‘Dr D’ is in the house! So here’s the thing. Sometimes I get a bit mixed up simply because I think very quickly when I shoot. This can lead to moments of complete chaos. So for example, at Candice and Adrian’s wedding, I kept calling Adrian, um, Richard (and of course Adrian, being Adrian 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Now don’t get me wrong – Ryno, Anel and their guests are really happy people. And everyone is really chuffed that they got married. But jeepers, at this wedding if you so much as looked at somebody they burst into tears! I was having a field day out there in the hot Paternoster sun. First [...]
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 think Izandi has been watching to much youtube to be quite honest. Because the next thing it’s ceremony time and before we know it, the bestmen, followed by the bridesmaids come dancing down the aisle. Now normally this would have had me going: ‘okaaaaaaay, this could be interesting.’ But I was very pleasantly surprised [...]
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 [...]
