There must be very few countries across the world that offer the variety of wedding settings that South Africa offers. There must be even fewer cities across the globe that offer what we do. Cape Town truly is a wedding venue heavyweight. By way of example, if we step away from the beach venues and [...]
Let me tell you something about Christiaan. He looks like a pretty decent guy. He even acts like a pretty decent guy. But I’m not so sure. You see, Christiaan was a lecturer at Stellenbosch. And uh-huh, Candice was a student at Stellenbosch. In Christiaan’s class. And soon, very soon, Candice was passing her course [...]
At school, I matriculated with an E in Maths. I didn’t do that much better at Science either. I was okay at History, below average at Art, and my Afrikaans was fair to mild. Every report I ever received said: ‘Warren must stop daydreaming and pay attention.’ I loved school, but I hated memorising what [...]
It’s my website and it’s my business, so for once I’m going to be unashamedly biased! But it’s for good reason. You see, Izandi and Du toit’s wedding holds a somewhat special place in my heart. Izandi and myself go back a bit. We first met at a wedding expo a few years back where [...]
As most people who visit my website know, I’m not exactly the most prolific of photographers when it comes to showing you decor at weddings. Here and there I might throw in a consolation table setting if the mood takes me. So for a change let’s depart with tradition to show you some of the [...]
I’ve heard a lot of really special speeches at weddings. I’ve seen mom’s cry, dad’s cry, bride’s give it horns and even groom’s end up in tears. A lot of times it’s goose-bump stuff and very humbling to hear people really just be themselves and speak from the heart. It’s often very powerful and I’m [...]
Nobody really wants it to rain at a wedding – probably least of all the photographer. A nice cool day with a bit of cloud around is always nice, but rain, nu-uh. But at Barbara and Jose’s wedding it was almost as if the clouds were conspiring to do the dirty. ‘Rings, first kiss, signing [...]
A while back I met a father who came to the studio to pick up his daughter after a shoot. He said to me: ‘wow, is this what you do?’ I mean, do you come in here everyday and do this stuff?’ I told him it was indeed what I did to which he responded: [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
