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 schizophrenic, but not if you consider yourself a fairly well-adjusted human being. So I covered my one eye, then my other, then I just walked out of the room and started the whole ‘hello I’m here’ thing all over again. But the same thing happened. There were two Fran’s in the room. Now listen, I never have any hectic partying the night before a wedding so I knew something was amiss here. But it wasn’t, because Fran has 1 x identical twin sister called Ashley. So, long story short – if you want all-out confusion at a wedding, throw twins into the mix and hand me a camera. The only way I would humanrightsfilmnetwork.org/accutane know who was who for the rest of the day was because one fine lass was in a wedding dress and the other wasn’t. They could have swopped attire at any stage of the evening and I would have been completely unaware. Okay but wait, the confusion doesn’t end there, because when I asked Gary (the groom) where he was getting changed he just said: ‘I dunno.’ What do you mean ‘I dunno?’ You’re getting married chap. You need a place to put on your gear my boy. Long story short again – Gary wasn’t particularly phased about where to dress, so you want to know what happened? Well, look at the photos and you’ll find out soon enough where Gary, Luke ‘aka ‘Plakkies’ (he forgot his wedding shoes at home) and Justin primed and preened themselves! Nice work boys, I REALLY like your style!
You were so much more than one expects from a photographer, Warren. An excellent photographer, commedian, strategist, organiser of many unruly people, with an eye for detail. Thank you for giving us all an awesome experience with your work. Thanks, too, to your wife who always knew whose handbag belonged to who. Oh, and your photographs are inspired.

Thank you for those amazing words Vanessa. Oh, and check your handbags, you never know what Helen might have taken.
These photos are absolutley maginificent!! Stunning job!
I’m speechless!
We’ve been sitting looking at all your pictures at my office and everyone is amazed. We wish there was more! We’ve exhausted your site.
I have worked with many photographers what with being a make-up artist, and you are simply the most dynamic.
Thank you for such a brilliant day! We had so much fun, and I agree with my mom, Helen is so attentive and helpful – I never got to thank her.
Can’t wait to see the rest.
Howzit Ashley! Glad you like them and believe me, there are a LOT more where those came from. Hopefully the next time I come up to Jo’burg to shoot a wedding we can get you to do the make-up – well, let’s hope so because you did a darned fine job on your sister.
AMAZING photos!! Wow! Well done!
Hi Warren!
These are just incredible! Gary and I can’t wait to get the CD and pour over the photos for hours! Thank you so much – you congratulated me for picking a photographer online… but I must congratulate you for being such an engaging and dynamic man – your photos are testament to you as a person.
Thanks to you and Helen for staying so late and working so hard! I really will never forget my wedding day. Thank you for capturing it so beautifully!
🙂
Warm regards,
Fran (The twin in the wedding dress….)
Hi Fran – now which one were you again? Oh, you were the one in the white dress, that’s right, now I remember. It’s an absolute pleasure my girl! I hope you enjoy your photos for many, many, many years to come.
Oh, Warren, You are a genius!! I have just got back from holiday and what a wonderful treat to see these AMAZING photos!!! One only gets one chance at capturing the magic of it all and you have done that tenfold for us……a huge big thank you! Thank you too for your major part in contributing to the light-heartedness and fun. Everybody just loved your approach – and the results are lots of natural laughter and smiles all round.
Many thanks once again.
