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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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!
Geniet die foto’s!
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 [...]

Oggend troues is anders. Dis vars, dis “ongejaagd” en dit voel soms meer spesiaal. Pat en Retha was geen uitsondering nie. On the Rocks bied ‘n asemrowende uitsig op Tafelberg – iets wat die gaste heeldag lank kon waardeer.
Boonop was daar na die hele dag se pret, plesier en trane nog meer as genoeg tyd [...]
All people shine on their wedding day, but few people are able to lit up everyone around them in the way that JG and Charindie did on theirs.
JG en Charindie het elke goeie ding verdien wat hulle kant toe gekom het – daar is ‘n rede hoekom hulle so ‘n ongelooflike troue gehad het – [...]
Dit was so lekker om hierdie twee vriendelike, verliefde mense se dag te kon deel met hulle. Daarme saam het Stellenbosch se weer die perfekte omstandighede gelewer vir foto’s – baie wolke, en ‘n ligte windjie! Lekker!!!
Geniet hierdie, en julel 2 se pragtige tyd vorentoe!

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
