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 [...]
Jacques & Mariza – Delsma, Riebeeck Kasteel
Riebeeck Kasteel is the cutest, most quant little town! Well done to Jacques and Mariza for finding such a gem like Delsma Farm!
It was the perfect, typical February day – warm, perfect skies and not a breath of wind surrounded by endless rolling hills of grain fields – and to end it off, a [...]
Marius & Shoneé – Olivello, Stellenbosch
I met Marius and Shoneé last year at Gerald and Liska’s wedding. They then called me literally 2 weeks after their engagement and asked me to take their photo’s for them. The friendship grew and it made working with them so much easier.
We had a ball, going into the local cafe to take photo’s, then [...]
Robert & Debbie – Silvermist, Constantia
It was the most spectacular day in Cape Town – not a single breath of wind, with the silence thick in the beauty of Table Mountain at Constantia. Rob & Debbie came all the way from Johannesburg to have their big day in Cape Town – and it was a celebration at a beautiful venue [...]
Graeme & Lexi – Alle Bleue, Pniel
Graeme and Lexi
What a special day at Alle Bleue. You guys share an amazing love, and it was a privilege to witness your wedding day. The expressions on your faces as you walked away from the ceremony, shows it all! Always treasure one another. You are gorgeous.
Your day was beautiful as well, and Alle Bleue [...]
Samuel & Jessica – Hathersage, Somerset West
Samuel and Jessica have not know each other for too long but the love they share is amazing. They are both great people and I enjoyed spending their wedding day by their side. A special thanks to Samuel for lending us his new Canon 7D as a backup camera. Their choice of venue – Hathersage, [...]
Francois & Amor – Avocado, Durbanville
Francois and Amor tied the knot in Philadelphia and held their reception at Avocado in Durbanville.
Dis wonderlik om hierdie twee bymekaar te sien. Hulle oë begin glinster, hulle lag baie en maak almal om hul dadelik op hul gemak. Hulle vul mekaar so aan dat mens skoon jaloers raak op die magic wat hul het.
Dit [...]
Marvin & Nicole – La Petite Dauphine, Franschhoek
In the years of her singleness, Nicole had a problem. She needed a date for a wedding and was struggling through a list of options. What is worse then getting invited to a wedding while being single? Finally she decided on The New Guy. The New Guy became Marvin. Marvin became Marvelous Marvin and the [...]
Reino & Annatjie – Laerskool Montagu, Montagu
The world is a small place. Who would think that a girl from Montagu would meet her future husband in London and that this man would be from Koekenaap?
This is what happened to wonderful Annatjie and Reino. They met in London, started dating in London and then planned their wedding from London… within 3 months. [...]
Nicolaas & Bea – Strandkombuis, Yzerfontein
Nicolaas and Bea
It was the most gorgeous day, with a slight ocean breeze! Strandkombuis is bEaUtiFul! Everyone had to kick off their shoes, to walk over the beach to the ceremony. Which also added to the already relaxed and festive atmosphere. Nicolaas and Bea are such a special couple. They’ve been going out for I [...]
Nico & Lizelle – Stellenrust, Stellenbosch
What a way to end the year! Soveel glimlagte en goeie memories – dit bly darem lekker om twee great mense by mekaar te sien uitkom. Vreeslik baie dankie vir ‘n onvergeetlike dag, mag julle net die mooiste van herinneringe vorentoe beleef!

Willie & Joamie – Molenvliet, Stellenbosch
Willie and Joamie
It was real windy, but fortunately this stunning venue is nestled in the valley of Helshoogte, which blocked it just enough. The day was gorgeous! And Joamie!! Decor, attention to detail and a lot of creativity… Guests were jolly, and Willie and Joamie cute
Baie dankie julle, en geniet dit! ..
Nick & Diné – Diemerskraal, Wellington
Nick and Diné wanted to host a memorable celebration – a goal they certainly achieved. Loads of laughter, loads of fun and a setting which just plainly allowed for this. It was a brilliant day and a well deserved unforgettable evening for not just Mr and Mrs Bennet, but to all those who [...]
Marcel & Gabby – Barons Estate, Cape Town
I never really met Marcel or Gabby before their wedding day. They are both from Kimberly and contacted me a while back to photograph their wedding. I really enjoyed their day and it was great to be amongst such special family and friends of theirs. Enjoy your holiday and hope to visit you in Kimberly [...]
Wiehan & Mari – Opstal, Rawsonville
Toe ek begin om deur Wiehan en Mari se troufoto’s te werk kon ek nie ophou giggel nie – want hulle lag heeltyd! Dis die perfekte opsomming van hul dag. ‘n Lag-feesviering van hierdie twee se liefde.
Hulle was so opgewonde om te trou en almal was so opgewonde om daar te wees. Oral is trane [...]
Coenie & Elzanne – Hermanus River Farm, Kleinmond
Where do I start? I met Coenie and Elzanne about 8 months ago when they asked me to do an Engagement shoot (view photo’s here). They then asked me to photograph their wedding. They put together an amazing wedding at the Hermanus River Farm about 6km past Kleinmond. It is a farm with the most [...]
