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 [...]
Whenever I drive out to shoot a wedding in Franschhoek it feels like I should include a pack horse and a few mules to help me get there. For some or other reason it just feels a long, long way away. In the case of Ernst and Aleksa’s wedding, Chamonix is on the other side [...]
How does one even begin to describe this wedding? ‘Oh wow’ would probably do the briefest trick. It’s actually quite difficult to describe it in words – it’s one of those ‘you had to be there’ weddings. It goes without saying of course that Sarah and Paul are terribly, terribly nice people. But that’s just [...]
Some people at a wedding are actually quite important. For example, the bride and groom are quite important or there wouldn’t be a wedding at all. The minister is also important, but his role is quite fleeting. The parents are also important (since generally speaking, they’re the one’s coughing up for the day’s proceedings, not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
