Awe & Elandi's winter safari {e-session}
Awe & Elandi's beautiful winter safari e-session is on my blog!
“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day.” – A. A. Milne
Awe and Elandi are such great people to be around with and the love Elandi has for Awe is contagious! They are so much in love that I didn't need to create moments to photograph, they just rocked the shoot!
I can't wait for their wedding at the Zebra Country Lodge in Pretoria later this year, and they asked that we do the engagement session there as well. We chose to do a cold early morning safari, but we ended up to be super early...even before the sun was up. The advantage was that the light was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Venue: Zebra Country Lodge
Enjoy the pics and do not hesitate to leave comment at the end!
Irene & David {e-session}
Irene & David's e-session are on the blog now!
"Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own." H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I just loved my time with Irene & David. We had this huge plan of doing the shoot in between pine trees, which are almost like a little forest just outside their estate. But we soon realised that it was located inside someone's yard and we had no access to it...oops. So I had to put my thinking cap on ones again, and I had to improvise! I love these moments which allows me to show one of my clients that I can think on my feet, which is so very important when strange things happen on your big day!
We still used the area in front of their estate, but I ended up shooting with the trees in the background! The results are epic, and Irene & David looked amazing on their engagement shoot! And Irene couldnt stop laughing. They are such easy going and fun people!
Irene also asked me to incorporate their two dogs in the pics and they added a cool element to shoot way at the end of the day!
I also played around in #Photoshop to create the double exposure shots, and they are definitively my favourite shots of the day! #shotoftheday
Can't wait for their wedding next year in the bushveld!

Charlotte & Darren's love story!
Charlotte & Darren's love story is live! What a wonderful small and intimate wedding at Shelanti Tea Gardens in Pretoria.
"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting" Ralph Waldo Emerson
Charlotte and Darren's small but very intimate wedding was held at Shelanti Tea Garden in Centurion! I just love this venue and the Chapel is just amazing. Charlotte's make-up was done by the Glam Squad, and they did such an amazing job! Her dress was from Vanilla in Centurion Mall.
The day was full of special moments, and it was a privilege to be a part of this wedding!
One special moment was Darren's wedding gift to Charlotte. He gave her a Mercedes GLA, and he just melted her heart even more with this incredible gift!
Venue & Flowers: Shelanti Tea Garden
Make-up: The Glam Squad
Wedding dress: Vanilla, Centurion Mall
Ivan & Maryke's love story begins here!
I cant wait to do the wedding for Ivan and Maryke! its going to be epic!
I am looking forward to the wedding of this amazingly beautiful couple!
Maryke and Ivan blossomed in front of the camera and I thoroughly enjoyed capturing their funky engagement shoot. Maryke's mom works at Roedean School South Africa and she organised that we can have the shoot at the school, which is such a beautiful venue. The gorgeous historic buildings, the lawns, the view of the Johannesburg General Hospital chimney in the background, and the majestic gardens makes this a stunning venue. The school was opened in 1903 and there is a lot of heritage here, and I believe that it meant a lot to Maryke to do this shoot at the school.
I definitely take my hat off for Maryke, because she had food poisoning or something on the day. Every 20min she had to go to the bathroom, and she still smiled and looked so beautifully. And Ivan looked great as well. It's always a challenge to capture photos of a photographer, which meant that I had to up my game. The amazing reality of this is it shows in the pictures! I believe this shoot came out amazing and that they will have a good taste of the pictures to come at their wedding day!
