Love rooted in Him | Winter Mini Session | Jhb Botanical Gardens

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ..." Eph 3:17b-18

Every now and then I have a crazy idea to create cool photos...well this was one of them.

I went past the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens one winter morning and saw the mist and said to myself I want to do a couple shoot there early one morning to catch the mist. I knew it will be cold, and it had to be, otherwise there will not be mist....well...I didn't know its going to be this cold. It was absolutely freezing....and I love how the mist and frost accentuates the fact that it's freezing cold!  

Another thing I misjudged was that I thought the sun would rise at around 6am, but in fact it rose at 7am...so we ended up creating a few images before sunrise.

Tebogo and Lihle, thank you for embracing the cold with me! Your chemistry and love is sweet and may it be rooted in the One Above! 

Enjoy the photos, and if you would like me to create photos of you showing your love and happiness....please head on over to my contact page and get in touch! 

Wynand van der Merwe

I am a destination wedding and family photographer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love spontaneous natural moments during weddings that nobody really sees, and which I get to capture! Wow, what a privilege. I also love fun and quirky moments, which makes each wedding unique, fun and memorable!

I am also passionate to create natural yet mind-blowing photos. I love it when couples take a moment to forget about me as the photographer and just enjoy each other’s company and the moment right in front of them. Those moments are priceless and just a joy to capture.

I also love ending weddings off with a very creative sparkler photo, where I run around you just like a headless chicken…which always adds for some fun at the end of a long day!
