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 [...]
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 [...]
Nick & Bronwyn – Backsberg, Stellenbosch
Nick and Bronwyn
What a special day: Great friends, great venue, great weather and a absolutely stunning couple – like Fred said – you won’t find a better fitting couple than Nick and Bron. You guys don’t just look amazing together, you are amazing together.
The wedding took place at the gorgeous Backsberg, which definitely ensured for [...]
Jaco & Jeanine – Klein Joostenberg Deli, Stellenbosch
Jaco and Jeanine hosted a very small, intimate wedding at the Klein Joostenberg Deli just outside Stellenbosch. The mere fact that it was such a small wedding meant that all the emphasis was on the celebration and gathering of friends, family and loved ones – going back to what a wedding is supposed to be.
Although [...]
Emile & Nicole – The Mill House, Newlands
Mr and Mrs Dreyer’s wedding took at the Josephine Mill House’s garden, right next to Newlands Rugby Stadium, with the only cheering and celebration taking place outside the stadium! What a lovely day – people with only the nicest of words, and the greatest of blessings for this high-school sweetheart couple.
May your road be blessed, [...]
Johan & Rozanne – Croydon, Somerset West
Johan and Rozanne got married at the relatively new Croydon Estate, just outside Somerset-West. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for this heart-warming, intimate celebration of family and friends, with some serious dance moves going on in-between the wine barrels! With a lot of smiles and laughs going round, this amazing day certainly left me [...]
Dale & Letitia – Breede Escape, Bonnievale
So the High-School sweet hearts finally got married! A beautiful day filled with love, laughter, sunshine and bright smiles… The wedding was held at the beautiful Breede Escape, just outside Bonnievale on the banks of the Breede River – beautiful scenery for a memorable day. Mr and Mrs Bredekamp, may you have an awesome honeymoon [...]
[Video]: Stefan & Anja – Kanu, Stellenbosch
The relatively new Canon EOS 5D MkII has HD video capability, and although I’ve had the camera for quite some time now, I never get the chance to shoot video – mostly because it is always so busy at a wedding!
But on Saturday, with my two good friends Stefan and Anja getting married, I decided to [...]
Stefan & Anja – Kanu, Stellenbosch
This was one of the funnest weddings ever!
Anja and I have been good friends from our first year at Varsity – and at that time Anja and Stefan have been dating for about 37 years, so when the time came I was super excited (and honoured) to take their wedding photos.
It was an absolutely perfect [...]
Barney & Lyndsey – Monkey Valley, Noordhoek
What a cosmopolitan wedding! Lyndsey (South Arican) and Barney the Irishman (very proud of the rugby win over the Springboks), are both working in Dubai, but still chose the beautiful Monkey Valley to host their beautiful day – inviting friends and family from all over the world to come and share in the joy.
And what [...]
Carl & Imke – Webersburg, Stellenbosch
Carl and Imke’s absolutely stunning day took place at the beautiful Webersburg, just outside Stellenbosch. Every little detail was planned to perfection to make this day super special! Even the factors outside our control seemed to be planned – a cristal clear, windless and cloudless day.
I met Imke while we were studying at Varsity, and [...]
Carl & Imke – Engagement Shoot, Cape Town
Carl and Imke are getting married next week at the beautiful Webersburg – for which they need a few photos that will be printed on canvas as part of the decor for the big day. We decided to head to Long Street to get a few shots, and also to get used to being in [...]
Craig & Natalie – The Conservatory, Franschoek
Blessed, blessed, blessed! Thats all that can be said of this amazing couple! Blessed with the most perfect weather on their wedding day, blessed with a loving family and group of friends, and blessed to have each other to love!
The wedding took place at The Conservatory – a brand new (and still relatively unknown) venue [...]
Hylton & Petro – Steenbras, Gordon’s Bay
Hylton and Petro are both chefs of profession – something that was quite clear on their big day. Not only was the catering amazing (Food Fanatics), but their keen eye for detail, combined with the ability to create a magical, warm and loving evening for all resulted in certainly the most special wedding in a [...]
Callie & Thina – Kronenburg, Paarl
Saturday was one of those rare, absolutely perfect days – the weather, the setting, and of course, the couple. Callie and Thina planned and lived the perfect wedding day, and we were all fortunate to be witness to it. Of course having a beautiful venue (Kronenburg), and stylish flowers (To-Nett’s) helps, but it was Callie [...]
Gerbrand & Gerdia – Breede River Lodge, Bonnievale
Dié tweetjies is darem verlief! Van die eerste dag wat ek hulle ontmoet het by Basic Bistro kon hul nie ophou oorborrel vir mekaar nie. Gerbrand met sy glimlag en Gerdia met haar giggel! Dankie G-G vir ‘n pragtige dag – die liefde straal werklik uit julle verhouding, en die “excitement” uit Gerdia se skoentjies!
Geniet [...]
Hannes & Loeis – Botaniese Tuine, Kleinmond
‘n Bruidspaar wat hul opgewondenheid nie kon inhou nie, gemeng met die baie spesiale boodskap waarmee Loeis se pa die tweetjies self getrou het gekruis met die pragtige Kleinmond – dit was werklik ‘n baie spesiale dag! Dankie vir Loeis se twee sussas wat die couple shoot so extra exciting gemaak het!
Kliek gerus op die [...]
Andro & Marelette – Angelicas, Durbanville
A short and sweet wedding, showing the excitement of getting married in these two’s eyes! We were lucky that the weather kept up this day, and as a result the clouds provided an opportunity to get a few dramatic shots just to add extra spice to the already in-locw couple’s shoot.
Thank you guys for the [...]
Giancarlo & Kelly – Skilpadvlei, Stellenbosch
After been together for a very long time these two finally took the big step and ensured a beautiful day (and evening) for all who attended. The long drive from the Kenridge church (Durbanville) back to Stellenbosch for the reception at Skilpadvlei meant we had little time for the couple shoot, but these two certainly [...]
Chris & Stephé – Klein Genot, Franschoek
Why wait 8 or nine months to get married? That’s exactly what Chris en Stephé decided when they planned the most beautiful wedding at this stunning (Klein Genot) venue in a mere 8 weeks!
And when we got to doing the couple shoot, I could see why they didn’t want to wait so long – they [...]
Derek & Tracy – Langverwacht, Stellenbosch
Although Derek and Tracy only got married in March this year, they already asked if I would take their photos in October last year (when I was still doing an assistant job with Wil at Peartree Photography).
Of course I said yes – who wouldn’t want to be a part these two energetic, loving people’s big [...]
