Gerhard and Kaelynne | Wedding | Black Horse Brewery

My first wedding after Covid19 in 2020! Wow, its good to be back and what a way to start! Gerhard and Kaelynne had such a special day and they looked absolutely gorgeous! Venue: Black Horse Brewery

"You are the love that came without warning; you had my heart before I could say no." Unknown

Gerhard and Kaelynne have been waiting a long time for their wedding. Covid19 wasn’t and isn’t easy for anyone this year, and having weddings postponed till next year isn’t nice either. They had their wedding planned at a different venue, and had to move it due to regulations, but found a date (31 October 2020)…and then took the risk to book it. Luckily it paid off because the lockdown levels went down to 1 and 250 people were allowed per wedding. Geapers….what a gorgeous setting for a wedding they had at Black Horse Brewery. I have been there before for a beer tasting, and obviously you have to stop there if you do the Magalies Meander…I mean the food is great, the horses are majestic and it’s just beautifully green with stunning gardens! I always knew I wanted to come back for a wedding, and I had my chance!

Being a photographer you know that when you get to the venue, you try to observe and take in as much a possible of what is going on around you. You then try to remember it, because when moments unfold in front of you, you try to incorporate as much of the surroundings as possible. That is called creative story telling. It's because photos speaks so much more than what words can do. And that is why I love what I do. I love storytelling.

When you look at these photos, and you see the happiness, joy, love, laughter, and community…then you realise….despite of what Covid19 and what 2020 have thrown at us…this is why we are alive. People matter, not things. Emotions matter, not belongings. Relationships matter, not your bank balance. I think Covid19 has taught us not to focus on the things we can get, but it has changed our perspective. We need to love more, we need to hug more, we need to be in the present more.

Gerhard and Kaelynne’s story unfolded so beautifully on their wedding day, and I enjoyed every second of it. They have the most beautiful love for each other, and they are supported by an amazing bunch of people…family and friends!

The day ended with probably the biggest rainstorm I have witnessed, and when it died down a bit we had to take a few photos in the rain! How gorgeous, but more than that…what a cool memory!

Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end…a little love goes a long way!

Rohan en Neruschke | Troue | De La Mas Venue

Sjoe, wat ‘n mooi troue! Rohan en Neruscke het op by De La Mas Venue getrou, en wat ‘n mooi dag! En die Bokke het die RWC 2019 finaal gewen! #gobokke #delamaswedding

Every once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, LOVE gives us a fairytale. Unknown

Sjoe, wat ‘n mooi troue! Rohan en Neruscke het by De La Mas Venue die knoop deurgehaak, en wat ‘n mooi dag! Dit was ook die RWC Finaal tussen Suid Afrika en Engeland, en Suid-Afrika het die beker gelig! Wat ‘n voorreg om ‘n troue kon afneem terwyl die Bokke gewen het…ek het regtig gehoop ek kan die manne kry waar die manne regop spring van blydskap, en dit het gebeur! Ek is wel bly ons het gewen, want dink net as die Bokke verloor het…die manne sou lang gesigte gehad vir die hele dag!

Neruscke, jy het sprokiesmooi gelyk, en ek het haar gevra of sy so mooi voel soos wat sy lyk, en haar antwoord was:”Ek voel soos ‘n prinses!”

Julle het soooo gelukkig gelyk, en ek sal definitief nie die partytjie na die tyd vergeet nie! Ek het seker 500 fotos geneem waar mense so lekker dans en lag! Dit was ‘n fees!

Geniet die fotos en los asb ‘n paar mooi woorde aan die einde van die inskrywing!

Melt, Ohna and the twins | Urban session | Melville, Jhb

This was one of the coolest shoots I have done and love the photos! Melt, Ohna and the twins are such a beautiful family!

Wynandvandermerwe melt ohna family photography street mellville urban gauteng-14.jpg

I had the privilege to capture Melt and Ohna’s maternity shoot two years ago, and look at the twins now! Wow, they are soooo freakin cute and they were a breeze to shoot! They were doing their own thing, and I have learnt to follow what the kids do with family shoots, and it works amazingly! It also helped to show them the flash button on my camera, and they could press the button and “shoot” someone (I mean it looks like lightning going off when the flash fires) as incentive! They loved it! We did the maternity shoot in Melville one early morning, and they wanted to recreate some of the images but with the kids, and its amazing how a place can change. Many of the places were not there anymore, but I must say the “updated” Mellville looks amazing. I just loved the protea murial which wasnt there the last time!

Enough said. This was one of the coolest shoots I have done and love the photos! Please leave a comment at the end!

Ferreira and Michelle | Engagement session | Hertford Country Hotel

Wow, how beautiful! Just love Ferreira and Michelle’s engagement photos!

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.

I always love coming back to Hertford Country Hotel, and I absolutely love the upgrades they did recently. The entrance has moved to Malibongwe’s side where the Spar is. Just love the beautiful little fountain at the gate!

Ferreira & Michelle are getting married at Oakfield Farm later this year and I really can’t wait for their wedding. I mean, they are really keen for me to try new things, like for instance the haziness in some of the photos was created using Atmosphere Aerosol South Africa. I over estimated the amount of fog it creates and obviously it doesn’t create fog like a smoke grenade where you are outside, BUT we really had a laugh! Ferrreira was holding the can and sprayed the fog behind them while I was taking photos. The ones on the inside of the venue I sprayed and stepped back to capture the moment. It’s fun, but I must say if you are looking for some serious fog then a smoke grenade will do the trick!

I also love my new Godox AD 200 flash, which allowed me to shoot at High-Speed Sync, ie. shutter speeds of more than 1/200s. Wow, this opens up so much new doors to creativity…LOVE IT!

In any case, I loved capturing Ferreira and Michelle’s engagement shoot and I can’t wait till the wedding! They are such a cool couple and I had loads of fun!

Rohan & Neruschke | Engagement session | Rosemary Hill Farm

I had such an awesome time photographing Rohan and Neruschke’s engagement session at Rosemary Hill Farm.

Just

I have never had a client who booked 2 weddings with me at the same time. Rohan and his sister Charlene are both getting married this year, and I am truly honoured to be entrusted with capturing one family’s wedding memories.

Rohan and Nerushcke recently got engaged and they are getting married at the beautiful De La Mas Venue. And Charlene and George will get married at Galagos Wedding Venue, and I have yet to capture a wedding at both venues. I am super excited because I have been a guest to weddings at those venues and I have been wanting to capture a wedding there for while now! Their weddings will happen a month apart, and I believe it’s going to be a super special year for their parents. They are getting a son- and daughter-in-law!

Rohan and Nerushcke are such sweet souls, and they are so in love. They were super nervious, but they were such a joy to photograph! I really enjoyed having them in front of my camera, and wow...Nerushcke…you looked amazing in that dress from Cocoberry! And your makeup by Melissa Glam Bam was oh-so-stunning!

Enough said. Enjoy the photos and please give this post some love…leave a comment at the end!

Little Maddison | Lifestyle Session | the Smith family

I just loved capturing family portraits for the Smith family again, and with a new addition...Little Maddison!

Little Maddison | Lifestyle Session | the Smith family

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. Maya Angelou

I just love it when I get to photograph the same family, especially when there’s a new addition to the family. Life has continued and a year and a bit has gone by in the Smith family’s lives. And just check how much Ryan has grown, I mean he was the little baby in the previous photos (click here) and now he is a little boy. Little Maddison is the new addition to the family and she is so freakin cute! And Ryan and Maddison together is cute. Ryan loves his sister and the love was evident during the short time I was there. He also loves his new room, which was the spare room for guests, and it was the room in which we did the photos for the previous shoot. Something that hasn’t changed is their wild dogs…but I still love it because they created the coolest photos, Maybe I shouldn’t call them wild…but rather “dogs with character! oh boy…I had fun photographing the Smiths, and they are such gorgeous people…inside and out!

Thank you Robert and Kirsten for trusting me to capture follow-up photos of your family…I am privileged to see how their kids grow up.

Here’s their photos and please leave a comment at the end!

Teaser! Michael and Elmarie | E-session | The Moors Castle

Elmarie really wanted a castle feel for their engagement shoot, so we almost went all the way to Clarens (there is a castle in Fouriesburg…I didn’t know), but she found a castle right here in Muldersdrift. The Moors Castle is a rather unique and stunning backdrop for any shoot and I just loved playing around getting some really cool creative shots for them!

Elmarie really wanted a castle feel for their engagement shoot, so we almost went all the way to Clarens (there is a castle in Fouriesburg…I didn’t know), but she found a castle right here in Muldersdrift. The Moors Castle is a rather unique and stunning backdrop for any shoot and I just loved playing around getting some really cool creative shots for them!

Elmarie has a son with cerebral palsy and I really wanted her to bring him along, because I knew he means quite a lot to Elmarie and he is central in their decision to get married. Unfortunately their day turned out more crazy than what she expected (one of the reasons for this was that it was also Elmarie’s birthday the day of the shoot) and he couldn’t join for some of the photos.

I am really looking forward to their wedding in January, and being a storyteller, I can just imagine how amazing the stories will be to include her son in their wedding photos. I also want to meet him because he looks really cool in the photos she has shown me, and Elmarie told me that we are going to arrange for a particular day to meet each other…wow, I can’t wait!

Here’s a sneak peak from yesterday’s shoot! Enjoy!

This couple is on fire | Couple Shoot | Shepstone Gardens

Wow, I just loved having Hennie and Behanke in front of my camera at the beautiful Shepstone Gardens!

This couple is on fire | Couple Shoot | Shepstone Gardens

"Love cannot be measured by how long you wait, it's about how well you understand why you are waiting" Unknown

I met Hennie and Béhanke at the Admired in Africa #beInspired 2018 conference and they were one of the model couples for the last day's workshop. I just knew I had to do a photoshoot with them, and I really wanted to do the shoot at beautiful Shepstone Gardens...and amazingly it's the venue they really want to say their I-do's one day! Some call it coincidence or destiny...I call it an act of God. I just love it when I meet likeminded people who love Jesus as much as I do, and especially when their love is rooted in Him.

May your love always be rooted in Him!

Tyronne & Romandi | Rock the Dress | Sodwana Bay, KZN

Wow, Tyronne and Romandi’s ROCK THE DRESS session in Sodwana Bay was spectacular! Their wedding was the day before which was held at Mseni Beach Lodge!

Tyronne & Romandi | Rock The Dress | Sodwana Bay, KZN

"The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens

And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth,

He who calls for the waters of the sea

And pours them out on the face of the earth, The LORD is His name." Amos 9:6

When Romandi enquired about wedding photography and she said she is getting married in Sodwana Bay, I knew immediately I wanted to do a Trash the Dress session with them. It took a bit of convincing because it is not normal to jump in the ocean or crash waves with a wedding dress, but eventually they were keen to do it. In reality its also not the easiest thing to do straight after your wedding...because you had been partying for your wedding till who knows what time and then you have to wake up at 5am the following morning to do photos...yes...you have to do a little make-up before this shoot as well! But it was all worth it!

Tyronne and Romandi's wedding reception was held at Mseni Beach Lodge the day before and wow...it was such an emotional and special wedding. Please go this link to see the wedding photos. (CLICK HERE)

Thank you for getting up early Kerry-Ann and Miriska to do Romandi's makeup and hair! Going the extra mile, well done Be Bella Hair & Makeup!

One thing I have learnt from this shoot is that I have always referred to these shoots as "Trash the Dress" but in fact the dress wasn't trashed. Romandi bought her dress at Bride & Co and she washed out most of the sand in the diver's pit (the bathtub which the divers use to wash their gear...this was a funny moment because Romandi and Tyronne were using the showers to get the sand out of her dress but she soon realised it will be better to bath with her dress!). And later when she got home she dry cleaned her dress and the dress is absolutely fine. So from now on I will also refer to these shoots as ROCK THE DRESS!

Enough said. Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end!

Tyronne & Romandi | Wedding | Sodwana Bay, KZN

Tyronne and Romandi’s wedding at Sodwana Bay was so special! I will remember it for many years to come. I get emotional at weddings, and I rarely shed a tear, but when Romandi's stepdad gave a speech with his daughter at his side and when he said her own dad would have been proud of her....oh wow...my heart crumbled. #Destinationwedding

Tyronne & Romandi | Wedding | Sodwana Bay, KZN

"I am proud of you when you are proud of yourself...and you can be super proud, Romandi...your wedding is amazing!" Romandi's stepdad, Bertus, at the wedding

Wow, what a wedding! I will remember this one for many years to come. I get emotional at weddings, and I rarely shed a tear, but when Romandi's stepdad gave a speech with his daughter at his side and when he said her own dad would have been proud of her....oh wow...my heart crumbled.

Romandi's dad passed away 21 years ago at Sodwana Bay and she wanted to commemorate him by having her wedding at Sodwana Bay with close family and friends. Romandi made almost all the details herself, and she made sure there were little details of her dad in the details...for instance she made her own flower bouquet with a protea flower (her dad's favourite flower) and added a locket with her dad's photo around the stems of the flowers! Powerful stuff!

Tyronne and Romandi's wedding reception was held at Mseni Beach Lodge and I had been at the very same place 9 years ago on my honeymoon...so it was also sentimental for me to be at the wedding! Their wedding ceremony was held on the main beach were they launch the boats for the fishing and diving excursions, and it was intimate and beautiful! 

The reception was held on the deck of the restaurant, and the view of the sea from there is spectacular. The decor was truly simple yet elegant and the most of the details was done by Romandi herself, and the coordinator at Mseni just styled the way that Romandi wanted it. The lasercut under-plates was given to each guest as a gift to take home. Amazing.

I also loved the Guest Album, where they took a picture of each guest with an Instax camera and glued it in the Album, and each person had to write best wishes to the couple next to their own photo! 

One thing to take into consideration is the fact that none of the decor elements were within reach when you are in Sodwana Bay...so you need to bring everything in your car! a Job well done Romandi!

I arrived on Friday at Mseni Beach Lodge, and the wedding was on Saturday...so I told Romandi I had this crazy idea where I want to photograph her dress at sunrise on Saturday...and OH MY WORD....it was magical! And funny enough...I almost didn't do it. When I woke up at 5am it was dark but you could see the light is starting to show, but it was cloudy. So my first thought was...I am not going to see the sunrise...I will just see clouds. So it took some inner convincing to get up and get it done....to hope to see the sunrise...and I got an even better sunrise than I expected. If there were no clouds, I wouldn't have had these incredible results!

Tyronne & Romandi also agreed to do a Trash The Dress shoot the day after the wedding, which was epic. We were super tired and half asleep, but so worth it. Like in the ads on TV...."Stay tuned for more"! So more on the Trash the Dress in the next blog post!

This wedding was hard work with little sleep...but it definitely paid off! This why I love what I do. So when I go home and my clients are over the moon with going the extra mile...that is when I feel I have succeeded in delivering an amazing service. It's almost as if the photos is an added bonus! AND BOY OH BOY...the photos are out of this world!
