Roz and Dawie
“Just call me Roz, Rozanne is when I’m in trouble”. I smiled. I’d kind of been expecting the same old venue to shoot at, trying to find something different to shoot without going too overboard. Making beautiful photos at a ven...
Mpopi and Rorisang at Shepstone Gardens
Shepstone is fast becoming our regular wedding venue it seems, either that or we just get a lot of cool, funky clients. Last weekend, no rain, no scorcher of a day, wedding running late – bonus, extra time, which means we get to do some killer ...
Mpopi and Rorisang – a sneak peek
Late on Sunday evening, just wrapping up the weekend, almost Christmas, almost another year has passed. Mpopi Lenake (or did it change to Ntai?) – a window lit portrait. Special thanks to friends who jump in and help when the...
Karen and Nic
Its been a hot couple of days, nights hot enough for us to have to leave the windows open, and that’s saying something in Joburg. Karen and Nic’s day was a scorcher, not the best day for the photographer to be wearing black, by the time w...
update: casalinga and helicopters
Just finished this corker of a wedding, 800+ images all finished off by hand, many late nights but it had some real killer bee stuff in there – can’t wait for these guys to see what happens when we get a full hour to do the portrait image...
Claire and Miki at Longmeadow Piano Lounge
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m kind of obsessed with natural moments, interactions between people, the moments in between. Its not a very well kept secret that the portrait session, o...
Diane and Rick at Casalinga
I’m not really too sure what to say about this one, whenever we shoot a wedding it feels like we catch a glimpse into a couple’s lives, just for a day, and the endorphines and adrenaline are infectious and we smile a lot and laugh and mes...
Taryn and Grant at The Radisson
We descended on Sandton last weekend to shoot Taryn and Grant’s second wedding, their first was in Cape Town the week before. So no ceremony shots this week. I was originally going to do the entire shoot at The Radisson – what an amazing...
The Radisson (last night)
On our way to the airport, super nervous flyer and all, been backing everything up from last night, trying to pack, make sure I have everything for the workshop, tickets, reservations, you name it, I’m sure I’m going to forget something. ...
Charine and Jannie at Swan’s Rest
Its not something that I put on my CV, but I’m very good at getting lost. Not always, in fact hardly ever, but when I get lost, I get so lost that garage attendents look at me like I just stepped out of my spaceship when I ask for directions. ...

Tamzin and Emile
October is the busiest month of the year for us, besides the usual workload we’re trying to organise a couple of destination weddings that include New Zealand, Zanzibar, Mauritius, and even some in Europe (amazing/nerve wracking for someone who...
Liesel and Darren
These guys went all out on the details. Liesel’s dress was made from her grandmother’s wedding dress, part family history, part couture, part childhood autobiography. The wedding cake was cut with a sword that Liesel’s parents used ...
Nicole and Marc at Tintswalo
It rained on Saturday, not one of those five second Johannesburg showers, but a grey-out-the-sky-bring-in-the-thunder-clouds kind of rain. I love these kind of days, heavy clouds mean the kind of soft beautiful lighting that makes everything look lik...

Joanne and Robert at Toadbury Hall
I must confess I was wishing for a highveld lightning storm, or at least some of those super dark stormy clouds, but Saturday came and it was a perfect day - the sun came out and the clouds arranged themselves into a picturesque tableux of fluffy whi...

LindyAnn and John at Summerplace (the color edition)
Ok, a couple of color images for you from LindyAnn and John’s wedding at Summerplace. I was very tempted to give them a recoloured look, like those Elizabeth Taylor movies that they recoloured, but they looked really good very natural - the lig...
LindyAnn and John at Summerplace
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I don’t sleep a lot and I tend to watch a lot of late night movies … black and white stuff from Hollywood’s golden age when the whites were more...
