Craig & Tash at iZulu Hotel

In Love

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...]

Khaya and Kwandile at Cranford Country Lodge

Kwandile outside the Cranford Chapel just before the service

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...]

Michael and Cynthia at Gowrie Farm Nottingham Road

MIchael and Cynthia at Gowrie Farm

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...]

Cameron and Caitlin at Netherwood

Cameron and Caitlin's first dance

I always look forward to photographing at Netherwood as it has such variety and potential for beautiful photographs especially for a wedding.  The hardest part about going to a wedding venue often is fighting the urge to do the same photographs as before as that would be so easy so I made sure that I used some places that I hadn't before.  It was tricky out in the open due to … [Read more...]

Leon and Caryn at Cranford Country Lodge

The bridal party outside the chapel at Cranford Country Lodge

Leon and Caryn were the calmest and most relaxed couple that you could ask for.  They just wanted me to capture the day as it happened with as little fuss and interference as possible, my dream clients.  The whole idea behind the day was to have it done their way and to spend it with their family and closest friends.  The cherry on top was when I saw the menu which had Bunny … [Read more...]

Amalesh and Tashmeen at the Orient Hall in Durban

Amalesh and Tashmeen at the beach

Amalesh and Tashmeen were a super cool couple to photograph as they were happy and willing to do anything and didn't mind working up a sweat to get some great photographs.  We planned the photoshoot for early on the Saturday morning as there wouldn't be any time in between the service and reception which is quite normal for Indian weddings.  I was quite surprised when they … [Read more...]

Dhesen and Selena at the ICC Durban

Dhesen outside the Hilton Hotel

It was a pleasure catching up with the Naidoo family again as I feel like part of their family already. We did the Photoshoot a couple of days before the wedding due to time constraints on the day and ended up having fun walking around the Oyster Box using all the passages, paintings, and abundant backdrops that we found.  Selena's night before party went off smoothly, at … [Read more...]

Franklyn and Evangelene at Mt Edgecombe

Franklyn and Evangelene through the long grass and into the morning sun

This wedding was full of surprises, of the human kind.  Franklyn and Evangelene knew that we would have no time on the day to do a photoshoot, actually we ended up with a ten minute shoot but that doesn't count, so we arranged to do their creative shoot a few days before the actual wedding day.  They went along with one of my suggestions and although I did warn them of the … [Read more...]

Jason and Kate at The Rain Farm Game and Lodge

Kate in a fairytale setting

I was a little apprehensive before the wedding as I had not met with Jason and Kate yet.  Firstly I wouldn't know what they looked like and secondly we would not have had a chance to meet and discuss the finer details of the day.  It is not the ideal way to do things but sometimes that is just what happens.  I felt at ease from the minute I met Jason and Kate at The Rain … [Read more...]
