Clinton and Elizabeth | Engagement shoot | Pretoria

Clinton and Elizabeth are sweet souls who love cars and each other. The Jacaranda trees proved to be a gorgeous backdrop for their engagement shoot!

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. William Shakespeare

Covid has made it very difficult for us all, but I feels good to be out there taking a few photos again.

Clinton and Elizabeth are sweet souls who love cars and each other. Elizabeth’ owns the VW Beetle and Clinton the Alfa Romeo, and they have this feud whose care is better. Even after the shoot their feud continued on Facebook. Hahaha, they make me laugh. This photo with both cars are so special because almost everything they wanted came together in one photo…purple Jacarandas, their cars and also their love for each other! Oh, man I love my job!

I really had fun during their engagement shoot. We decided to go to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, because the streets over there is fully covered in purple Jacarandas! What a wonderful display of colour! These two are so much in love and I can just see they can’t wait to tie the knot.

Covid19 definitely hasn’t made it very easy for us, but also not for the couples out there.

Enjoy the photos. I always try to do something different, so thank you Clinton and Liz for allowing me to be creative. You guys rock!

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!

Andre & Marlene becomes one {Wedding}

Andre & Marlene tie the knot. Their epic wedding photos.

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

Families are one of the most important things in this world, and Andre & Marlene's families are just amazing. From the engagement shoot to the wedding, I had the most amazing experiences of both their families, and now in front of God, their families have come together. It was such a privilege to photograph a part of their story, and it may have rained on the wedding day, but the blessing of the Lord are on your marriage and life! 

The rain shot was just amazing and sometimes you just wish that it rains to have shots like these! Enjoy the pictures and do not hesitate to leave a comment at the end!

Guest house: Delectus Manor, Pretoria

Venue: Bukra Wedding Venue
