Now here’s something different! Welcome to Herman and Jonel’s connoisseur wedding at the very swish L’ Ermitage in Franschhoek. Different because Herman and Jonel decided to opt for 2 services and 2 receptions – the first for family, the second for friends. So yeeeees, it was a long day holding a camera that felt [...]
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 [...]
So this is how it all began. A few yonks back I met Herman and Marilet and shot their engagement. Time ticked on and the next thing I shot their wedding. Now to say that their wedding was somewhat of a party is a complete understatement. But I’ll leave out the sordid details (like the [...]
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 [...]
In about 90 years from now, when I’m old and grey, sitting on my stoep and sticking chicken bones into my pockets off my plate, I’m going to look back at all the weddings I ever shot and fondly remember all the little stories that went into each one. So while I still do have [...]
Take a look at these photos. Do you see any stress levels? I don’t. But let me tell you, stress levels at Dawie and Mien’s wedding were not just high, they were through the roof and into the stratosphere. Seriously so. Not because of wedding day nerves, but because Mien’s brother Carl had gone and [...]
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 [...]
Morgenhof Wine Estate in Stellenbosch is a lovely setting for a wedding. Vineyards, mountains, big pond, stunning architecture. You’d be forgiven for getting wrapped up in it all and forgetting yourself. Which is exactly what happened to me because when I arrived to shoot Fran, she’d become, um, two people. Which is fine if you’re [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
