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...]
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...]
You can only stare at a computer for so long so I escaped the comforts of the air conditioned office to go and capture some daily happenings in Durban's city centre. It is always a challenge to try and find something new and not to photograph the same scene as before so with that in mind I took these: … [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...]
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 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...]
That's right! The poles are up and the Wallabies Tri-Nations squad were put through their paces under the iconic arch yesterday ahead … View >>
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 … View >>
