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 [...]

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 [...]

Chris & Emma – Engagement Shoot

Chris and Emma are extreme people.  It seems like they’re not scared of anything. I could tell them to bungee jump and they would do it. So having them for an engagement shoot was great.  These two are getting married at the end of the month (Whoohoo!) and we got together to try and capture [...]

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! ..

Hanneke – Model/Fashion Portfolio

There are few things as inspiring as someone who has decided to follow their dreams.  Hanneke is one of those people.  After dreaming about it for a while and having numerous people asking her  if she was in fact a model, she decided to set up a fashion/model portfolio to take the big step into [...]

Christian & Katharina – Hawksmoor House, Stellenbosch

I did Christian and Katharina’s engagement shoot a few weeks ago. And as I got to know them, their sincere love for one-another, their aimed energy to have fun, and off course seeing what beautiful photos they make, I was SO looking forward to their wedding day! It was gorgeous! They were gorgeously in love [...]

Willie & Nadene – Skilpadsvlei, Stellenbosch

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hennie & Susan – Akkerdraai

Hennie and Susan
Wow, what a special wedding, and also a honour to take friends’ photos! You are married! (:
Hennie and Susan got married on Susan’s parents gorgeous farmhouse just outside Stellenbosch. It made for a real intimate and fun wedding. While we had  a run around the farm, chasing the perfect sunrays of the evening, [...]

Steve & Joani – Neethlingshof

Steve and Joani
Everything worked out according to plan; on time and enough time to play out possibilities for beautiful shots.
And outside of what can be planned, the weather worked along perfectly, summery cool, and even the thick evening clouds made for a beautiful view.
Baie dankie vir die dag, Steve en Joani. Ek het dit geniet [...]

Jéan & Hesté – Engagement Shoot, Stellenbosch

They wanted a farm setting for their engagement shoot, and we were so fortunate to do it very close to where I live! Bonus, ’cause I just love the place, I know the spots, and we had freeeeedom! And after shifting the date a few times according to the weather, all worked out perfect!
I also [...]
