I recently met Jen on twitter. She’s a photographer form the States. A few weeks ago she tweeted: “I wonder if I’ll ever shoot in South Africa, would love to shoot there!” So I thought I’d help her out to make this dream come true! Because South Africa is such a great destination I believe every photographer should get an opportunity to shoot here! Don’t you think?
The past two weeks I’ve soking up some sun in the very hot and humid Dubai. The temperature ranged between 42 and 46 degrees Celsius! As most of you probably know by now, my parents live out here in the desert.
I found this photo amongst some wedding photos and I love it. To all of you reading this from outside South Africa: See, this is one of the reasons you should come and visit South Africa! And these photos make me excited about my and Iaan’s trip to Botswana this weekend. I’ll be photographing a bush lodge for a whole week.
After an amazing trip in Europe, I’m back home. The day before I left, I decided to leave my laptop at home and only take my camera. Sometimes I have to force myself to get away form the computer, because I think I’m addicted!
On my trip I had a good rest from all the demands of the [...]
Well this has to be the most beautiful, intimate shots I’ve ever gotten from an engagement shoot. I can’t stop staring at them. Ok, I know this sounds really vain, but hey, I’m aloud to be excited about my photos right??
Today I’ve made a very long list of “things to do”. I only have 2 days to finish sooo many things and I can hardly think how I’m going to get to all of it. But in the back of my head is a very exciting holiday with a friend of mine, that will take place from the 20th of May.. only 14 days to go! We’re going to Paris for 2 weeks and I can hardly wait. At the moment my mind is a mixture of “swine flu! AH!”, “what should I pack?” and “carrying that heavy camera all over the show..but there is no way it’s staying behind!”.
I also have 2 shoots in France that I’m really looking forward to! But you’ll have to wait till I come pack, because there is no editing taking place on this trip!
If you want to follow me on all the trips coming up and see a sneak peak of what’s up, follow me on twitter. It’s great for photographers, to share and learn and just bounce ideas of and to get to know people form all over the world.
The Grand Daddy Hotel is one of my favourite recently discover venues. It has the sense of modern elegance to it. Very urban, clean lines and super city chick! Love it!
On Thusrsday Iaan and I was so lucky to attend the little pink book launch at the Grand Daddy. It was packed with people from the wedding industry. Nikki, Stefan and the rest of the team did a suppurb job!
(The little pink book is a wedding directory guide that promotes quality service in the industry. They only have a limited amount of advertisers and it makes a great gift for a bride to be. Read more about the book on their blog.)
Lizelle helped me out for about 4 months, by assisting and editing. Soon I saw that this girl had much more to offer!! I decided to start advertising her as a second photographer and soon she had 10 weddings booked!
Today I realized that the world is waiting for no one. You either going to sit, try and get all your ducks in a row and then when you wake up see that you’re behind again or you just have to try and juggle all your balls while you’re running the race. Ok, now that [...]
Last year I became friends with Du Wayne and Zani. As most of you know, Du Wayne is also a wedding photographer and great at it! Zani on the other hand just became a mom! Besides being a full time mom, Zani is also a fashion designer and recently got her own blog. She does wedding dresses & formal dresses as well as anything else!
