I have known Chelsea for quite a few years now, and when she asked if I could shoot her and her friends' matric dance photographs I gladly agreed. So last Friday the 19th April, I found myself inside a very vibrant house with loud music playing and rain thundering down outside, surrounded by parents, family and the impeccably turned out Matric Dance attendees. The … [Read more...]
Last night was the much anticipated St John's festival, celebrating the life of St John the Baptist, which all parents and children eagerly look forward to each year. It comprises of the Primary School children performing in the school hall which was more packed than Moses Mabhida Stadium at Top Gear.

On Friday I ventured up to the Roseway Waldorf School to take some photographs of all the children, and teachers, dressed up as their favourite characters from books. I quickly got caught up in the excitement as I saw Robin Hood, Snow White, Princess Jasmin and many more come running past off to their classrooms. Amongst the festivities was the excerpt from the play Oliver … [Read more...]

During the event, the flags of each of the countries … [Read more...]

The venue, decor and food were great, but the highlight of the evening for me was to see Graham and Luellen's pride in their beautiful daughter and the fun and laughter they share together. Guys, you can all be very proud of your family! The speeches, as could be expected … [Read more...]
Friday night saw The Parlotones rock the Moses Mabhida Stadium at a private function for about 500 guests. With Ed Jordan as the MC and a host of supporting acts like Relo, Liquideep, Stone & Speedy, Thembi Seete and DJ Zinhle, the evening was a huge success, reinforcing the stadium as a world-class venue for corporate functions. … [Read more...]
Lou celebrated her 30th birthday today with family and friends at Green With Envy and, while some of the guests looked a little suspect (read Adrian), it was a great bash. The Lady and The Tramp theme worked well with some beautiful ladies and some really dodgy tramps. Richard and Lou were surrounded by happy people and good times, and the spread provided by Green With Envy … [Read more...]
