Ashton had this really great idea! And I loved it. She wanted to surprise Darren with a couple shoot for his birthday. Everything was a complete surprise. Up to the point where I got out of the car with a bottle of bubbly for the birthday boy. On the morning of the shoot, the clouds were very [...]

Sarah dreamt of getting married in the winelands. Apparently she’s been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl. Everything had to be perfect. And so it was.

The decor was exceptional. The party, real fun! The food, divine. And the day, blessed. Despite all the intricate details that were planned exceptionally well, by Sarah and Anne Mann, the weather was the one thing they could not control. And as ‘luck’ would have it, it rained. Buckets and buckets came pouring down. But as they say, rain on your wedding day is a blessing. And so we believe it was :)

I feel that words cannot really describe this couple. But with the help of some photos, a slideshow (and only a few words), I’m going to try my very best to give you a glimpse of their story and who they are. Anneri is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met. She is beautiful. Inside and out. She loves pink and is a real girl! Pieter is a real gentleman. By the way he treats Anneri, it is obvious to everyone that he really loves her. They always smile. I know people love to be around them, because they are filled with positivity and joy. With their presence, they never fail to light up a room!

Last weekend was a very special one! Lots of excitement. Loads of happy tears and tons of happy dances. Many memories and an absolutely gorgeous bridal couple.

I almost fell off my chair when I saw this…I made the cover for Weddingstyle magazine in Gemany. Wow. Thank you so much! I’m so honored!! x

I really don’t have words. You have to watch this!

One of my favourite quotes is by Marianne Williamson. I first came across this quote about 5 years ago. Since then, it’s always been something that inspired me. It’s the kind of words that make you want you to go out there and make things happen! Follow your dreams. Go big. Totally fearless.

These words make me want to jump up and down. Do my happy dance. Write down all my goals and then start ticking them off. And then I can’t help but wonder, what keeps us from doing the things we really want to? or always wanted to do?

Something I’m very passionate about, is linking back to people I work with. Linking back to vendors and people I mention in my blog posts is in my mind a universal-unwritten-rule. This task of linking to everyone, has however created many headaches for bloggers, as it takes quite a bit of time. But today I have some amazing news. (Ok, now I sound like an infomercial, but seriously, this one is worth listening to :)

Yesterday I had such an amazing time shooting Sam and Selina’s wedding at the 12 Apostles Hotel in Cape Town. I met Sam and Selina on a Skype call a few weeks ago and from there all the correspondence happened via email. I was very curious to hear why they decided to get married in Cape Town, since they are both Australian and have never been to South Africa. Though the Skype chat, they explained that they were in love with the idea of getting married in South Africa, over looking the ocean and then having a whole month of honeymoon, touring a country they have never been to.
