Weddings for 2010
Brian & Lizl – Brandvlei, Worcester
Brian’s eyes glisten with love, Lizl melts away at his kisses. Yes we saw that smirk on your faces after the kisses at the wall!
These two have a love that knows no boundaries, that abounds in grace and that will serve each other till the day they die. I pray that you two [...]
Jacques & Lauren – Pumba Private Game Reserve, Eastern Cape
The Pumba Private Game Reserve is a STUNNING venue! And Jacques and Lauren fitted it picture-perfectly. From right at the beginning of our communication, onwards, they kept insuring me that I should be(a)ware, as they are sooo camera-shy. But when we started – it all seem to change in a few seconds – as these [...]
Philip & Hedri – Kanu Wines, Stellenbosch
It was a freezingly cold, but beautifully crisp and clear winters day! In the middle of the photoshoot, we all scrambled back into our cars, to get some heat back into our bones, BUT Philip and Hedri hardly noticed (I think) (: as these two are obviously in love, and were anticipating this day for [...]
Thomas’ 1 year birthday – Durbanville
Thomas is 1 year old!
It was such a cute! and gorgeous birthday party. Marna and Jason (Thomas’ parents) thought of the funnest details to add to this little life’s precious day. I think the kids probably passed out for the rest of the weekend – they exhausted themselves having so much fun with all their [...]
Rudolph & Luize – E-Shoot, Stellenbosch
The rain stopped pounding at exactly the right time, which left us with the most perfect cloud cover and lighting for a fun filled afternoon. Who would have thought that a semi-deserted caravan park can provide such a nice setting for a photo shoot?
Rudolph and Luize are getting married end of September, so watch this [...]
JG & Charindie – E-Shoot, Simonstown

What a beautiful day, with such a beautiful couple! Quite a while overdue, but people this happy deserve sharing!
Ons het besluit om die pragtige trein trippie aan te durf Simonstad toe. Hierdie is defnitief een van die mooiste stukkies spoor [...]
Julian & Lisa – Jouberstdal, Swellendam
I’m going to call this the absolutely stunning wedding with a kids’ model-show as an extra. The most gorgeous (and evidently loved) children were running all over the place, and I couldn’t stop snapping! And apart from them, Joubertsdal Diary Farm is spectacular, the weather was perfect (end of May!) and the bridal couple beautiful!
Hope [...]
Coenie & Elle, – Engagement Shoot, Grabouw, Cape Town
When I first met Coenie and Ella, they told me that they where quite camera shy. When I arrived for the shoot at Coenie’s family camp site in Grabouw – Back to Basics, all I could think about was this camera shy couple. Well, take 5 minutes and look through these photo’s and look how [...]
André & Leonie – Eben Haezer, Paarl
They had a beAutiful day, in the midst of winter. The venue, Eben Haezer (in the valley of Klein-Drakenstein) is intimate and cozy, with old (Cape Dutch) buildings, beautiful rose garden, and farmy fields at the back.
It was special to see these two, so in love(!!) getting married.
Baie dankie André en Leonie

Rudolf & Michele – Franschhoek Country House & Villas
Adoration. That’s what was most evident between Rudi and Michele, their open and honest love for each other. And what a stunning venue(!) for their small and intimate feast.
Baie dankie, bruidspaar (: vir ‘n wonderlike dag! (en aan die gaste vir die lag en vermaak aan tafel)

Gerald & Liska – Groot Constantia, Cape Town
If ever a photographer can say they have had a blast at a wedding, it would be me. Gerald and Liska’s wedding was full of laughs, tears, cry’s of joy and love. Even a 30 minute delay in the service didn’t stop this fantastic couple from smiling.
The people where amazing and the day was a [...]
Brendon & Henda – La Vierge, Hermanus
It was perfect weather, with the most beautiful sceneries and places, and jolly friendly people! Henda and her sister got dressed at the “Mosselberg on Grotto Beach” guest house. Please see how gorgeous this place is here. Then they got married in the Anglican Church, Hermanus. After which all the guests were taken up to [...]
Antonie & Suraine – Knorhoek, Stellenbosch
Antonie and Suraine got married in the extremely beautiful valley of Knorhoek just outside Stellenbosch. It was a great day, great weather, beautiful bride and a handsome groom. A recipe for lovely pics!
I earnestly recommend Knorhoek’s restaurant, Towerbosch. It’s look and feel is unique: it’s cozy, it gives a warm feeling in the tummy, [...]
Dalain & Elizé – Intundla Lodge, Pretoria
Click on the thumbnail (left) to view these and more photos in Full Screen.
Rain Rain Rain, and a lot of it! It was an absolute storm the whole of friday night – even up to the point that we started the bridal shoot, but then all of a sudden it stopped and it [...]
Willem & Karlien – Towerbosch, Stellenbosch
Click on the thumbnail (left) to view these and more photos in Full Screen.
What an absolutely stunning, fun filled day! Picture perfect weather, picture perfect people and moments!
Die WilleTryn het defnitief nie teleurgestel op die dag nie – alles was perfek beplan tot op die kleinste (en mooiste) detail – die glas potjies vol Wilson [...]
Travis & Karen – Dieu Donne, Franschoek
After continued rain the previous few days, the sky couldn’t have cleared to a much more perfect state than on this beautiful day. Which is kinda convenient, because Dieu Donne (already picturesque) is just absolutely breathtaking on a clear day.
Friends and family from from across the world traveled down to witness this magical moment take [...]
Jéan & Hesté – Bon Cap, Robertson
They had their ceremony at the church in Robertson, after which everyone had a gorgeous ride to Bon Cap, a “piece of paradise” land a few kilometers outside Roberston, and 8km’s gravel road (from the main) through beaUtiful mountain hills! We parked off in short distances to take photos of yet another capturing landscape in [...]
Casper & Barbara – Kleine Zalze, Stellenbosch
The rain was pounding down quite hard ’til after sunrise on Barbara and Casper’s wedding day. Not that the clouds ever parted through-out the day, but this provided the most stunning dramatic scenery for photos – and besides, Barbara is one for winter-time anyway.
Dit was pragtig. Dit was gelukkig. Dit was prentjie [...]
Retief & Risna – Free State
The funnest and most eventful wedding. I loved it. The farm was spectacular. Risna always dreamed of having her special day on the farm where she grew up, and together with the whole family, they made it happen! (and yes, Retief’s hands have added ruff edges to show off his huge contribution!) Well done to [...]
George & Michelle – Morganshof, Stellenbosch
What started out as a misty, cloudy Saturday morning turned out to be another spectacular day in Stellenbosch. Michelle and George (both SA expats now living in the UK) decided to celebrate their special day at the beautiful Morganshof, just outside Stellenbosch.
Sebastine Pepler did an excellent job of Michelle’s make-up – not that [...]

Etienne & Saskya – Roodezandt, Tulbagh
Etienne and Saskya got married at the extremely beautiful and quaint Roodezandt just outside Tulbagh!
Dit was die pragtigste, tipiese Maart dag in die platteland – nie te warm nie, geen wind, hier en daar ‘n wolkie en dan natuurlik die mooiste berge reg rondom Roodezandt. Die feestelike dag was georganiseer deur Retha van der Westhuizen [...]

Tim & Merryn – Anura, Stellenbosch
Tim and Merryn got married in Claremont, but had their reception out at Stellenbosch at the beautiful Anura Vineyards. It was a day filled with the happiest of memories and celebrations! Starting with Merryn’s prep at the exquisite Highlands Country House in Kenilworth, the smiling never ended until late into the night.
Tim and Merryn really [...]
