So a few weeks back, Ash, Gren and myself hit Woodstock for their engagement shoot and take our lives in our hands. The good news is that we survive. Next thing I know and it’s wedding day. I walk into the room where Ash is getting ready and I’m confronted by 4 gorgeous bridesmaids all [...]
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 [...]
I ALWAYS leave ludicrously early for weddings simply because hold-ups, hijackings, burst tyres, emergency toilet runs and (since we live in Africa), lions, leopards, rhinos and so forth crossing the road do cause a bit of congestion on occasion. Like the truck that overturned en-route to Mofam and had us sitting eating biltong in a [...]
If you take the time to read some of the articles I’ve put onto my website I can absolutely guarantee you they’ll help you to put together a wedding that will lend itself to some really nice photographs. Now I don’t know if either Shirley or DW have ever read any of my articles, but [...]
I’m on a hiding second to none on this wedding. Horses, a quadbike, old barns, gravel roads, a bridesmaid called Mosquito (previously know as Muskiet) and an MC who was one of the first ever guests on Spies and Plessie. Add to that a group of family and friends who actually know how to ‘langarm’ [...]
A year ago, Wendy walked straight up to me at a wedding expo and said: ‘Hi, are you Warren?’ I took one look at her, crossed my fingers and said a silent prayer. Then I said: ‘yes, I am’ and she said, ‘good, I want to book you for December.’ I nearly did a double [...]
Aaaaah, another language-challenging wedding day. This time I had to haul out my very best Dutch to deal with the proceedings. Well, my best Afrikaans, and my best Dutch, because Stefan is from here and Bernice is from Holland. It all started with strawberries, and cheese & biscuits at Mooikelder where Bernice got ready (nice [...]
The first time I saw Tarryn she was about 3 years old with snot running out of her nose and a very dirty face. I seem to remember she had a pink dress on and was playing with her cousins on the side of the road. The next time I saw Tarryn the snot was [...]
When I was shooting Herman and Marilet’s wedding I mistakenly took a shot that caught me photographing Marilet in the mirror. I thought to myself: ‘hey, that’s quite cool.’ So I took a few more. And now it’s become a tradition, where I take two or three self-portraits of the girls and myself as they’re [...]
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 [...]
