Weddings
Johan & Hendrien – Montagu
Johan en Hendrien het sekerlik op een van die warmste dae van 2011 getrou. Ek het laas so warm gekry met Hendrien se sussie, Annatjie, se troue.
Johan en Hendrien is fantasties saam. Selfs in die kort tydperk wat ek hulle te siene gekry het, kon ek sien hoe hulle die beste in mekaar uitbring.
Die onthaal [...]
Thomas & Debbie – Edenheim, Paarl
It is not often you get a wedding 2 days before the actual wedding date but this is where the benefits of the Germinate Team come in handy and it is why we are such a great team. This wedding sprung on me very quick and I was only able to meet both Thomas and [...]
John and Carlyn – Plettenberg Bay
What a wedding!! When I met Carlyn the first time I knew we were going to have a lot of fun on their wedding day, and I knew that this would be a day to remember.
Nothing disappointed and it was a beautiful day! Could it be any different when you’re getting married on your family farm [...]
Abri & Madri – Delsma Farm, Riebeek Kasteel
I met Abri and Madri in March this year and immediately took a liking to this fun filled, loving couple. I could immediately see that their wedding was going to be a blast. Well, the 9th of December arrived and I arrived at Madri’s place and I was greeted with the biggest smile. She was [...]
Bennie & Nicole – Holdenmanz, Franschhoek
I couldn’t believe my first wedding request came from a girl in America. I met Nicole and Bennie a few days before their wedding and was excited about their big day from the word go.
These two have been married for eight months and decided to have another celebration with their South African friends and family. [...]
Ian & Donné – Stellenrust, Stellenbosch
And so it had to come to an end – at least on the personal side for me.
Ian and Donné’s wedding was the last for which I had the privilege to shoot for Germinate, and what an absolutely stunning way to end this personal journey with.
Donné wore an exquisite dress while Ian wore [...]
Jonathan & Aletmarie – Sterkwater, Ceres
Ek ken Aletmarie en Jonathan al van 2007 af en dit was ‘n groot voorreg om deel te kon wees van hulle troudag.
Jonathan en Aletmarie se paadjie saam het in Graad 11 op skool begin toe hy haar met ‘n “sal jy met my uitgaan” briefie uitgevra het in die Biologieklas. 6 Jaar later het [...]
David & Candice – Hedgehog’s Nest, Rustenburg
What a wedding! David and Candice booked me a year ago for their wedding. They live in Rustenburg in the North West province (my home province) and we have never met before the Big Day.
How I wish we had.
These two are the coolest people you’ll ever get to know in a day. They love each [...]
Gert & Estelle – Idille, George
(English below)
Die eerste keer wat ek vir Estelle ontmoet het, was ek stomgeslaan deur haar lag. Dis die ongelooflikste uit-die-maag lag. Dis seker steeds die nommer een ding wat mens sal oplet van haar. Ek’t dit sommer destyds opgeneem en gestel as ‘n wekker op my foon.
Met tyd het Estelle vir Gert ontmoet en hulle [...]
James & Amy – Greenways Hotel, Claremont
James and Amy celebrated their big day at two different places. At Greenways Hotel where Amy’s mother used to work and at the Foodbarn in Noordhoek.
The detail and food at the wedding was sublime. It was so much fun taking photos of these guests, because they were always smiling. James and Amy are the perfect [...]
Nicholas & Anin – Café Felix, Riebeeck-Kasteel
Nicholas and Anin

Etienne & Salome – Lourensford, Somerset West
Dis nogal ‘n uitdaging om foto’s van pasgetroudes te neem as daar ‘n reuse vuur in die agtergrond woed. Ons het heeltyd gespot dat hierdie vuur so groot gaan wees dat dit eerste item is wat gaan wys as mens hul troudag google. Natuurlik het ons nie toe geweet hoe groot die vuur in Somerset-Wes [...]
Nico & Janli – Viljoensdrift, Robertson
Nico and Janli put together their quaint wedding in Viljoensdrift from Johannesburg, a small wedding with 53 Guests.. Unfortunately the Cape Doctor decided that it was to be the boss of the day and it made conditions different, this didn’t stop both Nico and Janli from enjoying their special day with family and friends. Especially [...]
Michael & Jodi – The Oaks Room, Newlands
There are moments that take your breath away and then there are full days that take your breath away. When Michael and Jodi got married it was as though everyone present was breathless. These two are an amazing couple with an unbelievable love for one another. Looking at them is like looking at how God [...]
Andre & Liza – Langberg, Kimberley
It is always enjoyable doing a wedding out of town and this was no different. The Langberg Guest Farm was the location of Andre & Liza’s wedding and what a spectacular venue/farm it is. Thanks to Paul from Langberg for taking us on our “game drive” of a couple shoot – pity we couldn’t stop [...]
Robert & Lynette – Towerbosch, Stellenbosch
It was an astoundingly beautiful day – not only referring to the perfect April weather in Stellenbosch, but also the special, intimate celebration of Robert and Lynette.
Towerbosch once again lived up to its own high level of standards – the food, the catering and the stunningly serene setting against the lush mountain side.
As Lynette described [...]
Leon & Ronel – Beloftebos, Stanford
Beloftebos is surely one of the most beautiful venues in the whole of the Western Cape. Leon & Ronel came across it by accident while googling to find their wedding venue – and they definitely hit the jackpot.
Intimate, serene, breathtakingly beautiful, and with that, a mystic cloudy day to top the day… except for the [...]
Chris & Emma – Silvermist, Constantia
What a celebration. Chris and Emma got married at the wonderful Silvermist in Constantia.
There are so many things that stand out on this day. The beautiful venue, Emma’s fantastic laugh and her Joey from Friends impressions, the numerous bicycle stories, how happy Chris looked when Emma walked down the aisle. The list is endless.Never before [...]
Johan & Lumari – Clarens, Drakensburg
I must apologize upfront for all the post images but pictures cannot describe the beauty of the Drakensburg, especially Clarens. Johan contacted me quite some time back and asked if I was willing to travel to Clarens to photograph his wedding…. Come on! My mind was made up before he even asked the question. Johan [...]
Gerrit & Jennifer – Villiersdorp
Villiersdorp meets Malmesbury. Gawe mense, gekookte kos, Kurt Darren en vriendelike glimlagte. Dit is wat hierdie massiewe plattelandse troue so spesiaal gemaak het.
Gerrit (a.k.a Kwas) en Jennifer het die knoop gehaak in die oulike NG Kerk in Villiersdorp, waarna die partytjie in volle swang afgeskop het by die Villiersdorp Skougronde.
Baie geluk met ‘n pragtige, vreugdevolle [...]
Denys & Lara – Haute Cabriére, Franschhoek
Denys & Lara
It was a really hot day.. but cooled off perfectly! The Franschhoek mountains are just stunning – and put these two lovely newly weds into the picture – and whola! They were set out to have fun on their special day, and so they did! Congratulations guys! And thank you!
Also thanks to Anel, [...]
Matt & Silke – South Hill, Elgin
We often race past the Grabouw / Elgin area on the N2; and seldom (if ever) do we take a turn-off onto a road called “The Valley” – what a pleasant surprise this proved to be. Matt and Silke chose a beautiful venue with a stunning brackdrop for their special, intimate celebration.
Thanks for a well [...]
Alan & Sarah – Hidden Valley, Stellenbosch
Alan and Sarah
Just look at this gorgeous couple! Tears and sentiment were flowing – not to even mention love (truly without trying to write an cliche). Also, her brother (walking her down the isle) got married just the week before (photographed by www.peartree.co.za), and the other best man the week before that! (: … everyyyyone [...]
