Rolene literally faught for me to do her wedding pictures. I already had a booking for her wedding date, but she kept asking and believing that somehow I would do her photographs. I must say this was a bit of an ego boost to me. After realising her determination, and shooting their engagement session (view it here) I knew I had to try my best to help. My booking got cancelled and I had an opening. By this stage I thought she would already have another photographer booked, but when I got a call from her thanking me for the engagement session photos, she popped the question, and tada here are their beautiful wedding pictures! They both really enjoyed the day, it was so well organised, a beautiful reception on a boat sailing down the Vaal river. And the vintage twist was off course her own initiative, with her elegant shoes and so, so different dress reflecting her style and personality. I absolutely adore the two of them and their cute daughter. Their friends and family immediately made me feel at home. Can you believe during our photo session I forgot her bouquet under the bridge and it was gone when we returned, I felt so bad, but her mom quickly grabbed a few roses from the table and created a unique bouquet for her to throw. Not even that could steal Rolene's happiness. She never once stopped smiling!

Nolene and Hercules got married at the beautiful Morrells boutique venue in Northcliff. You might remember them from their engagement session we did earlier this year, you can view it here when you scroll down. Their day was so beautiful and the speeches where my favorite, I always learn so much when I listen to the wedding speeches. Their friends and family really love them and they both have quite a story to tell. It was lovely photographing you guys and thank you for making me feel so special!

Meet the Du Randt family, well, they don't all have the same surname, some where married and others born with another surname, but basically they all have the same grandfather and that is why I call all of them the Du Randts. They decided to do something really special for their Grandad. He is a collector of old cars and he absolutely adores his grandchildren. For his birthday they all got together and did a photo shoot of all the grandchildren and great grandchildren, and I had a garage the size of a tennis court filled with vintage cars to choose from. Any photographers dream! It was really an awesome day, everyone looked beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Something I will never forget! I knew from the moment I started that these images where going to be beautiful, and I had a ball taking them. From now on, my whole perspective of family photography will change. Something such as an old car, can really bring out the character of people. I'm excited about all my future family sessions, I have a lot up my sleeve. Thank you to everyone involved (parents as well) for making this happen, and especially Cindy, this plan was in her head a year ago and we finally made it happen!

Meet the beautiful Ivanke and her charming hubby Frans. I have actually known them both for a while. Ivanke booked me to do her Matric Farewell photos when I just started my business and there I met Frans who got me in contact with his sister to shoot her wedding. Since then I have done multiple weddings and functions where these two where present and since the first time I met them I was wondering if I would one day photograph their wedding. When Ivanke booked me I was so excited because I knew it was going to be a beautiful wedding with a lot of fun loving people. Very comforting. And I was right, the venue, the people, the decor and the company was out of this world.  Frans told me on the wedding day, a story that I told him at Ivanke's Matric Farewell about me and my hubby also high school sweethearts, and he said it stuck to him, he knew that one day he would marry his high school sweetheart. I was so flattered that he had remembered the story, my response: " I was wondering if I would do your wedding one day." So we both had a feeling that they would last forever. I hope you have a fairy-tale life together! And I hope to one day photograph your grandchildren.
