Abby & Kenneth the lucky winners of my couple shoot giveaway! I couldn’t have asked for a more awesome, fun loving, deserving and genuinely in love couple! Thank you Abby and Kenneth!
Spending a beautiful sunset at Brenton on Sea in Knysna with Caileigh and Mike for their engagement shoot, we laughed, sprayed champagne, laughed some more and took one or two bangers!
I believe in LOVE! This is Lara and Jess’s love overflow engagement shoot on Robberg Nature Reserve in Plettenberg Bay, the Garden Route. I am so honoured to be part of their love story!
So I finally got to photograph Chelsi’s wedding dress. What an amazing dress it is! I honestly couldn’t think of a better location than my beloved Robberg Nature Reserve. Once again this is Chelsi & Josh!
Are you available for our Trash The Dress shoot in Sossusvlei?When Dominique first messaged me back in October 2018, she said, “I have this crazy idea”. She didn’t have to say more. I just knew I was GOING! And go I did! Dominique’s idea was that she would back her Wedding Dress in her backpack during their honeymoon in Namibia (and a bit in South Africa), and as she rightfully said, I am only wearing my dress for one day and it’s not enough. We chatted from that moment and throwing around ideas, dates and locations. So, 5000km travelled, two flat tyres, we got stuck in the sand, camped for three nights, paid for extremely expensive internet, lived off Zoo Biscuits, coke light, chicken breast, begging the weather gods for clouds and one AMAZING COUPLE!This is the magic we created at the canyons, Dune 40, Deadvlei, Big Mamma and Sossusvlei.
Sherri & Johan’s sunset engagement shoot took place on the secluded beach of Keurboomstrand, Plettenberg Bay. Their Maltese, Valentino stole the show. Can’t wait for their wedding day and doughnut wall on the 27th April 2019!
I am so glad I finally got to meet Shannon and Dawie. We photographed their fun and relaxed engagement shoot at the Cairnbrogie Diary Farm, just outside of Plettenberg Bay in the Garden Route. I don’t think I have ever laughed so much! From trying to create dust, catching the sunset, getting lost in the Blair Witch Project Forest, fighting the wind and of course getting really really close to them. They handled it like pros! All I can say is, ROLL ON 22 JUNE 2019
After months of planning this moment with Kamil, he got on one knee and asked his beautiful Kiara to marry him. As always, my Robberg Nature Reserve was the location and she didn’t disappoint with most stunning cotton candy clouds sunset. What an afternoon!
Let the wedding weekend celebrations continue! Chelsi and Josh’s Trash the Dress shoot took place at the secluded rocking beach of Forest Hall Estate. This shoot will be remembered as one of my Top 3 without a doubt. Chelsi and Josh not only are you two too beautiful to look at, but you both knew exactly how to work my camera and she liked it!
There is no bigger compliment for a photographer, when a couple returns to you for another shoot. I was there when Lance got on his knee to ask Karlien to marry him in the pine forest of Tsitsikamma. Unfortunately I was already booked for their wedding date, but they returned to the Garden Route for their honeymoon and we did a little trash the dress shoot on my favourite playground, Robberg Nature Reserve.
Nina & Justin’s couple shoot took place in Nature’s Valley, we hiked up to Pig’s Head where we enjoyed the most spectacular views over the ocean and lagoon. We had so many laughs are we replicated the Titanic Open Arms scene, laughed about being awkward, moved other people who were there before us and fought the wind only to enjoy the last few moments with smoke bombs and crossing the lagoon back.
It was a 04h00 wake up call for this sunrise shoot on Robberg Nature Reserve, but for my cousin Claudia who has found her one in Chris, I would do it every day! We had to fight the elements of the east wind, but we managed to get a beautiful sunrise and I got to tell Chris to stop kissing! (:
