Photo in Kofetti Magazine
I paged through the online Magazine, Konfetti, and I found one of my pictures in the magazine. It is a picture from Aaron & Lizaan’s wedding that I photographed last year at Dornier. Konfetti is an hip South African online Bridal magazine and it free! They always showcase beautiful weddings and creative ideas for your wedding day. My image is on page 8 in the “Real Brides, Real Dresses” artical.
5 Great Years and Still Going Strong…
Today is my birthday. This week is extra special for me, because I am also celebrating the 5th year of my photography business. I started out exhibiting the little work that I had at that time at the Canal Walk Bridal Expo 5 years ago. From there onwards I have never looked back. Over the last 5 years I have build up my business and have grown so much in my photography. They say that most businesses fails within the first 5 year of their exitance. I am truly thankful for having a great photography business that came through a lot of trials to where it is today. I am truly a happy man! I enjoy life and my work! With all the good and the bad that comes with the job, I will not trade it for anything else in the world. Through my photography, I have traveled to new places, met new people and had some awesome experiences. A big THANK YOU goes out to God (the source of my creativity), my wife (Zani), our daughter (Amelie), our families, friends, our church, my photography friends, all my clients (bridal couples) and everyone who has inspired me over the years. I leave you with two pictures that Jean Pierre Uys photographed of me a year ago today on my birthday. Cheers for the last 5 years and cheers for more to come. I can not wait to see where I my photography adventures will take me next…

David & Erin’s Wedding at Bloemendal
David & Erin got married on the last day of 2009. We started off the day in Hout Bay, traveled to Maitland for the ceremony and ended up at Bloemendal, outside Durbanville. They and their guests partied the rest of the evening into the new year with great tunes and food. Bloemendal is located on the highest hill in the Northern Suburbs and from the top you can view most of the Cape Peninsula. We started out at the bottom of the hill and worked our way up to the top. Here are some of the images that I loved.

Ben & Natasha’s Wedding at Pampoenkraal
The union of a Springbok and an All Black. Ben is originally from New Zealand and he met Natasha while she was working there. They decided to get married in South Africa and chose Pampoenkraal, outside Durbanville, as the venue for the big day. They wanted to get married on the beach, but this plan never worked out. So they decided that we should take some pictures on the beach before the ceremony, because they really love the beach. So we hopped into my car, drove to Derde Steen and took a few pictures of them having fun on the beach. The ceremony took place in a little forest at Pampoenkraal where they stood on top of a little hill so that all their gueest could see them. As the sun was setting, it was another great opportunity to photograph them in the fields next to the venue in beautiful natural light. Hope you enjoy the images!
2010-02-23 - 8:51 pm - The 1st image is gorgeous! also love the panoramic one too!
2010-02-23 - 10:57 am - Stunning set of images!!!!!
2010-02-15 - 8:30 am - Thank you, thank you Du Wayne! The photo's are lovely, worth their weight in gold! Can't wait to show them to friends & family.
Christoph & Thalia’s Greek Wedding at the Le Vendôme Hotel
My first big fat Greek wedding! What a awesome day. The bride, Thalia (Greek) stayed in South Africa until she met the man of her dreams a the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France. Christoph grew up in Paris, France, but also have a bit of Spanish in his blood. Why do I mention these things? Because I love working with people. I try and take a sincere interest in their daily lives to produce better photos for their special day. They got married in the beautiful Greek Orthodox Church in Woodstock, Cape Town. Then we traveled to the Gardens in town to photograph the family and the couple photos. The city was busy that day. It was the Coon Carnival in Cape Town that day and it made traveling almost inpossible to get around. But we managed and finally arrived at Le Vendôme Hotel in Sea Point for their reception. After all the speeches and the main course was finished, the plates came out and the dancing was started. Christoph & Thalia, All of the best for your new life in France. Thank you for the opportunity to photograph your wedding. I had a ball at this wedding and now it is time to reveal the result. Cheers, “Εις υγεία” & “À la vôtre”!

Cobus & Louise’s Wedding at Asara
Here comes the first wedding post for the week. Cobus and Louise got married at the in the St. Mary’s Church in Stellenbosch and their reception were held at the Asara Wine Estate & Hotel. Louise looked so beautiful in her dress. A marimba band entertained the guest while canapés & drinks were served. I ended off the day with a last few shot of the couple at the bar. There were many beautiful moments at this wedding but I think the shots in the bar were my favorite of the day. Decide for yourself and enjoy the pictures!
