Durban photographers
Ridwaan and Aysha asked me if I would do their photoshoot for them on their honeymoon in the Drakensberg. No problem. I spent most of the day in the the car but it was worth the drive just seeing the breathtaking scenery of the berg once again. Wow we live in s special country. Unfortunately we picked the hottest day for the shoot along with a clear blue sky which may … [Read more...]
The weather looked promising when we left Durban on route to Providence in the KZN Midlands for Thomas and Janine's wedding, if any thing it was too hot. Fern however gave us some warnings that the weather was going to change quite quickly in the afternoon and hoped that we would finish the photographs early before the garden festivities were abandoned but luckily it held out … [Read more...]
I photographed Scott and Tarryn's engagement shoot not so long ago so we were all familiar with each other and new exactly what was wanted on the day. They made things really easy by all getting ready at the main house at Netherwood so it was a case of running upstairs or downstairs depending on who was ready first. Everyone seemed pretty chilled and things went quite … [Read more...]
It’s always great to get referral shoots, as was the case with Craig and Tash’s wedding on Saturday. It’s obviously good for business, but it’s also great to see familiar friendly faces among the guests. When I met with the couple on Friday, the weather was still a little ominous but we needn’t have worried – Saturday produced a glorious day. The late afternoon … [Read more...]
The weather turned out perfect for the photoshoot of Glydd and Carla with a light drizzle and some mist to add to the romantic setting. I think we spent most of the time on the shoot talking about who we remembered from school after Glydd remembered my name and face from standard 6, he has a memory like an elephant. It is always a challenge getting to know a couple and to … [Read more...]

I cannot lie, this was a tough wedding due purely to the weather. Richard and Samantha and the rest of the bridal party were unbelievable as they were stomping through mud, running in the fields while the rain came pouring down. I did not mind but it is difficult trying to keep water off the camera and especially the lens and then every now and then you get some droplets … [Read more...]
It is becoming a habit where I have not met the couple before the day but I knew that if they had chosen Cranford as their venue then every thing would be just fine. The weather on the way up to the Midlands was dodgey to say the least so when Khaya and Kwandile had not arrived by the time we were supposed to be shooting the getting ready part, I got a little nervous. And … [Read more...]
Unfortunately I did not meet Michael and Cynthia before the day which always makes it a little odd on the day when you are trying to guess who the bride and groom are(obviously before they are dressed as that would be quite easy to spot then) but after a few minutes of chatting we all felt comfortable and relaxed. Gowrie Farm is a beautiful venue for a wedding with the … [Read more...]
Wow did the weather let us down on this one. The service was meant to be outside overlooking the stunning valley opposite Woodridge but the wind was howling and the rain started pouring down before the service was meant to start. Thankfully their was the pretty chapel that we could use as plan B. Fikile was devastated at first but with a bit of encouragement from her … [Read more...]
