Brandon & Carmen | Wedding | Avianto Hotel and Venue
Wow, we got wet, really wet…but it was all worth it! We even had a rainbow to end off the couple shoot and also a baby reveal during the reception!
This year has been tough on so many levels. Covid and restrictions, and everything that went with it made it so stressful and difficult, but there is always a silver lining to every cloud. When we first made contact, Carmen said I have a stalker…I mean she had been following me very closely on social media! I really felt flattered (and I was smiling from ear to ear), and she said “Doesn’t matter what happens, but we MUST have you as our photographer!”. It means a lot to know through my images I am able to brighten up someone’s day! I always strive to give my clients exceptional images, but as authentic as possible…and that is what she wanted in a photographer! For me there is always a risk, because my clients must “connect” with me as a photographer, and but I also have to make the connection in return…and that is exactly what happened.
Wow, Brandon and Carmen, you are such super down-to-earth people and easy to work with…and the bond between the two of you, wow, that made the photos so freakin’ special!! I enjoyed every second of your wedding, and despite the crazy rain or the Covid regulations, your photos look amazing! And not just because it’s beautiful, but because of the love you have for each other, and due to love your family and friends have for you! There were so many in-between-special-moments that I literally smiled while preparing your images!
We had crazy rain, I mean serious rain…and Carmen was very reluctant to get her hair wet…but we just had to get those rain shots and we did!! You were so brave, and I remember I told Carmen that you can’t have a rainbow if there is no rain! And amazingly, we even had the privilege to end the couple shoot with a rainbow!
Thank you for trusting me with your photos, even after when we met up for coffee, and you had a fright because I had a cast on my left arm. I broke my left elbow really bad, and I had to get 2 screws in my arm. Luckily it happened on the 1st of Nov (yes, it was Voting Day, and I voted with a broken arm) and it had 3 weeks to heal…well up to a point that my cast could come off and I didn’t scare the whole wedding because the photographer arrived with a cast on his arm. I in fact captured 3 weddings in Nov and my arm held up quite nicely!
Enough about me. I have been capturing weddings since 2011 and a first at a wedding happened for me. Brandon and Carmen also had a Baby Reveal….because Carmen was 6 months pregnant at the time of the wedding….and it is a BOY! Congrats! My firstborn is also a boy, and its challenging but such a huge blessing…wait having kids is a challenge but the reward is INCREDIBLE!
Enjoy the photos, and please leave a comment for the couple on my blog! Perhaps I can add it in their album!

“Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times. And if things don't work out, just take another shot.” Ziad K. Abdelnour
Last year Jeandre and Bianca won the Oakfield Farm Expo prize and they got seriously cool deals for their wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how their wedding turned out. With competitions you run the risk of getting clients who doesn't really fit with your style and personality (yes, we need to connect otherwise you will remember in 50 years that you could have had a better relationship with your photographer...hehe).
They are such sweet souls and so much in love, and I am really privileged to photograph such a gorgeous couple inside and out! Shame, Bianca had a little scare moments before she had to walk down the aisle...her dress tore and her mom had to come to the rescue....well done Mom...you saved the day and Bianca will remember this for days to come! You were there when she grew up and you were there on her wedding day to save the day!
Wow, Avianto is such an amazing wedding venue and they look after their clients so well! I also love the new LOVE sign in the reception hall...just look at the decor photos and the photos of Jeandre and Bianca standing in front of the sign...so gorgeous!!
Well, enough said! I really enjoyed the wedding and party at the end was such a joy to capture! They had so much fun! Congrats again and may the Lord bless you and keep you safe in your marriage and in your walk together!

Wezo & Tammy's love story is live!
Wezo and Tammy's love story is live. Their wedding was held at Avianto Wedding Venue in Gauteng!
I am a work colleague of Wezo, and it was an absolute pleasure to be entrusted to capture his big day. He is such a warmhearted person, with a driven personality.
When I met Tammy, she completely overwhelmed me with her open heart and authentic personality, and love just oozes out of her heart! Tammy’s dress was made by Diamond Love, in Killarney Mall, and she definitely made a statement with her beautiful red Nine West shoes. Her ring was also made by American Swiss.
I had so much fun capturing their day! We ended up being a bit late…or rather very late for the ceremony, but I am sure all South Africans have some sense of African time…things like these create memories that lasts a lifetime.
It was a first time to do a wedding at Avianto Wedding Venue on my own, and Enes Kamanga did an awesome job! I have assisted weddings here before, and every time I am back here I get a sense of overwhelming beauty and majesty!
