DUBAI COUPLE - DESERT SHOOT
"And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the starlit sky and he careed not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many." -- J.R.R.Tolkien
I am thrilled to present Charlotte and Stephen’s Bushveld Safari session at Adventures with Elephants. Despite the sweltering heat on the day of the shoot, the outcome and feeling was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by the majestic presence of elephants, their grace and beauty left us in awe, a sentiment shared by everyone at AWE. This experience was not just a photo session but a celebration of nature, love, and artistry.
In a perfect world, all elephants would be free and wild, indeed all game would be free and wild. In the imperfect world we live in, we must find solutions for both animal and humans to be able to co-exist. As long as wildlife has no value to the people who own them/live with them, wildlife will continue to die carelessly and cruelly. AWE works towards finding and communicating the value of having and conserving wildlife.
Kira & Ben’s engagement shoot was a dream in the beautiful Mauritian forest with the green lush fauna, magical sunbeams and a striking tropical bouquet by Zavion. We ended up at a lagoon nearby with the perfect sunset.
The Rensche Mari Wedding Photography started with a late afternoon couple shoot with the gorgeous REAL couple Aubrey & Janine. We did a ‘Sunday Morning’ shoot with Champagne in bed.
A lovely session with my cousin Anzel and her fiancé Jacques. We went out to a location close to our homes and photographed with the beautiful lowveld backdrop. I am very excited to photograph Anzel & Jacques wedding in June on our family farm!
I am so honoured to be able to photograph Hilma and Inge’s journey, starting with their engagement session, photographed in Nelspruit, at a wildlife reserve with a lucky couple of shots with the zebra’s roaming in the area. I also got to photograph Hilma’s two sweet Wirehaired Fox Terriers with the cutest little bowties. Their wedding day will follow in July by the sea. So much to look forward too.
Anje & Pieter in Paris, you might remember them from their safari wedding in Africa, but these two have been living in Paris for the last year and on a previous visit I got a chance to do a short mini session with them. We woke up early to get a couple of portraits of them at the Eiffel and then went on to the Louvre Gardens. Hope you enjoyed your year of Paris! xoxo
