SOUTH AFRICAN ELEPHANT SAFARI | COUPLE SHOOT
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
'Oh Africa, you have my Heart!' ~ Me
I had an amazing weekend with this beautiful couple, Greg & Rime from France. Greg Finck is one of my favourite photographers and I have been following his work for a couple of years. Rime Arodaky, who's work I saw through Greg, is a very talented wedding dress designer (SA, you want her dresses here in SA - lets get her to come open up a showroom here)! We finally met in March and I can honestly say Greg & Rime are such an amazing couple, down to earth and just warm people. They came to South Africa to relax and see a bit of our beautiful country.
For their couple session we got to photograph them experiencing these gentle giants from Adventures with Elephants. These beautiful animals have been rescued after being called 'problem' elephants, but are living a peaceful life here at Adventures', and they are definitely not problem animals. Please go and visit their website or even their reserve to educate yourself on how lovely these giants are.

It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together ~ Sleepless in Seattle
TINTSWALO ATLANTIC WEDDING CAPE TOWN
This wedding was one of those weddings that have a special place in my heart! I have had the privilege of photographing Nanette's sister's wedding a couple of years ago, also photographed a couple of their friends weddings as well, and it is one of my favourite things to get to a wedding and see my clients, it makes the day so much better! Miguel & Nanette's elegant destination wedding was breathtaking.
No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams. You will go, we will go together, over the waters of time. No one else will travel through the shadows with me, only you, evergreen, ever sun, ever moon. ~ Pablo Neruda

Film Session
NINA | DUBAI
A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are.

Nina booked me for her personal portrait session while I was visiting Dubai. Portrait sessions are so important, we often forget to take note of our lives at a certain point of our lives, we either feel it is silly or we are scared that people would think we love ourselves too much, but we should always love ourselves and be proud of who we are, in this moment, right now, at this stage of our lives. Nina, you are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I had a smile on my face throughout editing this session. I hope to see you again soon and so happy that I have made a new friend.
I will be hopefully be in Dubai again soon, so if you are interested in a session (portrait, family, wedding etc), please give me a shout here.
