A more perfect day has never existed.

Kim and Dyl, THANK YOU for all the laughs, the f-bombs, being a perfect couple, drooling over a Robbie Williams, the champagne, the butts, the decor, the cake and running around like crazy to catch the BANG. It was the most amazing day!

Venue: @kayandmonty
Decor: @dustypinkevents

I am gonna tackle December like this one. Badass to bone! With my shades and shooting bubbles of happiness.

Happy December everyone.

With 10 weddings and I don’t even know how many family and couple shoots. Let’s slay, laugh, spray champagne, dance, eat cake, create everlasting memories and of course let’s make BANGERS!!!

It’s been a while, but I can tell you I have bee

It’s been a while, but I can tell you I have been working like a Trojan to get all my wedding done and dusted before the REAL madness of December hits.

I have three more to get to. But this shot was from that wedding in the bush, where we died of the heat, saw two beautiful humans get married, got a banging sunset, drove back in thunder, lightning and rain. It was magical!

An appreciation post, that has taken me over a wee

An appreciation post, that has taken me over a week to write and it became a novel that I will keep to myself. But such a milestone was never was a goal, it happened with a lot of luck, SO much hard work, friend and family support that can not be seen. It’s a messages at midnight to check in if I got home safe, the coffee runs, the snack drop offs with a hug, it’s the hot bottle in my bed after a wedding, it’s the flowers to brighten the office, it’s “how you doing, need anything from town” message, it’s the shares and comments on social media and the understanding when I go quiet, because I am drowning in editing. I love you all so much.

300 weddings, elopements and vow renewals that brought me out of my shell and ignited a passion that was dormant for most of my life.

I f@@king love your love stories. And if I have been lucky to have you as a bridal couple, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing one of the best days of your life with a complete stranger.

Ulrica and Shaun, my first wedding and I was so nervous, thank you. I’ll never forget that day. Alrene and Rob, you two where my deciding wedding if I could do this. I can’t tell you how much of my success is owed to you two.

I have travelled as far as Germany for a wedding and as close to the beach in front of my house. Every single wedding has been a privilege and an honour to be part of. We battled rain and wind and 40 degree weather but we made it work, we made BANGERS. We cried together, danced together, took shots together, boy did we laugh and what memories we made!

I am glad most of my clients live far away, we would be friends, I’ll force my friendship on you 🤣 to those to live closer and have become friends, you stuck with me. Sorry not sorry. 🤣

To my ASSistants and seconds, you have made life easier on the day, your jokes have made weddings even more fun. Thank you for always making sure I am fed and watered. 🐷

And lastly, I can not take these awesome photographs without an incredible team of vendors on the day. It’s all their incredible work that makes my day a lot easier too. You are amazing at what you do!

This journey has been incredible!

Thank you

And just like that, I shoot my 300th wedding today

And just like that, I shoot my 300th wedding today.

I have many thoughts on this which deserves a proper appreciation post. But I am frantically packing and giving @3goldensattheocean lots of love before I leave to Cape St Francis.

I shall have a glass bubbles sometime today 🤣

But first, let’s make bangers!
