The ceremony went according to plan and as Eileen walked down the aisle, Lennard just could not hold back his tears anymore. He was overwhelmed with joy as he saw Eileen making her way to the front with her Mom and Dad by her side. The Pastor gave a great sermon and kept the service short so that there was enough time for Eileen and Lennard to share their vows to each other. After the signing of the register and the first kiss the sun came out for a great exit with showers of petals and laughter. We took the couple to a field close by, and everyone in the retinue did a great job in taking direction from us. As soon as we had finished with the bridal couple a mist started covering the mountain side and we all got into the barn for some refreshments. The Reception was so beautifully done with the Schunemann’s surname cut out behind the couple. I would like to thank Eileen and Lennard for allowing us to be part of such a great day in their lives!

The tent, that was set up was well laid out and there was not a cloud in the sky, giving this couple perfect weather. As midday approached I saw Keneilwe for the first time in this beautiful dress, dressed like a supermodel, ready for my shoot. I took them to the height of the hill to begin with the couple shoot. It was just endless mountains up there, as far as the eye could see. I battled a bit with the sun but eventually managed around it and still got some amazing shots. When we arrived back the festivities began with a dance from the house to the tent. All the maidens walked in front of the bride as the brides family walked behind. After the first procession came Duma and all the men dressed as warriors to impress the bride-to-be. There was dancing, singing and celebrations made with lots of ululating and cheers of excitement as the wedding festivities took place. A few pastors shared from the Word of God and some speeches were also shared by family members. After some photos were taken we were spoilt with a team that specialised in traditional dance and they gave us a fantastic show!

This wedding was definately one I will not forget as this couple definately had alot of chemistry and allowed me to be a part of such a special day! Thank you Duma and Keneilwe for allowing us to be a part of your amazing day and I wish you guys all the best in your future endeavors together!

The ceremony was beautifully done and the vows shared were just as special. During the creative we were a bit surprised that the local forest had been cut down but we took advantage of all the open space it gave us. The scenery was perfect for the style of shooting we were looking for. Ian and Helisha handled James and my directions very well. When we got back to reception the weather started to change and we were fortunate to have gotten such good weather during the creative shoot. The reception was wonderfully orchestrated as everything followed the itinerary as planned. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and we want to thank Ian and Helisha for allowing us to be a part of such a special day!

Rob seemed like a gracious and gentle soul that just adores Nicole. When Nicole walked down the aisle you could see that he had such love for his bride. The priest, that performed the service, did a profound job and before we knew that he had reached the end of the service we were preparing for the grande exit…

Lots of cheers were heard all around as Rob and Nicole walked through the rain of petals and everyone was excited for them! We made our way down to the Lake for some canapes’ and some drinks and I decided to shoot the family photos near the Lake. I had called the retinue for the creative and started the long trek across the dam where there was an open field. We popped the champagne and had lots of fun in the cold. The girls were very brave. Inside the forest I could see we were running out of light because the weather had changed again but I knew our cameras could handle the forest so we spent the next 35 minutes in the forest with just Rob and Nicole. They were so patient with us and I appreciated that alot. When we got to reception Haycroft never let us down with their beautiful decor and lighting inside the venue.

The tables were set out in rows which was so different on the usual round tables. The speeches shared were all heartfelt and had given us more background on the lives of Rob and Nicole’s family. There was a bit of roasting from Rob’s groomsmen but all was said in love with lots of laughs all around. I ended the night with a night shoot on the board walk. You could see Nicole was simply stunning! Thank you so much Rob and Nicole for entrusting your day into our care. We wish you only the best in your future endeavours!

Mark could not hold back his emotions when he saw Samantha make her grande entrance. You could see that he adored her! The ceremony was was beautifully performed by the local minister and we got to witness both Mark and Sam sharing their personal vows to each other. As mentioned before, the weather did change drastically but (from experience) we managed to get the creative with some lovely smoke bomb effects.

The reception was alot of fun and all the speakers had nothing bad to say about the couple and only spoke about how proud they were in making this big step in their lives together. The first dance was well rehearsed and we got to become part of a bigger family. I would like to thank Sam and Mark for allowing us to capture such a special day in their lives. We wish them only success in their future!

The priest did a great job in how he handled his sermon and how well he spoke. There was lots of wisdom shared about true marriage and God’s original design. After the signing of the register and a great first kiss we exited into a bright sun and the canapes were just calling our names. We cut the cake at the canapes and I could see how the guests were catching with each others lives. After the family photos were taken at the Chapel I took the Retinue to the south side of the estate and shot everyone on the open fields. The girls were super classy and just knew how to bring their A game! The guys were full of fun and listened to everything we asked of them. For the couple shoot I moved Taylor and Kerwin to the entrance and shot Taylor under the umbrella of trees and then I later moved them to the dam to get some intimate shots. The light at that time was just magical with so much contrast, boosting all my mid tones.

At the reception the retinue entered with a bang and dancing was enjoyed by all. We had a great MC, who was also a professional comedian, and he had everyone in hysterics! The speeches were all fantastically prepared and the couple was well spoken of. I would just like to thank Kerwin and Taylor for allowing us to capture such a special day and wish them only success in their future together!

We started off with the boys for a quick groom prep and then headed to Janine for some champagne popping and dancing.

Davids’s dad married them and it was a beautiful emotional ceremony.

While the guests enjoyed some good food we headed out to create in the beautiful gardens of Cranford.

We then headed to the reception for some good food, emotional speeches, the craziest bouquet toss I’ve ever experienced and some really great dancing.

Mr and Mrs Nyce thank you for letting us be part of your day! It was such a pleasure being able to capture these for you!

Bianca and Kyle were married at the awesome Shalwyn Wedding Venue in Camperdown and Bianca Looked absolutely amazing.

While Kayla headed to the boys I headed to the girls where there was lots of laughter and a very beautiful Bride who couldn’t wait to get to her groom!

After a beautiful ceremony in the forest, we headed to the cabbage fields for our creative.

We then headed to a huge party, with so much laughter and getting down on the dance floor.

Kyle and Bianca thank you for letting us be part of your day!

The church was filled to capacity and the bride arrived in a stunning Rolls Royce. Pure style! When Kerry entered the hall Brent could not hold back his tears as the day he has been dreaming of had finally arrived with his bride walking down the aisle to meet him. Brent met Kerry’s Dad half way and then lead Kerry the rest of the way down to the altar. The pastor gave a beautiful service and spoke well of Brent’s responsibilities and the true meaning of love. After the service had ended I took the bridal retinue to Ushaka for the creative. We had alot of fun together and everyone listened to what I had asked of them to do.

At the reception we were met with a choreographed dance, for the entrance, and everybody got into the dancing mood. I must say the groomsmen have got some moves! During the speeches Kerry’s brother was mentioned about him passing away and I could see that the entire room loved him. Brent’s dad changed the words of a worship song and played it for his daughter to bless them the best way he knows how. There was a live band playing at the reception and not long after the speeches were done we were cutting the cake, tossing the garter and bouquet and having a great time in the wedding march. This was definately a wedding to be remembered! I would like to thank Brent and Kerry for allowing us to capture such a special day in their lives and we wish them all the best in their future together!

The Winchester’s new hall took me by surprise as to it’s size! We all arrived in style with some beautiful sports and coupe’ cars. The entrance of both families was exciting and full of colour. From the Sarees to the beautiful dresses and suits to the overhanging chadaar. Everything looked rich and beautiful! The ceremony was well performed by the priest and I loved the way the entire family is always involved in the ceremony. After the ceremony and reception had ended we headed off to shoot the creative at an abandoned military base on the Bluff called the Bluff Whaling Station. It was filled with bullet holes in the walls from World War 2 (apparently)! It was a photographer’s dream come true and we were super spoilt with location after location. We could not get enough and the highlight video speaks for itself! I would just like to thank Tyrell and Hena for allowing us the opportunity in capturing such a special day in their lives! We wish you guys only the best that life has to offer…

I began my shoot with Cameron and the groomsmen at a local guest house in Ballito and the guys played along to all the instructions I gave to them. We played some pool, advertised Corona and helped each other with the ties. Cameron and Carla had bought each groomsman a gift with their ties which made their morning extra special! After I had finished with the boys I drove to the girls, who were literally around the corner! They were super busy with makeup and their hair been done. The girls were lovely to work with and Carla was quite calm and collected. The dress was beautiful and I tried something different with the dress, away from my normal shots and shot the dress on the top of the stairs. I did a similar shot with the bride as well in the same spot. I decided to shoot the bridal party at the venue as I could see the light was way too bright with such a large group.

At the venue the decor was set up beautifully and everyone was eager for Carla’s arrival. Cameron was full of nerves but his groomsmen comforted him and became his strength for the morning. When Carla came through the entrance Cameron could not take his eyes off her. The minister shared a great sermon and even though it was a hot day Cameron and Carla managed to brave the direct sunlight only staring at each other in love. After the vows were shared and they had their first kiss we exited the aisle and had some refreshments before calling all the family for photo sessions.

At the creative shoot I took the bridal party to the Hola trails and saw some raw logs piled up on each other. I got the bridal party on them but realised the wind was too much and needed a more sheltered place to shoot. Even at the Hola trails the wind was too much. So I decided on taking the Bridal Party back to the venue where I knew I could still get great shots. In the golden hour the sunlight did not fail me to produce amazing images of just Cameron and Carla alone! They were both very photogenic.

The reception was a load of fun and I made new friends from different countries. The speeches were heartfelt and the food was delicious! Carla’s dad had shared about her sports escapades and how proud he was of the two of them. It was a special moment. I would just like to thank Carla and Cameron for entrusting such a special day into my care and I wish them only success in their future together!

Upon arrival I noticed how the Spring season was ripe in the air with flowers everywhere! So so beautiful! The weather was perfect and when I saw Carina she looked like a 1940’s actress from Hollywood! The girls were easy to work with and Carina stole the day with such a gorgeous dress! Her son walked her down the aisle to Llewellyn which was super special and the groom could not take his eyes off of his bride… The ceremony had a powerful message about not giving up when things get tough and making and building something together. After some beautiful vows were shared and the ceremony formalities were completed it was time for the grande exit. Petals were flying everywhere and everyone was so excited that this day had finally come. We cut the cake soon after the ceremony was completed and I rounded up the families for some family photos.

The creative was an absolute blast with smoke bombs, a few good jokes and an intimate shoot with just the bridal couple. Talloula never fails to deliver as their venue has everything a photographer would ever need! Time just moved by so quickly…

The reception was buzzing with people catching up on their lives and it seemed everyone in the hall were very special and had played a big part in Llewellyn and Carina’s lives. I loved how the lights of the Bridal couple’s initials lit up the back of the speakers hair when giving a speech. It just added so much to the venue…

Wine was plentiful and everyone could see how much Llewellyn adored Carina! I would just like to thank this couple for allowing me to be a part of such a special day in their lives and wish them only success in their future together!

I arrived at the groomsmen at a guest house, just up the road from the venue. They were all laughing and full of jokes when I arrived and I began with the whiskeys and open shirts to set the tone. The red ties with the dark blue suit worked really well together. After the Groom Prep was completed I then left for Chinook guest house near the Tala Game Reserve. The girls were all super excited and Sue was having her final touch ups of make-up done. I enjoyed shooting the flower girls, one being Sue’s daughter, as they were so cute! Sue handled the camera well and it wasn’t long before the rest of her family arrived all excited for the day…

The Chapel in the forest was an absolute winner! Sawdust on the ground to keep everyone’s shoes clean, with purple foliage in tiny buckets running on the sides of the aisle. Everything looked so picturesque! The ceremony was beautiful and Malcolm could hardly hold his breath when he saw Sue walk down the aisle to meet him. The Pastors performing the ceremony were a husband and wife duo and shared the message together to the audience. They did a great job and after the vows were shared and everyone celebrated with the petal throwing!

The retinue at the creative shoot were wonderful to work with and they made my job easy. There was beautiful sunlight and the burnt and cut cane really helped with my composition. The winner was the bridge by the lake and the cabbage patch!

At the reception there was lots of pink shots going around that tasted like a strawberry milkshake. The MC had an assistant going through the safety regulations protocol of a ship and all the speeches shared had lots of dirt on poor Malcolm. The food was delicious and when it came time to party all of the guests “let their hair loose” and got down to some serious fun!

I would like to thank Malcolm and Sue for allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful day! We wish them only success in their future endeavours together!

Wade headed out to Dean who couldn’t wait to see Robyn walk down the isle. I headed out to Robyn and the bridal suite and was welcomed to a room filled with very excited friends, and a very excited bride. Robyn looked gorgeous in her Jeannelle La’mour Dress and the dessert flower plants in all their hair were just beautiful. The earings that Robyn wore were made just by her and I loved how they finished off her look. Robyn’s little sister’s first look reaction was the best as she couldn’t hold back her emotions.

We then headed to a lovely ceremony with people who were so excited for the couple and when they shared their first kiss you could feel the excitement in the air.

The creative session was one for the books. The bridal retinue was so much fun and was pretty much up to anything that we asked them to do. When it was time for just  Robyn and Dean the magic was turned up and we had some fun running around in the cabbage fields.

We then headed to the reception where we probably witnessed the most turned up party we had ever been to. From start to the moment we left this place was filled with laughter and friends and family who really wanted to and who were really happy to be there.

Thank you so much Robyn and Dean for letting us be part of your magical day!

We started off with Rob in one of the awesome decorated rooms and he was anxious to get to his bride. Holding out his emotions which later as you can see he no longer could once Laura walked down the isle.

Their daughter really stole the show at the bridal prep as she loved being in front of the camera and Laura and her shared some special moments between them.

Laura looked absolutely stunning and I knew that this was going to be a very special day.

The ceremony was so emotionally charged with many happy tears shared for the couple, a lot of those tears shared by Rob as he saw his beautiful bride.

After the ceremony, we headed back to the reception area to quickly cut the cake and then while the guests were entertained by good music and lawn games the bridal retinue and us headed back down to the forest area for some creative.  These guys were awesome.

We then chased the light for a few romantic moments between Rob and Laura.

Then we headed back to the beautifully decorated reception area with all my favorite things inside.

The night was filled with a lot of partying, dancing, getting warm by the heaters and a super fun photo booth.

Guys I absolutely loved being part of your day. Thank you for choosing us to capture this very important day of your lives.

Charné and the girls were bubbling when I arrived and they had everything prepped and ready for me to shoot. The dress was exquisite and the makeup was done very well. Everything flowed smoothly. What I liked about Charné’s dress was that it was slightly off white giving the dress a slight pink colour which was out of tradition (My favourite!). I got the girls to have a pillow fight on the bed and what is a bridal prep without the champagne… We had a fun time together shooting the Bridal Prep and it was not long that my video team joined me.

The ceremony started on time and what I soon discovered was that Damian’s family were of Jewish decent. This made the wedding extra special as Damian stood on the wrapped up glass to confirm their vows. The Pastor did a great job with the ceremony and the vows were heartfelt. At the entrance of the chapel a Photos bus was waiting for the couple. We quickly got some epic photos of the couple in front and inside the bus before heading out to the gardens for our creative shoot. The retinue was amazing at following instructions and made my creative shoot a pleasant one. We had fun with smoke bombs when we were shooting Damian & Charné alone. The wind didn’t fair well with the smoke but that didn’t stop us from trying to be creative. We pushed the limits with the drone master Gerrit, and we ended the shoot at the top of Bothas Hill with some footage for the video. Damian and Charné were champs just listening to everything we asked them to do without complaining.

The reception was lit with excitement and plenty of cheers as the couple entered the hall. We got to hear of how hard Damian had to work to win the girl of his dreams and how special he has been to Charné’s family. We got to hear of all the escapades they have been doing as a couple from the speeches of their loved ones and we witnessed the appreciation given by Damian as he shared the Vote Of Thanks. The food was amazing as always and as always Talloula never fails in this department. We captured the intimacy of the first dance and I saw the love of a dad for his daughter, as some special moments were shared on the dance floor. It was a great night to be remembered by all! I would just like to thank Damian and Charné for allowing us to be part of such a special day and wish you guys only success in your future together!

The forest was filled with guests waiting for the bride to make her appearance down the aisle. When Angela did arrive she arrived on the back of a trailer connected to a farm tractor! The entrance was spell bounding and Kyle had to swallow his tears as he saw Angela making her way down the aisle with her dad. The Pastor did a great job performing the ceremony and we were greeted with a herd of cows migrating to the other side of the woods. The vows were intimate and lots of tears were shed. After the first kiss and the exit we went to the Chapel above for signing the register and then to the island in the Lake for the cutting of the cake. After the family photos were taken at the Lake I took the retinue to the forest for a bit of smoke bombs and fun! Angela and Kyle could not keep their hands off each other and they graciously gave me enough time for some incredible light in the open fields for their creative photos of just the 2 of them alone. I was truly blessed with great light!

The reception was buzzing with great vibes, speeches and lots of toasts! Angela and Kyle have been through alot together and you could catch up on their moments together shared from the speeches of Kyle’s groomsmen and friends. The first dance was intimate and the dance floor became quickly heated up by the DJ and lots of guests letting their hair down. It was a night to remember…

Thank you Angela and Kyle for allowing me to capture such a special day. I wish you guys only success in your future together!

The bridal suite at Haycroft is pretty perfect with big bright windows and gorgeous light. Caitlin’s dress was made by her aunt and her dad’s reaction was such an emotional and special moment to witness. Also, her hair and makeup was done by her friends who also happened to be part of her bridal retinue which I thought was pretty cool.

The ceremony was filled with tears and very special vows written by the couple themselves. And after the ceremony, the couple cut their cheesecake in the beautiful forest.

We then had so much fun in the forest. The bridal retinue was so much fun and Caitlin looked absolutely gorgeous in between the forest and the setting sun.
I was so excited when Caitlin told me that they wanted to head out onto the water in a very little boat and with the sun setting over the water we got some amazing shots.

We then headed to the reception for some incredible food, so much laughter and a crazy party!

Caitlin and Jarrod thank you so much for letting me part of your day. It was such an honor being witness to your love story!

When we all rushed to the chapel, to make it to the church on time, I didn’t prepare myself for what I was about to see inside. The chapel was so beautiful! The ceiling was a masterpiece and was designed to give you a feeling of grandness and spaciousness. The chandeliers were exquisite! They had a Pastor perform the ceremony and he took his time to make everyone feel right at home. Ramone could not take his gaze off Shannon as she entered the chapel and I could feel his heart racing. The vows were all beautifully shared and before we knew it the first kiss was announced. After the ceremony finished and we had some family photos taken we headed off to Ballito to where the reception was being held. It was a strawberry farm known as Cappeny Estates. When we arrived the decor and setup outside the venue was exquisite and there was a local singer entertaining the guests with canapes being served whilst the photobooth was busy with guests having snaps with their loved ones. Couches were everywhere and the vibe was lovely! Inside was a sight to behold. Lee-Anne out did herself with a banquet of flowers, golden plates, perspex table numbers and crystal glasses everywhere. You could see this couple went all out to show their love for each other. After I got the pictures and video of the reception and decor I took the retinue to the dam for the photos. The light was perfect and we had a great time together.

The entrance of the retinue was started with the first dance. It is always nice when my bridal couple bend the rules of tradition. The reception was filled with laughter and and the speeches always had someone shedding a tear. Especially Shannon’s mom. It was so special to see all the love they had for the couple. After eating a delicious meal we then got down to the garter and bouquet and the DJ turning up the heat on the dance floor. We all had a night that we will never forget! I would just like to thank Shannon and Ramone for entrusting such a special day into our hands and we wish them only success in their future together…

The venue was set up beautifully by Spot On Events and when the time came for the grand entrance we were met by these 2 beautiful sports cars (which were the highlight of the wedding day) and their entrance really made a statement! The pastor did a great job in performing the service and the round architrave in the front just added that elegance to the outdoors. We ended the service with a guard of honour and the couple walked through the rain of petals. I did a drone shot of everyone gathered together by the lake and the sun added a bit of it’s beauty into the shot as well. At the creative we focused mainly on the sports cars and when the time came for the shoot by the bridge we got rained out! I lost my sun visor at that point, running to the van for shelter, and tried recovering it in the rain to no avail… I did do a re-shoot of that creative shoot a few weeks later to capture the fullness of their love for each other, and I found my visor! Arriving at the reception dripping with water my team set up whilst I dried myself off and we prepared for the second grand entrance. Shivania and Yash had both changed into a different outfit which was more colourful.

The MC was very good at entertaining the guests and we had a wonderful time with the speeches, the delicious meals and the cake cutting. We had a surprise item from Pop Idols contestant Crystalene Nair. When it came time for the first dance Yash and Shivania were well prepared with their dance routine. The DJ then turned up the beat and no-one could stop the overflow of guests letting their hair down and dancing the night away. What a party!

I would just like to thank Yash and Shivania for allowing us to capture such a special day in their lives and only wish them success in their future together…

Nadene looked absolutely beautiful in her Jeannelle l’Amour Bridal dress and how absolutely gorgeous is her bouquet. I am such a sucker for big beautiful green bouquets.

The venue had such beautiful elements, of barn and livestock and rustic colors. I felt like there was something to shoot at every almost corner.

Also in all my years of shooting, I have seen many different wedding cars but when the vintage blue combi came up the driveway I was overly excited because it would be a first for me and a dream come true actually. I am a little obsessed with these combis.

Gerhard and Nadene had a very special ceremony with Nadenes sister in law singing as Nadene walked down the isle, and Nadene’s brother doing the ceremony. I loved how close this family was and it was really special getting to capture all this.

After the ceremony, we headed to the creative and I got a full hour with the combi with some amazing light and even better chemistry with Gerhard and Nadene who clearly were obsessed with each other.

We then headed to the reception which was beautifull decorated. There was so much laughter, warmth and love within the room and I felt really privileged being witness to this.

Thank you so much for letting me be part of this incredible day guys!

The ceremony was held in the the garden area near the forest. The ceremony all went according to what was planned and before we knew it, it was time for the first kiss… The canapes table set out was big and made a statement! It was beautifully laid out with different cheeses and biltong and jams. Everything you could think of was laid out on that table.

The creative was held in the field just beyond the forest. The bridesmaids were all beautiful and fun and the groomsmen also didn’t disappoint. Everyone did their part and made the creative shoot fun and enjoyable. When it came time to shoot just the 2 of them Jaco could not get enough of Chanel. I could see him breathe her in and gaze forever in those ebony eyes. It was lovely to catch such chemistry between the two! The reception was an absolute blast and everyone had fun with the mirror selfie. The speeches were all heartfelt and by the time we hit the dance floor the ladies were been spun around by all the gentlemen and the party became such a blast!

Thank you Jaco and Chanel for entrusting such a special day into our care! We wish you only success in your future together….

And so the day commenced, a bridal prep filled with humor, sponsored by the maid of honour and flawless makeup done by Tristan Beard. Louette’s family made us feel right at home with their generous hospitality. With Claude’s parents spending many years in the wedding photography industry there where constant stories to share. As for the couple, need we say more! Coming from such loving families Claude and Louette were intensely and sincerely in love with such appreciation for each and every individual who spent the day with them. We want to thank them for bringing the joy and warmth back into these specials days. They could not have done anything better.
