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 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.

The Adendorf Family

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

Sam & Marc’s Magical Litchi Orchard Wedding

Marc and Sam had their magical wedding at The Litchi Orchard in Salt Rock, KZN. One of the last weddings that the venue was due to hold. It was one of the most fun weddings I have shot because a large portion of the guests were friends and Sam and Marc really made sure that they included me in everything and even asked me to stay and party after – love that! It was such a pleasure to be a part your day, you two are so great together, wishing you endless joy and happiness together! xxx Check out their amazing service providers below: Venue: The Litchi Orchard Event Planner: Carolyn McNeil from Adore Weddings Decor: Labola Make Up Artist: Juliet Downes DJ: Kevin Louw p.s never seen people dance like this at a wedding, Kevin is the shiz!

Steph & Josh’s Winter Midlands Wedding

This was one of my ultimate weddings so far, Steph is a close friend of my little sisters’, so I have know her and Josh a fairly long time. I just adore this couple and their awesome sense of humour, Steph and Josh have a common love for football and funny faces (see above) not to mention that they are kinda pretty to look at. They got married at Bellwood, a gorgeous stud farm with so much scope for photos and with these two loving to mess around on camera, it was definitely the best wedding ever! So great also that both of my sisters and their partners were there, just made it all the more special for me. Congratulations to two very special people, thank you for choosing me to share this beautiful day with you, so much love xxx Venue: Bellwood Stud Caterer: Hamblins Make Up Artist: Brittany Morris Videographer: James Gibbs Studio DJ: DJ Worx – Alan McAbe
