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...]
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 take for granted the job of the car guards down at the beach front area in Durban. I, along with many surfers, cyclists, runners, etc, just pitch up at the beach and dash off to go for a surf leaving my car keys with the car guards without giving it another thought. This can be from 4:30am or 6pm and they are always there. I have not had any incidents since they took … [Read more...]
Over the past few weeks I've been busy doing shoots with models, and have finally had a moment to sit down and blog about it. First up we have Jessica Shuttleworth and Duncan Meyer, of S.I.D Photography fame. Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and I was very happy with how the shoot went. Duncan wanted in on a few photos so he could practice his modeling (I'm kidding) and … [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...]
I set my alarm for 3:20am this morning to get up to go do a sunrise shoot and made sure that I went to bed early(sounding old already). I was so apprehensive about not hearing my alarm on my watch that I kept waking every hour to check the time so by the time it went off I was quite relieved, that I hadn't missed it, but also tired as anything. I rushed off to meet the … [Read more...]
The DuBoirs is a hidden gem of a venue only a short drive away from the city of Durban. It boasts an ideal retreat location with perfectly manicured gardens, enhanced by the soothing sounds of its cascading nearby waterfall. Although close to the city, it offers a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The estate offers a sanctuary to rejuvenate your … [Read more...]
It has been a long time since a South West or cold front came through so when it did every surfer made sure they made it down to the … View >>
Yuveer and Sadika were having a traditional Hindu service(the 3 hour one) which is then immediately followed by the reception so we had … View >>
