Jacobus, Elaine and the 4 | Family | Gold Reef City
Oh my hat, the twins are the CUTEST! I had loads of fun with the Geldenhuys family at Gold Reef City!
How gorgeous are these people? Elaine asked me to capture beautiful family portraits for her and she really wanted fun and colourful photos…so we went to Gold Reef City! I met them at Jacobus and Elaine at Desmond and Madelize’s wedding (Jacobus is Madelize’s brother) a few years ago, before the twins were born.
Having four kids and taking them to Gold Reef City is fun and somewhat of a daunting task. We managed quite well! All we had to do was to keep to small ones happy, and then the grownups were happy. Weel, Luche is not a grownup yet, but she had to play along, and she loved going on the smaller rides with her sisters! We ended with some “grownup” fun rides with Luche, the eldest, because we had to keep her “fun-ride” tank full as well. Elaine says Luche is little adrenaline junky, like her. She really wanted to go on the meanest and baddest rides, but I must say, going in the week to Gold Reef City isn’t the best time to go to have fun on the rides. It’s beneficial to go in the week for family photos, because there is way less people, but if you want to go on the big rides you have to wait until there is enough people to go on the ride…not so great when there isn’t a lot of people.
I even went on one ride…but I wasn’t allowed to take my camera so I don’t have evidence of my ride on the Jozi Express!
The highlight for me was at the end, just before we exited the park. I got the twins to pose and hug and my heart melted!!
I have two little ones of of my own and I know how much love you can have for someone…but GEAPERS…I think these twins might just be the CUTEST on the planet…period!
Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!

Gizelle and Raiden | Matric Farewell | Gold Reef City
Raiden and Gizelle’s matric farewell shoot was fun-filled and so colourful! Just love playing with smoke grenades!
Raiden and Gizelle’s matric farewell was such a fun-filled and colourful day! And wow, Gizelle you looked absolutely stunning! And I just loved Raiden’s white suit and they truly complimented each other so well!
My new favourite toy is smoke grenades! I must say, it looks easy using a smoke grenade in the photos, but it gets interesting when the wind doesn’t play along. We did the creative shoot at Gold Reef City and I knew I couldn’t use the smoke grenades over there, so we did the smoke grenade photos at Greenfields Guest House in Alberton, on their little stoep on the roof. And here the wind sort-off twirled in many directions. The one moment its blowing in your face and then next moment it comes from behind…but hey…we got seriously cool results, and luckily we had 2 smoke grenades to play with!
At the end of the day I did a few fashion shots with Gizelle and geapers….she is amazing in front of camera! Just look at the results! I must say my Godox AD200 with softbox helped a lot. I also used my Godox AD200 flash with Magnetmod Grid with 1/2 CTO gel when we did the creative shoot at Gold Reef City!
Gizelle’s makeup was done by Pretty Little Things!

A carnival of color {Des & Madelize's Gold Reef City e-session}
Des & Madelize's colorful engagement session at the Gold Reef City Theme Park is on my blog!
“I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me.” Roy Croft
From the first moment we met I fell in love with Des & Madelize. I must say, they are one of those "perfect" clients who barely speaks to you (they met me very briefly at the Oakfield Farm Bridal Expo in January) and her mom phoned me, says she likes what I do, and paid the deposit, no questions asked. Makes you feel good, I must say.
I loved every second of this shoot! Madelize from the start wanted to do their engagement shoot at Gold Reef City, and wow...I am so glad we did the shoot there! I just love the bursts of color around every corner!
Madelize aslo wanted to have a vintage look for the shoot and they pulled it off amazingly on the day with Des' suspenders and Madelize beautiful dress, which she bought from Retrospective.
I just loved the chemistry between these two in front of the camera, and I must say it makes my life easier as a photographer when I have clients who just loves to be in front of the camera!
I can't wait for their wedding in Dullstroom next weekend!
