Teaser! Michael and Elmarie | E-session | The Moors Castle

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love. Billy Graham

Elmarie really wanted a castle feel for their engagement shoot, so we almost went all the way to Clarens (there is a castle in Fouriesburg…I didn’t know), but she found a castle right here in Muldersdrift. The Moors Castle is a rather unique and stunning backdrop for any shoot and I just loved playing around getting some really cool creative shots for them!

Elmarie has a son with cerebral palsy and I really wanted her to bring him along, because I knew he means quite a lot to Elmarie and he is central in their decision to get married. Unfortunately their day turned out more crazy than what she expected (one of the reasons for this was that it was also Elmarie’s birthday the day of the shoot) and he couldn’t join for some of the photos.

I am really looking forward to their wedding in January, and being a storyteller, I can just imagine how amazing the stories will be to include her son in their wedding photos. I also want to meet him because he looks really cool in the photos she has shown me, and Elmarie told me that we are going to arrange for a particular day to meet each other…wow, I can’t wait!

Here’s a sneak peak from yesterday’s shoot! Enjoy!

Wynand van der Merwe

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
