The bride did all the decor and planning on her own and made her own wedding cake which was so unbelievably beautiful, she is a very skilled pastry chef. Their wedding was filled with close friends and family, a great deal of whom came with them, all the way from Dubai, so special!  Thank you for sharing your big day with me and just being so great the whole day, hope that you enjoy reliving it all through these images xxx

Tom and Jen are undoubtedly a gorgeous couple, so much so that they were featured on the cover of a magazine. I may be a bit biased though, as Jen is my sister, after all. Love you guys, you are amazing together and even though it’s going to be tough, we are all rooting for you, you guys rock!

Andre and Kirstin’s wedding vow renewal was a very special one for me, partly because Kirst and I have been friends since school and also because it was my first trip to the Kruger. Their bush inspired wedding was held at Grand Kruger Lodge in Marloth Park, just outside the Kruger National Park, on the Crocodile River. It was an unbelievable setting for such a happy celebration, with the bride and groom all the way from Australia and so many friends and family from all over the world joining them. I am so glad that you chose me to be a part of this fantastic celebration, you two are such a perfect couple. xx

Adam and Elizma remind me of the saying, “The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation that you ever had.” They have a magnetic kind of quiet contentedness when they are with each other. Elizma and Adam tied the knot on a gorgeous sunny day at Canelands in Salt Rock, just north of Durban. Huge congratulations to both of you, it was such fun shooting your wedding xxx

 Mike and Chelsea got married at the beautiful Palm Dunes Bach Lodge, in Blythedale on the KZN North Coast. The decor was seaside themed and every element was clearly carefully thought out. It was a very relaxed day so full of smiles, these two are so in love and it just showed all the way though the day. Congrats to the gorgeous Mr & Mrs Bracher xx

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the Adendorf’s when they came down from Jo’burg for a coastal holiday. They have the sweetest little girls who were so much fun. Even though it was pretty windy, we had the best light – so many favourites out of this shoot, but this last one just gets me, how cute is she! So great to meet you and your beautiful family Loren xx
