This little girl was definitely not impressed with the camera staring at her. First she stared back and then luckily later on she started smiling :) She’s such a cutie pie!
Today I’m introducing to you my lovely PA Candice and her husband Eugene. These who have been married for a few years, but still so in love! At first this shoot was surpose to be a shoot on the beach. The car was packed with props and ideas and when we arrived at the beach the wind was howling like crazy! So we turned around and came back to Stellenbosch. Even though the beach didn’t work out I’m sooo happy we could still catch the gorgeous sunset light. My absolute favourite to shoot in!
Adel & Ernst live just around the corner from me. Last week they asked me to do a shoot of their family and so we had some fun around their house.
Note to self: When photographing kids, they hardly ever do what you want them to do, so just go with the flow and shoot… :) The natural ones are the best anyway :)
Iaan and I are very honored to be featured on Southern Wedding’s today and that’s why I thought it might be a good idea to finally write a post to all the people who made the day possible.
This blog post is a massive hug, kiss and billboard sized THANK YOU to all the fabulous people who helped out at our wedding and made it an absolute dream come true! All of you have made such a great effort to make it my and iaan’s best day ever and you definitely did it!
Today I bring to you Anne-Lise & Riaan’s wedding, a very funky couple from Johannesburg :) While chatting to her via email, I realize Anne-Lise is the department head for photography at The Open Window School of Visual Communication in Johannesburg. So now you’re probably thinking what I thought, no pressure!!
Anne-Lise looked like a dream! Her dress and shoes were to die for! And a huge hand of applause for Anne-Lise’s mom for making that absolutely gorgeous dress!
On the 17th of Decemeber I shot Sarah & Johan’s wedding and the morning of the 18th, iaan and I flew to Nelspruit, Mpumalanga to shoot Alta & Christie’s wedding. Christie picked us up at the airport and we drove to Kaapse Hoop, a small village at the top of the mountain, with a very interesting history.
Just by the sounds of her emails I knew she was going to be a sweetheart. And I was right. Lila is a total sweetie! I met Lila and her fiance for their engagement shoot at her parent’s home in De Zalze. We drove around the estate and picked a few fun places to shoot. The couple are both involved with winemaking, so they bought some grapes along for the shoot. I’ve never seen such big bunches in my life!!
Iaan and I have always wanted a live band at our wedding, but when it came to choosing a band, it was not that easy. My music preferences and iaan’s are worlds apart. However, we both love something fun, funky and relaxed and that’s exactly the vibe we wanted to create at the wedding. One day we were at a function and we heard the sounds of Manouche. I looked at iaan and we both thought the same thing! We found them!
Manouche is a group of musicians with, as they call it, a Gypsy Jazz style. I love how “different” they are :)
Sarah and Johan’s wedding took place at Atlantic Beach Resort in Melkbosstrand. Melkbos has the most beautiful view of Table Mountain. That evening we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset too :) We took their portraits on a little beach close by. They even organised a horse to be incorporated in the photos :)
André and Monique are the two awesome people who organized my and iaan’s unforgettable honeymoon in Namibia. André is a businessman from Namibia and Monique a girl from Stellenbosch and they are getting married in March.
We met up with them at Thesen Islands in Knysna for a couple shoot. The perfect white picket fence mini town with the private beaches and little bridges made the perfect backdrop for a afternoon shoot. Thanks guys for being so much fun!
