Weddings for 2010

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, [...]

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

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 [...]

Abraham & Marilie – Zorgvliet, Stellenbosch

Definitely one of the happiest weddings I have ever attended!  Abraham and Marilé got married at the gorgeous Zorgvliet, with the most perfect day imaginable.  There wasn’t a single facet that wasn’t perfect – the weather was amazing, the food was divine, the speeches was moving and celebratory at the same time – and the [...]

Russel & Aletta – Rawsonville

Die Afrikaanse dame en Engels-man het getrou! They had their wedding in Rawsonville – and the place is a paradise! Where-ever you drive, theres another gorgeous setting. Still we did most of the photos at the beautiful Deetlefs. Happy happy (:

Will & Gina – Goedgedacht

Will and Gina

It was a REALLY hot day – which blew a cool breeze just as Gina started down the isle (: Their wedding took place on Goedgedacht farm, outside Riebeeck Kasteel, which holds a beautiful sentiment to the family. The day was gorgeous, the evening was spectacular, and the couple sooo relaxed, taking every [...]

Johannes & Hanli – La Pineta, Stellenbosch

Johannes, I haven’t seen a bigger smile in my life! (-: My, my, my…Johannes & Hanli standing at a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

Gareth & Amy – St Cyprians, Cape Town

Every now and again you kind of get used to the formalities that comes with a wedding.  It took the absolute sincere honesty of Gareth and Amy to show (to me personally) once again what it is really about.  No pretending, just an honest, loving and generally stunning celebration of the newly formed commitment between [...]
