Dylan and Andrea’s St Francis Wedding
We all love a good story, and the story of Dylan and Andrea is a great one. Andrea was in the process of making plans to join her parents in Atlanta, Georgia before meeting Dylan for breakfast for the first time. It was never supposed to develop into anything serious, but the heart wants what it wants and Dylan also...
Wedding Workflow from Sleeklens
As a photographer I use Adobe Lightroom as my main image editor. It’s a very powerful program with relative ease of use. There are also a number of presets available which offer the user a number of themes to choose from. I was recently introduced to a Wedding Workflow from Sleeklens. They offer a vast array of workflow options which...
simple wedding on the beach
Sometimes in life we crave the simple things on offer. Sometimes all you really want is a simple wedding on a scluded beach surrounded by family. That is exactly what Holle and Rainer wanted when they planned their wedding in Parrot Cay. The same can be said about their wedding photos. They wanted uncomplicated images deviating from the norm. It was an...
dream destination wedding
No matter where in the world I've been to photograph wedding's, they all share one common trait; a higher sense of emotion. Some more than others, but I'm yet to attend one lacking in emotion. It can't be scripted and it can't be contained. Your emotions are true and real and when you're sharing such a beautiful moment with friends...
Marrakech Engagement
Mandy and Stephen chose Riad Magellan in Marrakech for the location to have their engagement shoot as this was a place they had visited in the past. In fact, the couple have been to Marrakech five times in total and have completely fallen in love with the place. It is easy to see why. We did too. Hot sun, gorgeous...
A Wedding in Marrakech
Food, oh the food. Never have I eaten so well on a trip abroad. *I am sure of it!* Tagine after tagine... mint tea after mint tea... We have just returned to a very chilly UK after spending 6 days in Marrakech, Morocco. Sometimes I feel the need to pinch myself when I am wondering around a luxury villa preparing...
Zanzibar
I often giggle to myself when I think back to our honeymoon in Zanzibar back in 2007. You can just picture it, two newlyweds strolling along the beach, digital SLR camera's in hand, taking time to compose the shots just right.... Ummmm not really what you would picture on a typical honeymoon is it? Then again, we are not so...
Irish Eyes Are Smiling
When an excited Aoife announced to me on Skype that her sister was getting married in County Wicklow, just outside Dublin on a Monday in August and that I absolutely HAD to shoot the wedding I really couldn't wait. I have known the Cahill family for years and grew up with them back in Durban before their entire family relocated...
A Bride, A Horse and A Waterfall
Geba Gorge is an hour's drive down into the center in a 4 x 4. Kabryn & David came up with the concept for this shoot as the Gorge is a place where Kabryn spends a lot of time riding her horse. We had to obtain special permission from the owner to gain access in our two vehicles as the...
A morning at the Beach {Kabryn and David}
Due to the baking hot African sun we headed down to the beach about an hour or so after dawn for Trash The Dress style shoot with the Kabryn & David spending some quality time together and submerging themselves into the Indian Ocean. This is an intimate portrait of the couple and I feel that you can really see the...
Harvey’s Florida Rd Reception {Kabryn & David}
Designer shades, check. Limo, check. Red carpet, check! This was a reception entrance like no other. The bride and her ladies were in the white Limo and the boys with David in the black Limo. All of the guests lined the street outside Harvey's Restaurant in Florida Road with hands full of confetti, ready to welcome the bridal party. Music...
Wedding in Durban – Part 1 {Kabryn and David}
Mormon wedding ceremony's are held in temples where no photography is permitted and so the format of this wedding may seem a little unusual. Kabryn and David had flown up to Jo'berg the day before for the religious part of their wedding celebration and had therefore already seen each other in their wedding outfits. It seemed fitting then that the...
Wedding at Tala Game Reserve {Part 2}
Time was also set aside for a game drive with the Groomsmen and Bridesmaids. Wendy was particularly keen to include a giraffe in one or two of her shots. A rhino would also suffice. We did come across some rhino before too long. Unfortunately there was a calf amongst them. Approaching the rhino it became apparent that beneath a seemingly...
