TROPICAL MAURITIUS ENGAGEMENT
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.
Destination Couple Photography
This was such a great adventure traveling from South Africa to Mauritius with the amazing Zavion Kotze team to spend a couple of days documenting Kira and Ben’s destination wedding. I loved the couple’s laid back sense and I am looking forward to sharing some of my favourite highlights from their wedding day soon!

One of the things that I love about Kira is that she’s not only a vet by trade but her love for animals is as big as mine. For her guests she asked that instead of a gift they donate money to a charity that helps animal welfare for the animals and education to the locals of Mauritius, who currently have a huge overpopulation which leads to cats and dogs being malnourished and ridden with diseases. These babies need your help so if you would like to donate either your time or money visit Paws Mauritius to help.

It is wonderful to blog this shoot, it was shot in early February, with my favourite camera, my Contax 645 film camera #nodigital. After my workshop I decided that I had to shoot something for me, something good & simple. This shoot was inspired by things I found around my house and with people who I create with often. Thank you to Jana, Jolindi & Leandri for all your help on this shoot!

WAIHEKE ISLAND COUPLE PORTRAITS
Loved photographing this beautiful couple on the stunning Island of Waiheke, New Zealand. It was a cold windy morning in May, but it was such a great relaxing day.

IVANN & LEANIE
I love traveling, so when Ivann & Leanie booked me for their wedding in New Zealand I was extremely excited, New Zealand is just absolutely breath taking. I hope to visit again soon!
I remember the first day I ever looked into your eyes and felt my entire world flip.
Ivann & Leanie got married on the beautiful Island of Waiheke, New Zealand, the venue where they had the ceremony was at Lavender Hill and the reception at Mudbrick vineyard and Restaurant. I was honoured to fly over and capture their big day. New Zealand is so magical and it has such inspiring views, I would love to go back and explore more of this country.
