I am available to travel around South Africa and worldwide to capture your special moments.That's enough from me. Let the images speak for themselves...
I have been working on this concept for a while and I think that it is the right time to reveal it. This is the fifth year of my photography business and I want to give something back to other people. I have been busy putting together content for creative workshop for photographers. I call it: Workshop of 5. Here is a brief outline of this course.
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.

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!
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”!

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!

Since I moved over to the new blog, there were a few glitches on this blog that were reported by people who visited the site. All the old posts from my old blog were not displaying any pictures when you visit the archives or any of the categories. This is finally sorted out now! Thank you to everyone who notified me on this matter and waiting patiently for the problem to be fixed. Now you can view all my older post from my old blog.
