Sweden was never on my lists to visit. I never thought of going that north, but when things changed. Cissy and Andy booked me for their wedding in Uppsala, a small town close to Stockholm, Sweden. On the one side I was a bit nervous, because I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure what a traditional Swedish wedding was like and my other concern was the language. What if I didn’t understand the guests? But on the other hand, I was super excited to see a place I knew nothing about.
The past few weeks have been an absolute journey! And all started with shooting a wedding in Sweden.
The day before the wedding, the couple invited me to join them, with all their guests, for a pre-dinner party at Cissy’s parents’ home in Uppsala. We enjoyed yummy Swedish meatballs and some other Swedish snacks while all [...]
I just created my online portfolio…have a look under the home page > Portfolio.
I just made the first add for The Pretty Blog, using some of my most favourite shots! I just had to share it :)
Some of you might remember the free wedding give away I had. Well, here it is. Petra & Barri got married in the Kalahari desert. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!
Petra and Barri told me about their wedding and their farm and what it was going to look like, but never did I imagine such an amazing experience!
These photos are part 2 of my recent wedding in Germany. A BIG thank you to Hendrik & Frauke for booking me for their wedding. And for making my dream of shooting international weddings a reality! It was an absolute privilege!
A few weeks ago iaan and I flew over to Münich, Germany to shoot Hendrik & Frauke’s wedding. The spring just arrived and Bavaria was covered in yellow flowers. The grass and trees looked like someone took a green paintbrush in Photoshop and swiped it over all the leaves. It was soooo beautiful!
Before the wedding, iaan and I met Hendrik & Frauke for a beer (becasue that’s how they do it in Germany) As they say, there is a first time for everything :)

It was like I was photographing something from a Coco Chanel movie! Annelize looked like a dream! The details were French inspired, very classic, with touches of blue and her dress and accessories all cream and black. Seriously stunning!
Annelize and I attended the same school and we grew up in the same town. Since school I didn’t see her much, but one day she mailed me for a quote and soon after booked me as her photographer, I was so excited. I knew this was going to be a super stylish. It’s just who she is. Beautiful, stylish, down to earth and so so humble! Henk you’re a super lucky man!
Anna & Dirk celebrated their wedding with friend and family from all around the world on the stunning Grand Provence Estate in Franschhoek.
I could probably tell you their proposal story, but how much better can you get than the bride telling you the story herself :)
I got all excited when Yolandé told me about her new baby: An online magazine called “Life, Love and Weddings”. If you’re a fan of beautiful things, this one is a must read! Yolandé and her team has been working on this for months and when she finally sent me the link I was blown away by the beautiful feeling they created through out the magazine. This winter issue is inspired by Estelle’s gorgeous farm wedding. It’s all about vintage, farm decor, yummy recipes, and stunning bridal inspiration. This magazine is viewable online for free and can also be ordered on cd if you have a slow connection :)
Here are a few pages with my photos and the cover shot…*happy dance*!!
A big thank you to Yolandé and her team for the professional manner in which they handeled my images and for the amazing service! You guys are going to go a long way!
