It’s been a year... and a bit... since this amazing West Coast wedding and I’m still thinking about this dreamy light and perfectly intimate elopement.
Let all weddings be this special, this sweet and this lovely for every couple.

Finally... a new blog post is up on my website - this time beautiful Lenie & Michael’s wedding day from last year!
Thought out details, a soft colour palette and a view to die for at Opstal Venue in Slanghoek Valley. I don’t think you could really ask for more on a day like this one...

Winter is my favourite time for beach shoots. Yes, it might mean sticking your feet into the freezing ocean, but it’s worth the beautiful photos, I promise!
The beach in winter is quiet, there is less chance of wind and you get to wear a cozy jersey - it’s a win all around, really.

A moment for the groom? ✨ 👏
I feel like in the wedding industry, we tend to forget about groom-forward images, so I make sure to try and carve out some time for the grooms to have their moment. When you’ve got a stunning bar like the one at @12apostleshotel, you make sure to make use of the space for some amazing portraits!

Fun fact! I used to work for a photography studio

Fun fact! I used to work for a photography studio that exclusively did studio sessions and school photos. So sometimes I do still get asked whether I do studio sessions, and the answer is both yes and no.
Let me explain...
I will do studio shoots for small family groups or individuals, at select natural-light studios. I won’t do large groups or sessions that require external lighting. Hiring a studio is an extra bit of admin, and an extra cost and finding a space that works can be challenging.
I do enjoy the beautiful ease of a studio, and the switch of focus from beautiful locations to little details.

The privilege to watch a family grow and change with the years is something I’ll never take for granted. The Hastings Family come out to South Africa often enough that we’re able to do catch up shoot sessions, and it’s a pleasure every.single.time.
When I see an inbox message from them, I know I’m in for something beautiful, and there is nothing more special than having somebody come back to me for photos after a year, two years or even decades. I’ve been in this long enough to know that being called on - again - is the highest honour.

Engagement shoot... but make it cinematic!
Still thoroughly enjoying these photos from Teshane & Frank’s engagement shoot, taken during their pre-wedding party with a quick sneak down to the beach for the perfect photos before the big day.

We got told off for having a loud car on this street, but looking at the photos? 1000000% worth it! I adored this very intimate elopement in March, a true balm for the soul. Surrounded by hand chosen loved ones, in a small AirBnB, with an amazing view and great food - what else could you truly ask for?

Photoshoots with very little ones can be risky, and a lot of parents just avoid doing shoots at this time because you never know if everybody is going to play along or have a tough time with it.
My suggestion is always to get the “classic” photos out of the way first, and then give the little ones a break while mom and dad have photos together before regrouping for some play at the end.
Sometimes it means you have a beloved stick in your family photos, but that’s what makes the memories 😂☀️

It may have been Marcel & Chante’s anniversary shoot, but these two cuties stole the show entirely!
I have a few dog-friendly shoot location options so you can always think about bringing your furry family along for photos!
