I had such an awesome time photographing Rohan and Neruschke’s engagement session at Rosemary Hill Farm.

I have never had a client who booked 2 weddings with me at the same time. Rohan and his sister Charlene are both getting married this year, and I am truly honoured to be entrusted with capturing one family’s wedding memories.
Rohan and Nerushcke recently got engaged and they are getting married at the beautiful De La Mas Venue. And Charlene and George will get married at Galagos Wedding Venue, and I have yet to capture a wedding at both venues. I am super excited because I have been a guest to weddings at those venues and I have been wanting to capture a wedding there for while now! Their weddings will happen a month apart, and I believe it’s going to be a super special year for their parents. They are getting a son- and daughter-in-law!
Rohan and Nerushcke are such sweet souls, and they are so in love. They were super nervious, but they were such a joy to photograph! I really enjoyed having them in front of my camera, and wow...Nerushcke…you looked amazing in that dress from Cocoberry! And your makeup by Melissa Glam Bam was oh-so-stunning!
Enough said. Enjoy the photos and please give this post some love…leave a comment at the end!

Raymond and Christina are old friends of mine. We know each other from Varsity days, event before I was a photographer....wow...thats way back. One of our very cool memories at our wedding, which was 9 years ago, was when they gave us a very huge swimming towel as as wedding gift. Yes...it was huge...big enough for 2 people...and I just remember how the photographer screamed to "get that thing out of my photo"...yes it was super colorful as well...hehehe...
They are super passionate people and they have the most adorable 2 kids, Eben and Sophia. I did a lifestyle session with them are their home, and their kids were half awake when we started. I didn't plan their session in the kitchen on the floor but I had coffee with them, and we enjoyed coffee on the floor while the kids got to know me and got used to me. I know...most kids love me but when kids are half asleep they prefer their parents...hehehe...
Raymond is a building contractor and loves renovating homes, and recently decided to buy the home they are currently staying in. But he told me, when they bought the home there were so much work that needed to be done that the bank was reluctant to give them a loan. The redid the roof, moved walls, relocated windows...opened up the kitchen and made it super modern. It such a pretty home now and they did such an awesome job.
I love lifestyle sessions because I get to spend a few hours with people in their homes, doing their thing and preserving beautiful memories for them. You will see in the following photo, having 2 kids isn't for sissies...I mean he is feeding Eben and Sophia at the same time. :)
I also try to take photos of each child in their own room because that is where they feel safe and they relax the most for the photos. Just love Eben's room and I also loved to see how well he, as the older brother, played with his little sister. Precious. He is such a cool and awesome older brother.

I love bold and vibrant colours at weddings! I approached Simone from The Wedding Event to collaborate on a styled shoot with me. I wanted to use bold and vibrant colours, but also to use the Pantone Colour of the Year (2016, Rose Quarts and Serenity). Simone did most of the styling, and Tamyrin from Bespoke Blooms did the flowers arrangements and table settings! The amazing stationery was made by Rude Design and Trendy Paperworks. We used the beautiful Hertford Country Hotel as backdrop and Liezl was our model for the day. Liezl used to work for the Hotel at the time of the shoot, and she managed the wedding and event side of the Hotel. The wedding dress was Liezl's own dress, and the blush dress was from Lunar Clothing. Shandin Watson from Erin Smylie Hair and Makeup did her makeup and hair. The exquisite cake was made by Sweet Joy and Denver from Reload Media did the interviews and behind-the-scenes video.
Thank you all for participating in this shoot and I just loved how everything worked out in the end!
