Weddings for 2009
René & Jenny – Whale View Manor, Simon’s Town
Love! Love! Buckets full of love! These two are the definition of love birds! Hugs, kisses and adoration was the mark of this small & intimate wedding. My heart glowed warmly as I saw René & Jenny adore, embrace and appreciate every single guest. It was a celebration of love cultivated by life long [...]
Callie & Thina – Kronenburg, Paarl
Saturday was one of those rare, absolutely perfect days – the weather, the setting, and of course, the couple. Callie and Thina planned and lived the perfect wedding day, and we were all fortunate to be witness to it. Of course having a beautiful venue (Kronenburg), and stylish flowers (To-Nett’s) helps, but it was Callie [...]
Zac & Linda – Kaapzicht, Stellenbosch
6-pac Zac and his noble steed, Daihatsu Charade, won the heart of the lovely long legged princess Linda! Their love for one another certainly isn’t a charade. This was the day they celebrated and made their covenant of love. I believe that they will indeed live happily ever after and stand against the onslaughts of [...]
Gerbrand & Gerdia – Breede River Lodge, Bonnievale
Dié tweetjies is darem verlief! Van die eerste dag wat ek hulle ontmoet het by Basic Bistro kon hul nie ophou oorborrel vir mekaar nie. Gerbrand met sy glimlag en Gerdia met haar giggel! Dankie G-G vir ‘n pragtige dag – die liefde straal werklik uit julle verhouding, en die “excitement” uit Gerdia se skoentjies!
Geniet [...]
Sam & Diane – Klein Bottelary, Stellenbosch
What will I remember Sam & Diane by? Certainly the way they embrace people with warmness and love!
I have to admit, I was a bit nervous. The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. And to top that…this was the first time I had to shoot an older couple. I had to think [...]
Riaan & Suzette – Groenrivier, Riebeeck Wes
The exceptional beauty of the autumn vineyards at Groenrivier made my finger twitch for that shutter button. This lovely day is a photographers dream; autumn vineyards, beautiful couple, awesome venue, divine food…and a red VW beatle? Suzette loves red VW beatles and they went through a lot of trouble to find the perfect beatle. I [...]
Ben & Karen – Blomstoor, Betty’s Bay
It was a joyful experience to photograph Ben & Karen, thanks to their spontaneity and willingness to run over dunes (literally chasing the sun), stop randomly at some places and to relax and cherish this huge day together! Thank you guys.. keep your love and laughter strong!

Brenainn & Kirsten – Hotel School, Cape Town
How I had fun with this couple!! Brenainn and Kirsten is a perfect match when it comes to their playfulness and love for adventure. This was certainly the most adventurous couple shoot I’ve had yet. I remember my words clearly while Kirsten and her wellies climbed a tree stump as if they were conquering [...]
Hannes & Loeis – Botaniese Tuine, Kleinmond
‘n Bruidspaar wat hul opgewondenheid nie kon inhou nie, gemeng met die baie spesiale boodskap waarmee Loeis se pa die tweetjies self getrou het gekruis met die pragtige Kleinmond – dit was werklik ‘n baie spesiale dag! Dankie vir Loeis se twee sussas wat die couple shoot so extra exciting gemaak het!
Kliek gerus op die [...]
Andro & Marelette – Angelicas, Durbanville
A short and sweet wedding, showing the excitement of getting married in these two’s eyes! We were lucky that the weather kept up this day, and as a result the clouds provided an opportunity to get a few dramatic shots just to add extra spice to the already in-locw couple’s shoot.
Thank you guys for the [...]
Giancarlo & Kelly – Skilpadvlei, Stellenbosch
After been together for a very long time these two finally took the big step and ensured a beautiful day (and evening) for all who attended. The long drive from the Kenridge church (Durbanville) back to Stellenbosch for the reception at Skilpadvlei meant we had little time for the couple shoot, but these two certainly [...]
Hein & Lydia – Waterval, Tulbagh
April 4th, there is some mystery to the beauty of Tulbagh. I can’t really put my finger on it and can’t really explain it; you will have to see for yourself.
Hein & Lydia made me long back to my rural upbringing; warm, humble and incredibly hospitable people. Parting from them was difficult, it was as [...]
Dave & Brina – La Brasserie, Franschhoek
An interesting couple, both with passion for what they do, love and a positive approach to life . I enjoyed seeing their creativity (both being architects) flow over into the decorations. Also a well chosen venue, to suite their personality.

Hansie & Celeste – Proviant, Paarl
Tomato sauce and a wedding…it seems like an odd combination. Hansie LOVES tomato sauce, enjoying almost every single meal with a good helping of All Gold. It is Celeste’s deepest desire to be his “tomato sauce”. That he will love her like he loves tomato sauce, that they will be inseparable and that she will [...]
Chris & Stephé – Klein Genot, Franschoek
Why wait 8 or nine months to get married? That’s exactly what Chris en Stephé decided when they planned the most beautiful wedding at this stunning (Klein Genot) venue in a mere 8 weeks!
And when we got to doing the couple shoot, I could see why they didn’t want to wait so long – they [...]
Derek & Tracy – Langverwacht, Stellenbosch
Although Derek and Tracy only got married in March this year, they already asked if I would take their photos in October last year (when I was still doing an assistant job with Wil at Peartree Photography).
Of course I said yes – who wouldn’t want to be a part these two energetic, loving people’s big [...]
Eelco & Anel – Grabouw Country Club
Eelco and Anel were great fun … what a special and blessed day, having all-out smiles, especially after running through rainy fields, right after their photoshoot. A couple with momentum

Sean & Theresa – Lanzerac, Stellenbosch
Another beautiful day, another beautiful wedding and another beautiful couple! When Sean mentioned the reception is going to be at Lanzerac I realized I could finally use that smooth stretch of tarmac on the Jonkershoek road for a shoot – something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and something that these two fully [...]
Tobie & Eileen – Kigna, Montagu
A typical plattelandse wedding – down to earth people, full of emotions, full of home-made food, and of course amazing scenery.
Tobie and Eileen met each other in Kuruman, where they know live, but decided to come back down to the Western Cape for the big day, which surely ensured that true Bolandse platteland wedding.
Great day [...]
