Alan & Martha’s Wedding at Le Petite Dauphine

On a lovely lovely warm winter day at the end of July, I photographed Alan and Martha wedding at the La Petite Dauphine Guestfarm in Franschoek. This was such a beautiful small wedding with a relaxed and fun admostphere. I had so much more time to try out new things and to be more creative at this wedding. Martha and Alan, you were awesome couple and family to photograph. Thank you so much,  all of the best to you two and your family. Here are some of my favorite images of that day.

Dian & Mariska’s Wedding at Bon Cap

I really had a fun time shooting this wedding in Robertson.   Dian & Mariska got married at the Dutch Reformed Church in Robertson and had their reception at the Bon Cap Wine Cellar & Guestfarm (they make lovely organic wines). Mariska got ready and dressed at the beautiful Ballinderry Guest House. I have realised that you can be the great photographer, but without the beautiful settings and sunset of our Maker, we are useless (of cause, a great couple is also essential).  That is the formula to take great pictures. Enjoy the images! Assistant Photographer: Desmond Denton

Jean & Tammy’s Wedding at Picardi

Boy, something different!  Friends in our church, Tammy & Jean Prieur, asked me to photograph their wedding at Picardi Guest Farm a few months ago. Instead of the usual traditional white wedding, they decided have a fairy tale fancy dress wedding where Tammy was a princess and Jean was dressed as a musketeer.  From pirates to the Mad Hatter, the guests arrived at the venue in their own unique charactors and costumes. There was even a pinata (Mexican card board containter filled with sweets and toys) for the kids to hit and enjoy. And to end of my story and show you some of their pictures… They lived happily ever after…

Martin & Elaine’s Wedding at Oude Kraal

Martin& Elaine had a beautiful beach ceremony at Oude Kraal Beach.  The wedding was a bit delayed after we waited for the rice & popcorn confetti to arrive. Never the less, the show must go on! The light dress that Elaine wore on her wedding day totally enhanced the look and made her look stunning. Beautiful couple shots followed on the beach between the rocks and in their stunning ride on the way to the reception. Their reception was held at the Suikerbossie Restaurant overlooking the valley of Hout Bay with Chapman’s Peak and the bay below. With urther ado, here is some of the photographs from the wedding.

Neil & Cheri’s Wedding at Fancourt

Here is the beautiful wedding that I photographed of Cheri & Neil at Fancourt in George.  It was really a privilege to photograph a wedding on this legendary, beautiful golf course and resort. You’ll remember Cheri and Neil from their stunning couple/e-session that I photographed last year in Cape Town. Their marriage ceremony took place in this beautiful church in George. The beautiful architecture, high ceiling and beautiful stained-glass windows gave me loads of composition possibilities. Back at Fancourt, it wasn’t difficult for this lovely couple to pose for the camera once again. Their family and friends awaited them at their reception where they partied into the night.  Thanks Cheri & Neil for the great opportunity to photograph your wedding and to get to know you. Once again, you two are such a easy couple to photograph.  Here are a few pictures of their stunning day.

Wadda & Arina’s Wedding at Rusticana

Finally, the wedding photographs of our good friends, Wadda & Arina.  It is always great to photograph the wedding of friends and make their wedding day special.  Wadda & Arina’s wedding ceremony and reception was held at Rusticana. Arina and my wife, Zani, have been friends since their Primary School days. Zani was one of Arina’s bridesmaids and she made Arina’s beautiful wedding dress.  It is great to see the transformation of two friends into a stunning bridal couple.  The weather and the scenery was a perfect match for beautiful photography. Wadda & Arina, thanks! I had a ball, it was the first wedding that I could relax and be at ease between friends.  You are a stunning couple and it was a honor to photograph your wedding! Here are some of the best catches of the day! Also check out their couple shoot pictures.
