Lee-anne’s dress love session and Sultan

Lee-anne is just the sweetest and most easy-going person who also happens to love horses – especially Sultan (and who wouldn’t? He is a beaut!) We had a stunning afternoon. I didn’t get to shoot this special lady’s wedding but I am glad we could do this shoot and show her dress a little more love. Enjoy.

Ken and Kim

Kim and Ken recently married at the beautiful Woodridge Estate in the KZN Midlands. Despite the rain their day was relaxed and lovely. Kim and Ken were delightful to work with and I wish them all the best for their future together.

This shoot was a little different for me as it was my first newborn session captured outside of the studio. There was plenty of natural light and space (my two main concerns) and we had a great morning together. Jen and Michael were so chilled and Jaxon was gorgeous.

Loving the decor ♥

Even one of the cute fur kids decided to join in ♥

Erick and Katja celebrated their wedding day in an intimate ceremony attended by their closest friends and family. The weather was perfect and even Katja’s gorgeous horse played along for a couple of photo’s. Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Rhino love

In 2011, 448 rhino’s were poached for their horns. By the 20th of March 2012, 135 rhino have already been killed by poachers for their horns. At this rate the rhino will be extinct in less than 10 years. During a recent work trip up to Zululand we had the opportunity to photograph these beautiful, gentle giants. I asked the ranger why safely dehorning rhinos wasn’t more of an option to protect them against poachers, his reply was grim: “The poachers will still kill them even if it is only the stump left, it is believed that the stump has the most medicinal value.” A high-ranking Vietnamese official publicly claimed that rhino horn cured him of his cancer. Rhino horn is now worth more than gold. A tracker (not the actual poacher) can earn themselves up to R15 000. The horn itself could sell for around 40 000 Euros! It has been suggested that legalizing the trade of rhino horn and flooding the market with all the old stock gathered over the years may kill the demand. Whatever the solution, something needs to be done fast before all we have left are pictures.

This female and her calf of 4 years lost their male companion to poaching last year.

Rowan and Mary-Lyn get married at Hartford

Hartford House is charming in every season and it was an absolute treat to work there again photographing Rowan and Mary-Lyn’s Summer wedding. The wedding was a stylish yet informal event with a relaxed feel. Rowan and Mary-lyn said their vows surrounded by their nearest and dearest, in a beautiful garden ceremony under a canopy of Oak and sycamore trees. It was pretty much your perfect day. Mary-lyn and Rowan you were both delightful to work with and we wish you all the very best for your future together.

Jono and Lara get married (part 1)

Lara: “Shoot from tanning position” Me: “Really!?” Lara: “really.” Me: “What about family pictures?” Lara: “Family photo’s? Those are boring!” This wedding was unconventional, unconstrained, uncomplicated and lovely, a true celebration of love without all the frills and fuss. Jono and Lara you stayed true to who you are and and we love you guys! Congratulations ♥

A few old, a few new, but this keeps me pretty busy when I am not shooting or editing weddings.

Andrew and Caitlin celebrated their wedding day on Andrew’s parents beautiful farm which also happens to be a popular wedding venue – Thorpe Lodge. It was a stunning day and the rain even held out until after the creative shoot. It was lovely to share this special day with you both. Thank you.
