Allow me to explain something to you about the way I shoot weddings that not even my wife can come to grips with. When I shoot, two things happen very, very, very quickly. Firstly, my fingers move flatout all the time as a I change my shutter speeds and my aperture settings. Secondly, I think [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Herman and Marilet are getting married towards the middle of next month at the very scenic Mofam out in the Elgin Valley. A lot of you will remember that it’s also where I shot Rob and Nadia’s wedding. Anyway, I can tell you with complete confidence that Herman and Marilet weren’t feeling like the sharpest [...]
Tanya mailed me about 2 weeks before her wedding to ask if I was booked. As luck would have it, I wasn’t. I was really thrilled to be a part of their wedding which was a very small, intimate affair with only family at the wonderful Haute Cabriere in Franschhoek. The combination of fine food [...]
