Vanessa & Fritz | The Bridge, Muldersdrift | E-session

Brand and Vanessa is so much in love and it was so wonderful to see behind the camera. We did their e-session at the venue, The Bridge Muldersdrift, where they will tie the knot!

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.” —Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

They are so much in love, and it is so beautiful to see! We officially met at the engagement shoot because Brand's mom actually made first contact with me regarding wedding photos. So for the first few minutes we had to get accustomed to each other, but it was quick for them to relax in front of the camera.

That is why I recommend and love engagement shoots, because couples get to learn how to relax in front of the camera, and to learn how to forget about me and to enjoy the moment...that is when they are spontaneous and that is when they just blossom! Priceless memories!

Brand and Vanessa wanted to their engagement shoot at the venue they are getting married at, and I am glad! I loved it! I have not captured a wedding here before and I am so looking forward to their wedding in May! 

Venue: The Bridge, Muldersdrift

Lufuno's purple blessing {1st Birthday}

I just enjoyed doing this Smash-the-Cake 1st Birthday shoot for Lufuno. This baby is too cute for words!

Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. Having both is a blessing. Unknown

Isn't she cute? Lufuno wanted to do Smash-the-cake shoot for her daughter's 1st birthday, and the photos are adorable! I had my hands full though, because this little one didn't sit still for one moment, but I had a smile on my face through the entire shoot! We decided to do the shoot at Lufuno's house and with a little help from China Mall, we decorated their garage door and I think the results are amazing!
