I try to never let the rain cloud(love this pun in case you never caught it) my enthusiasm at a wedding but I was feeling so disappointed and negative on the drive down to Lee and Tammy's wedding at Umtamvuna River Lodge. That venue is so picturesque and you just want to try get pics using the beautiful scenery and with the rain pouring down I felt like it was going to be a … [Read more...]
Kyle was born two weeks or so premature and I knew he would be small but I have forgotten just how small babies can be(you wouldn't think so after having three of our own). Even his baby grows which were the smallest sizes were way too big. Anthony had even bought a superman baby grow for Kyle to come home in from the hospital but as you can see in the pic it was just too … [Read more...]
It is always a pleasure catching up with the Dowden family after all the weddings we have shared together. Brad was heading back to the UK and at the last minute they all decided to have some portraits done on the day they were leaving. Unfortunately Miller took ill the night before so it was a struggle for him, it's hard enough smiling in front of a camera on a normal day … [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...]

I was excited to meet Paul and Anna's new addition to the family, Andrew and to also photograph Regan and Katelyn again. Andrew was very content and loving life until he got made to pose in front of the camera which is quite understandable for someone new to the world. Luckily his brother Regan has a calming effect on him so we had to get him to stand nearby and keep him … [Read more...]
I was quite happy before the Christmas break to leave the camera in the cupboard for a while but changed my mind when we went off to the Midlands area for a few days. We stayed at the beautiful Cranford Country Lodge thanks to Alex and Debbie's kind generosity. I am always there photographing weddings so I saw the place through different eyes and couldn't stop thinking how … [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...]
Sarah and Robert had very specific ideas and thoughts on how their day was going to pan out so I was quite relieved when the weather … View >>
