Krzys and Nastasja | Engagement shoot | Askari Game Lodge

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. Maya Angelou

I have done an elephant shoot before it didn’t come close to the Elephant Experience at Askari Game Lodge. What an experience! Krzys and Nastasja, and myself, loved it so much and I will always remember this shoot!

You really get to be close to the animals, and that allowed me to create some really cool shots. I must say it’s quite intimidating standing so close to an elephant, but the elephant guides was nearby for in case something happens.

Krzys and Nastasja is such a down-to-earth couple and totally in love with each other! So it was super easy to photograph them in front of those beasts! They were also keen to pose creatively for me, and I am totally in love with the results!

I also recently entered into the ProWed Wedding Awards and two of their images received a reward!

Nastasja did her own makeup and her engagement ring belonged to her grandma, and has been given to her….so her ring is super important to her! And its sooooo pretty!

Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
