Chris & Charmaine | Love

So my Cuzzy, Charmaine, and her Man, Chris, were very eager to do some snazzy posing around UCT! Some UCT security guards… not so eager! So dodging them guards, we went, and searching some nooks, we found! These two have got it made! Well Done you two… what fantastic shots!! The beforehand ‘outfit craziness search’ was well worth it!! ;p Do I just L.O.V.E these red Ivy leaves… Gorgeous Char and her lashes… Damn her!… and a fig all women would die for! sheesh …’these boots are made for walkin’ …some funky reflections! this little creation takes some serious concentration 😉

A Celebration | Katherine and Anthony | Cape Town Wedding Photographer

Katherine and Anthony tied the knot in the quaint little town of Paternoster, up the West Coast. A real Gem! So along with Heathyr I went for a little weekend venture. It really was a special day with very personalised touches. Katherine was given her mom’s beautiful umbrella, of which she had used on her wedding day, for walking down the isle. Gorgeous. During the ceremony, the wedding bands, tied together with ribbon were passed around the congregation for each person to place their blessing upon. So very special. As the wind never aloud a beach ceremony, the couple decided to take their vows alone on the beach – it really was so special to witness. AND as the couple came together as one, they poured two different colour sands into one vase which will remain an ornament in their new home together; a reminder of their special bond. If you are not weepy by now… ;p Here you are, the witnesses to this special day. I hope you enjoy! A very gorgeous bride… The joining of two… 😉 The stunning Heathyr Huss in action! 😉 Oh my, the cake! *sigh* The good ol funnies!

A Celebration | Jolandi and Leigh | Cape Town Photographer

Oh YES it is, another tying of the knot!! I was lucky enough to be chosen by the very talented Roelien Visser from Finishing Touch consultants as her second shooter/assistant for the day! The celebrations took part at Skilpadvlei Wine Estate in the gorgeous winelands of Stellenbosch – just on my doorstep ;D Now this wedding, very cute and wonderful, taught me some valuable lessons! 1. Take FOOD and WATER silly! Its a Loooong day! 2. Boots are a NO NO… I am soo avoiding buying myself a pair of those ghastly CROCS… hmm 3. Natalie, most weddings have a cash bar so take… So need a dop WATER by that stage! ;D 4. BE prepared for ANYTHING… I must say, being an assistant is quite comfy, no pressure, no need to think up some corny poses or even tell anyone to say the dreaded CHEEEEESE! But wait, you may just be asked to take the couple or girls/guys on your OWN and snap! What?! No Way?! A lot more challenging than I thought! Thank you Roelien, for allowing me this opportunity to discover and learn! Enjoy the snaps folks!

Patenoster Travels | Patenoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse | Cape Town Photographer

On a recent Wedding venture I found myself in the gorgeous little town of Patenoster, up the Cape West Coast. What a G.E.M! A very tiny little fishing village in nowhere land… ahh Gorgeous! I am so in love. Not much seems to happen in this town except some weddings and well, fishing… 😉 On a breakfast invite, myself and Heathyr (my grand prof. photog :D) paid a visit to the Patenoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse and of course the sucker I am for decor and pretty thing that I can photograph… huh, breakfast?! oh yes, that is why we are here right… In an attempt to remain composed I quietly ate my breakfast and admired my surroundings, and then snuck in a few shots…. 😉 Quickly! Seriously NEED to go back there!!

A Celebration | Nazli and Russel | Tie the knot

In more ways than one this dear wedding was a CELEBRATION! The joining of two hearts and two family and dum dum dum… MY FIRST WEDDING as a Photographer’s Assistant! The fantastic Heathyr Huss asked me to assist her at this wedding and was VERY kind to allow me to whip my own Cam over my shoulder *BIG grin*. YES! I was super stoked! The 24th of September 2011, one day before my very own first wedding Anniversary, I joined Heathyr on this adventure filled day! Oh boy, the nerves were going crazy and of course I didnt know what to do where and felt completely flusted, but in the end, what great fun it was!! Wow, I have a new found respect for Wedding Photographers! Actually, ALL Photographers! Before I set foot on this journey, I was clueless (for loss of a better word, but so TRUE)! I even asked some non-pro friends to Photograph my own wedding, not even thinking twice about the huge task I was asking of them! Man O Man! Well, let me just say, friends, think about the Photographer’s job. You have expectations right, as a customer. You want stunning pics of course. The Photographer has […]
