the muse

I have had the pleasure of working with this gorgeous woman many times over the past three years. She never fails to inspire me creatively, she’s kind of my muse – thank you Sarah for putting up with me! hehe – hopefully we have many more interesting times together in the future. …So whilst wedding season is fast approaching, I have decided to encourage my incredibly talented sister Jenna Hattingh, to pick up a camera and assist me behind the lens. Both of my sisters get dragged along to most of my shoots to assist with lighting. I can’t thank them enough for all the time and effort they give to my work. The below images are captured by Jen – so beautiful, well done my sis xx

Gunslinger Slide Jam [Longboarding Event]

As I have said before … I have some pretty talented friends and some of those are longboarders … I got some shots at an event in Durban – the Gunslinger Slide Jam in Glenwood – these ladies and gents are wild … here are some of the highlights.

Mycroft Family

I met the Mycrofts at my good old fav location in Bryanston, Sandton for a family shoot that we had been trying to tie down a date for, for a good 6 months. Totally worth the wait, I don’t think I have laughed so much on a shoot, it was definitely one of my most memorable. I can’t thank you guys enough for the amazing feedback you have given me. Makes it not feel like a job at all.

The Robarts Family

I spent a warm autumn day with the Robarts’ on their family farm …. it was snowing in the Drakensberg mountains at the time, if look carefully you can see snow capped mountains in the background. The setting made me feel like I was shooting in another country, it felt so wholesome and rich (dramatic I know – haha), I really love that about this series.

The Parry’s Baby Bump

This was such a fun shoot, we tried something a little different and it helped that the location was magical.

Kat & Andrew Muir [part1]

I shot Kat and Andrew’s wedding at Verbara Lodge in May. With the winter light we had to hurry with the creative shoot and even when it got dark, we managed to make do. It seems that with each wedding I shoot it gets harder to choose which images to post, so here is part one. What a fun day. Congrats guys!

Mr & Mrs Smith

Megan and Gareth flew out from London town to tie the knot at Collisheen Estate in Ballito. It was one of the most chilled and happy occasions that I have been a part of (I am biased however as I have known the couple for many years). There was no shortage of beautiful locations for photos, a photographers playground. Congrats Megs and Pimpy xxx

Mr & Mrs Nuttall

Kait and Jon got married at Bonamanzi Game Reserve, on the gorgeous KZN North Coast. I spent many weekends in this area growing up, so it has a little spot in my soul. It’s the first time that I have shot a wedding on a Game Farm and apart from the obvious beauty being in the wild, what’s unique is that everyone at the wedding was staying for the weekend so they were all well and truly anticipating a party, even Kait’s Nanny (Grandmother) was involved until the end (and caught the bouquet). I hope that I have been able to show what a close and loving bunch they are and so full of fun, they even succeeded in dragging me onto the dance floor at the end!

The Weare’s

The Weare’s are a comfortable family, comfortable with each other, clearly firm friends and they weren’t afraid to have a bit of fun together. It’s such a pleasure to work with clients like this as they are so naturally expressive and such fun to work with. They live right on the beach so the location for the shoot was sentimental to them and you can’t go wrong with a great backdrop for family portraits. Big thanks to my super star sisters who helped with lighting and styling for this shoot
