Chris & Hayley said I DO!

Hayley and Chris said “I DO” in a beautiful and natural setting at the Rain Farm Game Lodge in KZN – it was so special to be able to experience a bush wedding so close to the city. 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 Vendors Venue: Rain Farm, rainfarmgameandlodge.co.za Video: mightyfine.co.za Wedding Planner: Lesley Van Straaten, +27 82 4510113 from Wildest Dreams Florist: Flowers by Benita

The Lappeman Family

I met Teniche, Garth and little Mikaylé on a beautiful morning at the beach in Umhlanga. The morning light is just so beautiful and soft. The Lappeman’s were out on a business trip and wanted a fun family shoot with their little girl. The light and the love just made it, don’t you agree? You have a beautiful family and it was so great to meet you all xx

Jen & Tom Engaged

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! So much love xxx

Tiny Trinder and 200 Nappies

Congrats to Matt and Jacs, it was so special to share this with you and to be able to help to realise your vision for this shoot. The direction was conceptualised by Jacs – I love working with her because of her creative eye and willingness to go out of her way to create something unique. Jacs is a gifted hair and makeup artist, take a look at her work http://professionalmakeupartist.co.za This is a story about tiny Trinder’s time in Mom’s tummy and … about a bet. Words below by the beautiful Mommy to be Jacqui Trinder. You already bring Mommy and Daddy so much joy. We wanted this shoot to document our journey in preparation for your exciting arrival…. I love you so so much. The bond between you and I was there from the beginning. There is someone you won’t meet here on earth, but maybe you have already met up in heaven? This picture was taken on your great grannies kist. A special family heirloom which will one day be yours. The minute I found out you were in my belly I started filling it with special things for you. As my belly grew, so did my love for you. My rapidly growing […]

Andre & Kirstin

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 & Elizma

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 & Chelsea

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 Hair – Jacquie Tiplady/ Roxann de oliveira Make up – Bianca Yeo Decor – Tatum Joynt at Unforgettable Events Music – Michael Ferguson Cake – Decadent Desserts Venue – Palm Dunes Beach lodge Photography – Kate van Onselen
