Prebz & Shogan | Engagement shoot | Maboneng, Jhb

It's that heart of gold, & stardust soul that make you beautiful. -R.M.Broderick

Wow, I got very lucky with this shoot. Prebz was the winner of my photo competition, which I hosted recently, but I didn’t know I was going to have so much fun and that they are going to look this good…! Amazing!

I mostly host these competitions to attract new clients, and also just to have fun because I get to direct the shoot a little more compared to something I do for a client.

What I didn’t plan was the fact that Prebz got engaged shortly before I selected a winner, so this shoot doubled up as an engagement shoot…which was super awesome. It was a little funny when Prebz told me Shogan has proposed without a ring…so they brought a blow-up ring…which ended up being in the “ring shot”.

I really had fun doing this shoot. Prebz and Shogan are such easy people to photograph…and just look how gorgeous they are! And I must say, I have worked with lots of makeup people, but Arti (Instagram: @artyn88) are definitely one of the best I have worked with. His makeup is like pieces of art…I mean just look at Prebz’ incredible makeup.

Prebz wanted to do an urban shoot, so she booked an Airbnb apartment in the innercity of Johannesburg, in the Maboneng District, and what a find! This penthouse has the most amazing views of the city and the sun also didn’t disappoint…what a sunset over the city!

Prebz bought her beautiful dress at Forever New.

Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!


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!
