I met Katinka at the Stellenbosch University’s first year’s camp in 2003. After a few years in res, Katinka and I decided to move in together and share a flat. The highlight of every day was our “kitchen chat sessions” while we cooked some dinner. Those were fun times!

Since then Katinka and Cobus have been living in Johannesburg. A few months ago Katinka came down to Cape Town for a friend’s wedding. Cobus was the best man at the wedding and has some duties to attend to, so Iaan and envited Katinka for a drink. We picked her up and she was smiling from ear to ear.

In Cape Town the days in June, July and August are mostly cold and rainy and therefore I encourage my winter clients to bring umbrellas and gumboots. The gumboots make some fun photos as well as keep the bride’s feet nice and dry. Now who would like to walk in the mud with those gorgeous Jimmy Choo’s?

Mandy and Johan are both in the creative industry and for this one day they were in front of the camera, instead of calling the shots from behind. Thanks for being so much fun guys!

Karin & Jethro got married at Zorgvliet Estate in Stellenbosch on the 9th of May. They were really lucky to have great weather for their wedding. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. This was my first wedding at Zorgvliet and I enjoyed working on the Estate. I’d definitely recommend this to venue to brides. The guesthouse, chapel and reception area is all on one estate and it worked really well. The food was great and so was the staff.

I was very fortunate to shoot the first wedding at the famous One&Only Cape Town in the W&A Waterfront. Nadine is originally from Namibia and Ravi is a Cape Town boy. They had their wedding ceremony at the St Margaret Mary in Green Point. The church was really white and had great light! Any photographer’s dream. There after we left for the One&Only Cape Town, where I did all the other shots.

For the food lovers out there: the food was outstanding! You have to go and visit their restaurant maze, owned by Gordon Ramsay.

Marisa and I have been friends since primary school. I can hardly believe that she’s Mrs now. She was my first friend from school to get married. It was such a joy to photograph her day.

This week it’s been raining all week and I was pretty sure Saturday wasn’t going to be any different. I woke up and it was dark clouds everywhere…not the best for photographs, but never the less I decided to make the best of it and I grabbed some umbrellas. Loaded my car with jackets, boots and a studio light set incase it came poring down and we had to shoot inside. But at the end it wasn’t raining at all..just very dark and cloudy.

While I was shooting Liz’s portrait photos, my assistant pointed out that she alot like pink. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but Michelle was right. She has quite similar features. But much more glamorous! I loved her interesting head piece. I gave a cool element to the photos.

This wedding was the first one to taste my new 24-70mm 2.8F. Till now I’ve been shooting with the 24-105mm 4F. as an all rounder, but I absolutely love this 2.8F! It makes a huge difference and I don’t know how I did it without this lens!

Ian & Liz have been living in the UK for quite some time now, but when it came to their big day there was no place like home! Liz and Ian met me a few months ago when they came over to plan their wedding day. With the help of wedding co-ordinator Michelle (form Allee Bleue) everything worked out perfectly.The wedding ceremony was held in a little stone church in Villiersdorp. The church looked brand new, but the minister explained to me that it has burned down 3 times before! They just rebuild it and was adding more to the building as they can afford it. The ceremony was opened by an African Choir and that african voice inside of me was touched. The choir was all the way form Guguleto a township close to Cape Town. The choir preforms at weddings and other events for charity. Loved it!

I’m definitely not good at telling jokes, to be honest I totally suck. As a result of this lack, I have to rely on the couple to bring the smiles to the party. With Hayley this was no problem! I don’t know if it was only the nerves or her bubbly personality, but as soon as I mentioned the words: “Hayley give me a smile…” She burst into giggles…SO sweet! It was such a pleasure doing your photos guys. I hope you enjoy these…

I had so much fun with these two! They were constantly laughing and enjoying everything on their day. Janine looked absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I loooved her veil. Classic and elegant! Her dress was made by her mom and I have to say what a great job she did. It fit Janine like a glove!

One afternoon I received a call from my friend, Izette, the owner Leipzig. She explained that a client booked them for their floral design and that Chauncey (the groom) was in South Africa for only one week and he had to organize his whole wedding before he went back to Germany. In their meeting, Izette asked him who their photographer was going to be. He said they were not going to have one!
