Michal & Mandrie – Domaine Brahms, Paarl
This was truly such a special and blessed day. I haven’t cried this much at a wedding for a long while now! EVERYONE did.. even the pastor (a dear friend) (:
For good reason. These two know love; And cherish each other, family, friends and the Lord. It was a privilege to be there. Thank you. [...]

Timothy & Candice – The Range, Tokai, Cape Town
After 13 years the wonderful Timothy and Candice finally tied the knot in Cape Town. These two are so awesome, it’s unbelievable. The love and respect they have for each other is humbling to say the least.
At the ceremony their love for others was also shown by the wedding favours they [...]
Christian & Katharina – Engagement Shoot, Cape Town
Christian & Katharina arrived a few days ago, all the way from Germany, for their wedding taking place on the 27th of November. We did an engagement shoot, to meet each other, have fun while doing so, and to get Christian used to my camera! (: He is not too fond being in front of [...]
Carl & Vanessa – Blaauwklippen, Stellenbosch
It felt like the whole world came to see Carl and Vanessa get married. The Moedergemeente in Stellenbosch was packed to the brim and it took quite some organizing to fit all those people into a big group picture The engagement shoot we did earlier this year has also generated huge response. It’s [...]
Jon & Simone – Kloofzicht, Zwartkops Mountains
I had to travel over to Johannesburg, for this lovely couple’s wedding. And it was worth it! The venue was spectacular. And the weather gave us something of EVERYTHING. Warm day, blue skies, cloudy, thunderstorm, huge raindrops, lovely sunset, and a cold breeze. (: Lots of beautiful fun people, children and loving (exciting) family!
Thank you [...]
Steven & Charlotte – Pringle Bay
Weddings rarely get more intimate than this. 20 Friends and family members, a secluded piece of beach. The perfect backdrop for these two Belgians who came all the way out to South Africa to tie the knot!
Steven was a regular visitor to South Africa – and it was more than 10 years ago that he [...]
De Villiers & Karin – Towerbosch, Stellebosch
Happiness, peacefulness and joy was what made this day so memorable. Nothing that could have happened, would have spoilt Karin and De Villiers’ perfect day.
Karin het aangetrek by die absolute amazing Batavia Boutique Hotel - waar ons haar gekry het met ‘n breë, rustige glimlag op die gesig – en soos die dag gevorder het, het [...]
Carl & Vanessa – Engagement Shoot, Greyton
This post is well overdue. Carl, Vanessa and I went for a wonderful engagement shoot in Greyton.
Greyton is a small, beautiful town situated about 2.5 hours from Cape Town. We had so much fun seeing all the secret spots in Greyton and I saw someone catching a fish. I’m one step away from being a [...]
Rudolph & Luize – Houw Hoek Inn, Grabouw
There couldn’t have been a more perfect setting and a more perfect couple for this wedding on this day.
Die Grabouw area staan bekend vir haar asemrowende natuur tonele, en haar onvoorspelbare weer. Op hierdie dag het sy weereens haar naam hoog gehou. Dit het by tye gesous, en by tye het die son geskyn, maar [...]
Gary & Melissa – Neetlingshof, Stellenbosch
What a lovely wedding! Ever been at St. George’s Cathedral? You are missing out! The architecture is mesmerizing and beautiful, the light and colours are unexplainable, it’s enigmatic. You have to see for yourself. This was only the start of the beautiful day, the day ended with good music, a lot of laughter and fantastic [...]
Johann & Janel – Nooitgedaght, Stellenbosch
What an absolutely stunning day!
Johann en Janel se groot dag was werklik baie indrukwekkend! Die detail in die dekor, Janel se pragtige rok, die ongelooflike kos – soveel amazing dinge om te prys!
Baie geluk met ‘n stunning dag, ‘n stunning troue, en ‘n “memorable” groep vriende en familie!
Geniet die foto’s!

Johannes & Petro – Mount Nelson, Cape Town
What a day! Johannes and Petro are an amazing couple who successfully personalized their wedding in such a way that it will be difficult to forget.
These two are all about the travels. Physically and emotionally. They met on an global outreach where they traveled around the world in a few months while spreading the gospel. [...]
Pedri & Marise – Kronenburg, Paarl
This spontaneous, gorgeous couple made the most of every moment to enjoy their special day! They were so relaxed, at peace and full of joy.
Baie dankie julle. Ek glo julle vriendskap en liefde vir mekaar gaan altyd aanhou straal!
Baie dankie ook vir my assistent van die dag, die talentvolle .. Jonine (:

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)
