meet Christiaan and Marine, all round good guys. I love shooting family portraits, I love the solitary feeling one gets when shooting a landscape at 5.00am in the morning, but nothing quite floats my boat like a day amongst good family and friends at a wedding. Everyone smiles, the groom pretends to be cool and [...]
I can speak English. I can speak Afrikaans. I can even speak a good dose of Xhosa. And I’m even starting to throw around a bit of French, Portuguese and Italian thanks to some of the couples I shoot and their diverse groups of families and friends. But here, for the first time ever at [...]
When I packed my gear for Marianne and Thomas’ wedding at Val d Or, I went about my normal routine, checking and double-checking I had everything I needed. batteries, cameras, lenses, flashes and so on and so on. Then I did something different. I packed 3 extra shirts. It was 10.00am and outside, the mercury [...]
Anne-Marie and Gys were married at the very beautiful Eben-Hauzer out in Paarl (they’re pretty much neighbours with Nederburg). Forget anything you’ve ever heard about My Big Fat Greek Wedding, because this was without a doubt, My Very Big Humungus Dutch Wedding. Yup, try a bridal retinue of 23 people all up at the alter [...]
Remember the guy who dropped his girlfriend into the water at their engagement shoot? Yes him – that guy. Well, he’s Brett, and that girl he dropped into the drink is Ali – and she’s now his wife. Well, it seems that Brett and Ali have a thing for water, because Neethlingshof has plenty of [...]
Whenever I sit down to write my take on the wedding I’ve just shot, I always re-write the thing about half a dozen times. It should be easy, but it’s not. Firstly, because it’s bloody easy to sound all gushy (which has about as much reading appeal as that in-flight magazine on SAA flights), and [...]
When it gets hot in Stellenbosch, it gets hot. Hot as in, stand under an oak tree and sweat a lot hot. This is the kind of hot that Charl and Mary ordered for their wedding day. Sweltering, blistering hot. But the staff at the beautiful Lanzerac Hotel were well-prepared and kindly handed out bottles [...]
I’m not normally all that short on words when it comes to writing. But I have to tell you, Bo and Craig’s wedding leaves me unsure of where to start, so let’s start at the beginning shall we. Firstly there was Bo, gorgeous Bo. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bride smile as much [...]
