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.
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 :)
I’ve never been to Rawsonville before Herman and Suretha’s wedding, but now I’ll a big fan of the place. Rawesonville is a small farming community, surrounded by vineyards and green countryside. Seriously worth a weekend visit!
Herman & Suretha’s wedding took place outside on the lawn of a venue called Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway. The details were touches of rustic and countryside elements. I loved the fun atmosphere of the reception!
Last year I had the privilege to shoot Cissy & Andy’s wedding in Sweden! After the wedding, the co-ordinator e-mailed me asking if they could use my photos for their wedding publication. Obviously I was ecstatic about it :)
Cissy just sent over the layout. Even though I have no idea what the article says, I’m happy to announce my photos have been published in Sweden :)
Some of you might remember Heinrich and Christelle from their engagement shoot. They are such a sweet couple! Their wedding took place on the 4th of December. Their wedding took place at Langverwagt a countryside estate close to Cape Town. The day was filled with laughter, love and forever after :)
It was my first wedding on the Eastern Coast of South Africa. Iaan and I arrived in PE and then it was me, him and Mr GPS. Luckily we found the little town at the coast, called Kenton on Sea. I’ve heard of it many times, but never been there myself. Kenton is very close to Steven’s heart as he spend almost all his holidays there as a young boy.
At first Iaan and I decided not to have a wedding video. To be 100% honest, most wedding videos just doesn’t appeal to me. But then I reconsidered 2 weeks before our wedding. I realized this day was going to be the one day I don’t want to miss a thing. I want to experience everything! And most of all I want something that can capture the emotion in motion. Photos do capture emotion, but in a totally different way. Photos are static, but the movement of a video is something totally different.
Kate from Wedding Concepts mailed me to to book me for a small intimate wedding, she called them “a cute couple”. She was 100% right! Rosina and Ansgar are soooo cute! They are so in love, giggled and laughed all the time. When Rosina walled down the aisle, Ansgar’s eyes filled up with tears and all that emotion just made me smile. It was incredibly special to be a part of!I hope you guys had a wonderful time in South Africa.
