Wow, what a special and beautiful wedding. Wicus and Liesl had such an amazing day with family and friends, and the venue boasts an outdoor reception area under a massive tree! How magnificent!

“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.”-Henry Ward Beecher
Wicus and Liesl’s amazing wedding was held at the Deck at Tutuwedzo Lodge. I have shot weddings at amazing places before but this might be up there as one of the most beautiful. The reception was held under the most beautiful lit tree, with a rustic bar area around the base of the tree. It was a huge risk having the wedding outside, but what a reward when the risk paid off!
I think I have mentioned a few times on my blogs and feeds that I really love kids at weddings. I have 2 kids and I can’t imagine my life without my kids. Kids at weddings is such a huge joy for me, and really love adding their unique perspective to a wedding. They bring such innocence, joy and laughter and they almost always don’t know what is going on around them…I mean they don’t even someone is getting married. It was a first for me to have the wedding couple’s son as part of the wedding.
My highlight for the day was when Liesl walked down the aisle towards her soon-to-be-husband Wicus, and he had his son in his arms…Wow…what powerful a moment! I even got teary as well!
And these people know how to party! I always say that your brain is programmed to remember emotions (how you felt). You rarely remember in detail things that you see, unless you have a photographic memory. Thats why you need photo prints, albums and videos to remind you of how you felt. So its important at weddings to have amazing catering, music and spontaneous moments during the photo sessions. So when you have a killer party, you are sure to remember you had a super wedding….and Wicus and Liesl surely had a crazy cool party! The food, which was outdoor carts and tables with almost street food was super tasty! I just loved the Mexican taco stand where you could build your own taco…yum yum!
One very tearful moment at the wedding was when they paid tribute to Wicus’ sister who had passed away a few years ago….she would have been very proud to have seen Wicus and Liesl tying the knot!
Enough said about this beautiful wedding.

Yannick & Crystal | Wedding | Memoire Wedding Venue
Yannick and Crystal’s wedding at Memoire Wedding Venue was super special and emotional. And BEAUTIFUL! I mean, just look at Crystal in her Vonve Bridal dress…exquisite! and the decor…just stunning!

Wow, what a way to start 2019. The bar has been set quite high from early on. Yannick and Crystal’s wedding at Memoire Wedding Venue was super special and emotional. And BEAUTIFUL! I mean, just look at Crystal in her Vonve Bridal dress…exquisite! and the decor…just stunning!
Yannick is from the Congo and Crystal from SA, and they said their traditional “I-do’s” in the Congo last year. But like Yannick would say:” The God-part of the wedding is the most important” so they said “I-do’s” in SA late last year.
Memoire Wedding Venue recently did some upgrades to their main reception hall and it looks absolutely STUNNING! the back of the venue got the addition of glass doors which gives the venue incredible natural light and an open-airy-feel! And when you pair this with beautiful flowers from the Wedding Specialist, the place just exploded with beauty!
Ntombi from Extravaganza Weddings and Events planned their wedding so perfectly and wow…she is an absolute machine!
I enjoyed every second of their wedding, and Yannick and Crystal are so blessed to have so many special people close to them! My highlight of the day was the look on Yannick’s face when he saw his bride for the first time…he was completely flabbergasted!

Chris & Marike | Wedding | Moon & Sixpense
Chris and Marike celebrated their most precious day at the beautiful Moon & Sixpense Wedding Venue, and what a day it was!
Chris & Marike | Wedding | Moon & Sixpense
People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I am sure Chris gets this a lot. He is someone you don’t mess with…I mean he drives a seriously fast Suzuki Hyabusa, he is a policeman and he is 6 foot tall! But when you get to know him, and especially when he said the most amazing words about his bride Marike during the reception, then you get to see he has such a soft heart. Marike is also a force to be reckoned with, I mean she is a prosecutor by day…but once again…when you spend time with her you will be see that she is such a beautiful and sweet person with a soft heart. Wow, it’s amazing how love can bring two people together, and they surely looked so much in love during their special day.
They chose the Moon & Sixpense Wedding Venue as the backdrop for their wedding and what a great choice. The flowers and decor by Exquisite Flowers and Decor was simple yet very beautiful!
I just love it when there is so many personal elements at the wedding was done by themselves, such as the cake which was done by Marike’s mom, and the gifts which Marike made herself. Some of the jewellery Marike inherited from her mom, and the groomsmen’s bow-ties and suspenders they got from China Mall.
Marike’s makeup and hair looked amazing, well done Melinda De Wet from Frissk Beauty!
We all had fright when the weather forecast was hail for the day. but only had scattered showers during the day. I get excited when it rains because you can create super cool photos, but it rained during odd moments at the wedding: a little in the morning and then again during the ceremony, and especially when they were eating (like many would say…don’t interrupt a good meal). So for me to create a rain photo for the night-shot I asked two of the groomsmen to create rain for the photo…which was great fun and the photos looks surreal!

Chris & Marike | Engagement shoot | Maboneng Precinct
Wow, I just loved to capture Chris and Marike’s love for each other in the streets of Maboneng Precinct!

Marike told me that Chris’ “baby” is his Suzuki Hyabusa, and “bad-ass” is an understatement. That thing is monstrous. And to photograph his bike against the cool backdrop of Maboneng Precinct was such a joy!
I love stories, and I to tell stories through my photos is even better. Chris and Marike has a very interesting story. Chris is a policeman, and Marike a prosecutor…and many of us have met at church or in a club or coffee shop…but they have met in court. How crazy is that? Yup, love has a strange way of connecting us, and amazingly…we don’t fall in love with each other’s exterior (hmmmn, looks are important, and Marike most probably knocked Chris’ socks off) but we fall in love with what goes on our hearts. They both have tough exteriors….I mean you need one to work as a policeman in South Africa, and I can just imagine how tough you must be to be a prosecutor, yet they have such gentle souls.
I absolutely loved walking the streets with them capturing their love for each other! So beautiful!
Marike, your makeup by Melinda De Wet from Frissk Beauty was just flawless and you really looked beautiful!

I have been wishing and wishing for rain at a wedding, and it finally happened! I know it’s a strange thing to wish and pray for rain at a wedding, because it complicates matters, but the photos are next level during and after rain. The air is cleaner, and the light is more dramatic, and it surely didn’t disappoint during Ryan and Natalia’s wedding at the impressive Cradle Valley Guesthouse. Not many people can say they had a double rainbow at their wedding!
I also want to give a shout out to Sam from the venue. He should get a raise. He was such a great host and he looked after us so well, and he was always one step ahead, especially when it started raining! Well done!
Wow, Natalia looked absolutely stunning! And the love evident at the wedding was tangible, and everybody had such a great time! It was the longest I have been at a wedding and I enjoyed every second capturing their true love story!

Here’s a sneak peak from Wicus and Liesl’s amazing wedding this weekend at the amazing The Deck at Tutuwedzo Lodge. What a beautiful location for a wedding…wow…I mean the reception was held under the most beautiful lit up tree, with a rustic bar area around the base of the tree.
It was a first for me to have the wedding couple’s son as part of the wedding, but as many (and having 2 kids myself) would testify…kids make everything in life so colourful! The highlight for Wicus was when his 2 year-old son and soon-to-be wife walked down the isle…wow…what a powerful moment and I got teary as well during that moment!

Little Maddison | Lifestyle Session | the Smith family
I just loved capturing family portraits for the Smith family again, and with a new addition...Little Maddison!

I just love it when I get to photograph the same family, especially when there’s a new addition to the family. Life has continued and a year and a bit has gone by in the Smith family’s lives. And just check how much Ryan has grown, I mean he was the little baby in the previous photos (click here) and now he is a little boy. Little Maddison is the new addition to the family and she is so freakin cute! And Ryan and Maddison together is cute. Ryan loves his sister and the love was evident during the short time I was there. He also loves his new room, which was the spare room for guests, and it was the room in which we did the photos for the previous shoot. Something that hasn’t changed is their wild dogs…but I still love it because they created the coolest photos, Maybe I shouldn’t call them wild…but rather “dogs with character! oh boy…I had fun photographing the Smiths, and they are such gorgeous people…inside and out!
Thank you Robert and Kirsten for trusting me to capture follow-up photos of your family…I am privileged to see how their kids grow up.

#DASHwedding
I just knew when I finished Dane and Ashleigh’s engagement shoot, their wedding was going to be epic…and it was! And what a brilliant venue! It was my first Rosemary Hill Farm and it really felt as if I was capturing a wedding in a different country! Such a pretty backdrop to any wedding, and paired with great decor and food from Rosemary hill as well…wow, they really looked well after Dane and Ashleigh.
Ashleigh had the most amazing wedding gown from Enzoani with gorgeous details in the back, and her beautiful shoes from Anella Wedding Shoes complimented her so well! I really wanted her to wear her running shoes, because she and Dane are SERIOUS runners…I mean they both completed the IRONMAN this year! Impressive…so I actually swopped out one of Dane’s wedding shoes with a running shoe for the groom’s detail shots. If you are reading this and getting married…do yourself a favour and go to the Bridal Wardrobe and have a look…they stock the most amazing wedding gowns and wedding shoes!
Geraldi from Face by Geraldi did such a great job with the girl’s makeup. Just look at Ashleigh’s stunning makeup, she looked absolutely radiant!
Rosemary Hill Farm also did the decor’ flowers, but the beautiful flower bouquets were done by Wildflower Creations Decor.

Chris and Marike is tying the knot this month and we did an urban pre-wedding shoot (engagement shoot) in Maboneng for them to practise in front of my lens but also to create some super cool images. Maboneng has so much going on that it’s very easy to create cool images and be crazy creative at the same time.
I absolutely love how Chris and Marike treat each other and I could see Chris is madly in love with his bride-to-be! Marike, your makeup by Melinda De Wet from Frissk Beauty was just flawless and you really looked beautiful!
Chris is also crazy about his bike, a very powerful Suzuki Hayabusa…which at some point was the fastest road bike on the planet! So i had to create a few images with his bike!

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

Something that was evident at Ziegfried and Renee's wedding was the fact that you really get the feeling that they are good people at heart, and it was truly tangible in their love for each other but also in their family. It was a privilege to capture their wedding love story at River Place Lodge, and what a stunning setting for a wedding...and the food was absolutely amazing!
Renee had the most amazing wedding dress from Bride & Co and her dress was displayed using a wedding hanger from Wedding Hangers SA. Renee’s beautiful makeup was done by Flawless makeup by Donique. Her hair was done by EllaHair, and the simple yet beautiful decor was done by Bella Fiore. The stunning cupcakes and chocolate cake was done by Melissa Andrews and the cheese cake by The Cheese Shop.

Wow, I got very lucky with this shoot. Prebz was the winner of my photo competition, which I hosted recently, but I didn’t know I was going to have so much fun and that they are going to look this good…! Amazing!
I mostly host these competitions to attract new clients, and also just to have fun because I get to direct the shoot a little more compared to something I do for a client.
What I didn’t plan was the fact that Prebz got engaged shortly before I selected a winner, so this shoot doubled up as an engagement shoot…which was super awesome. It was a little funny when Prebz told me Shogan has proposed without a ring…so they brought a blow-up ring…which ended up being in the “ring shot”.
I really had fun doing this shoot. Prebz and Shogan are such easy people to photograph…and just look how gorgeous they are! And I must say, I have worked with lots of makeup people, but Arti (Instagram: @artyn88) are definitely one of the best I have worked with. His makeup is like pieces of art…I mean just look at Prebz’ incredible makeup.
Prebz wanted to do an urban shoot, so she booked an Airbnb apartment in the innercity of Johannesburg, in the Maboneng District, and what a find! This penthouse has the most amazing views of the city and the sun also didn’t disappoint…what a sunset over the city!
Prebz bought her beautiful dress at Forever New.

I met Hennie and Béhanke at the Admired in Africa #beInspired 2018 conference and they were one of the model couples for the last day's workshop. I just knew I had to do a photoshoot with them, and I really wanted to do the shoot at beautiful Shepstone Gardens...and amazingly it's the venue they really want to say their I-do's one day! Some call it coincidence or destiny...I call it an act of God. I just love it when I meet likeminded people who love Jesus as much as I do, and especially when their love is rooted in Him.
May your love always be rooted in Him!

Love rooted in Him | Winter Mini Session | Jhb Botanical Gardens
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ..." Eph 3:17b-18
Every now and then I have a crazy idea to create cool photos...well this was one of them.
I went past the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens one winter morning and saw the mist and said to myself I want to do a couple shoot there early one morning to catch the mist. I knew it will be cold, and it had to be, otherwise there will not be mist....well...I didn't know its going to be this cold. It was absolutely freezing....and I love how the mist and frost accentuates the fact that it's freezing cold!
Another thing I misjudged was that I thought the sun would rise at around 6am, but in fact it rose at 7am...so we ended up creating a few images before sunrise.
Tebogo and Lihle, thank you for embracing the cold with me! Your chemistry and love is sweet and may it be rooted in the One Above!
Enjoy the photos, and if you would like me to create photos of you showing your love and happiness....please head on over to my contact page and get in touch!

Wow, I really love how Wicus and Liesl's engagement shoot turned out! They are sweet and down-to-earth people, and I dont like those Facebook groups for newly engaged couples (Yes, I know I comment on them...but I keep hoping that someone will see me there)...but I found Liesl one of those groups. I also met them in person at Tertius and Monique's wedding, and they became my clients! Yeah for weddings and meeting new clients!
In any case, we did their shoot at the impressive Shepstone Gardens and I loved every minute of it! I just loved Liesl's stunning red dress!
I am looking forward to capturing their wedding later this year!
