There’s nothing I enjoy more on a weekend than a family session – and the Pittaways were just too lovely for words! Mariana, Tulsa & little Keenan are the perfect little family and I’m still impressed with how eagerly Keenan posed for the camera!
The session ended off with a casual picnic at the botanical gardens and Tulsa entertained us with some relaxed guitar playing. It was great fun! Here’s some shots from their session:

Jani & Pieter said their vows on the 30th of November 2013 at The Blades Hotel in Roodeplaat, Pretoria. Earlier in 2013 I had an awesome urban engagement session with them in the heart of JHB’s city bowl: Jani & Pieter’s Urban Newtown Session. I knew then already their wedding day would be precious and I had a great time working with them. It was a perfect day – perfect weather and the ambience was just fantastic. Mr & Mrs Louw are a lovely couple and made sure to keep their wedding day personal by having friends’ perform songs for them and spoiling their guests with an extravagant six course meal! Their decor had an elegant French Country Chic theme and I just loved the gorgeous proteas.
Their advice for future brides & grooms is to enjoy the day and not to stress unnecessarily – it’s you and your partner’s dream coming true!

Gerhardus & Antoinette said their “I do’s” on the 29th of November 2013 at Klip River, a gorgeous venue in Vereeniging. The venue has so many beautiful photo locations and I would like to thank the staff for being so helpful – they assisted us with every part of the newlywed session and I can with all honesty say I’ve never received so much help from a venue’s staff before. Antoinette & Gerhardus are the perfect match. They go together like bread and butter! Their fun, down-to-earth personalities made the whole day a blast and I loved all the giggles they shared together. Also, I know I always say this, but I LOVED Antoinette’s wedding dress – that heart-shape detail on the back is stunning. They both looked fantastic! I also adore all the unique touches to their wedding day, for example the paper planes that were used for confetti and of course the lovely E. E. Cummings poem that they framed and hung outside the reception venue. It did start raining right after the ceremony, but fortunately it cleared up a bit and we were able to take all the shots we needed outside in Klip River’s magnificent gardens.

I’ve always been eager to cover an elopement, so when Jay & Irma contacted me about their small elopement-wedding, at Luiperdskloof Game Lodge in Bronkhorstpruit on the 9th of November 2013, I was beyond excited – and it was everything I thought it would be! Their wedding day was unpretentious & intimate and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it. Mr & Mrs Smith both looked amazing – I just adore Irma’s dress with it’s off-white ribbon! Bronkhorstspruit is a very picturesque venue and offered lovely backdrops for the photos.

I just loved the location for Miranda & Werner’s engagement photoshoot – they chose to have their couple portraits done on their family plot in Muldersdrift. I did not expect the plot to have such a wide variety of options for the photos; I was spoilt with beautiful greenery to rustic ruins to work with. It was a rainy day in Muldersdrift but this just added to the beautiful natural light we had during their session.
Miranda & Werner are enchanting together which made working with them a really great experience!
