FRENCH AFFAIR | INFINITE LUXE WEDDINGS
Romantic Wedding with a French aesthetic at the beautiful Summer Place in Hydepark, Johannesburg.
Another beautiful wedding by the lovely Infinite Luxe Weddings. When you have a beautiful backdrop like Summer Place and a great team, a cloudy day seems like the perfect weather… and what is not to love about this soft box weather?
Everything looked magical, from the beautiful couple to the stunning garden ceremony and reception setups!

Winter days in Johannesburg can be so magical.
Winter days in Johannesburg can be so magical. This engagement session was captured one warm winter afternoon at Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg. It was wonderful having this couple in front of my lens and I look forward to the day I get to photograph their wedding!

BLACK & WHITE WEDDING SPECTACULAR
This was possibly one of the most spectacular things I saw in 2020, just before lockdown hit I had the amazing opportunity to shoot for my friends, the Zavion Kotze Events Company. They took everyone’s breath away with this black and white wedding decor setup at The Four Seasons West Cliff in Johannesburg.
I have to confess that since the start of lockdown it been so difficult and depressing to blog, because our industry felt so hopeless. Now as things are starting to pick up again, I am taking a little throwback to when the world was a different place. This is just a sneak peak of the beautiful post-wedding reception from 2020 pre-lockdown, and it is one of those events that gets you all excited about being creative.
Fudhail & Humaira celebrated their union at The Four Seasons in Westcliff Johannesburg and the epic planning and styling was done by none other than the Zavion Kotze Events team. The theme was black & white, like you have never seen before.

JOHANNESBURG ELOPEMENT
I believe elopements will be the trend for most couples who are eager to get married in 2020. With South Africa putting a ban on big events, is this something you would consider for your nuptials?
Lockdown Elopement Summer Place
It is hard to imagine that we are in August already, months have passed since Lockdown started and my last wedding before Lockdown feels like a lifetime ago but July has been good to me and I got to work on a couple of projects, one of which was this gorgeous elopement.
It feels exhilarating being able to capture my client’s memories again. I had the great pleasure of photographing Anele & Noxy’s elopement shoot and it was nothing short of spectacular.

RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 1
The first Rensche Mari Workshop was held at Bordeaux Game farm, a 4 day retreat with a lot of photo sessions and learning all about Wedding Photography.
Putting together a workshop is hard work, but having a great team to help is always amazing! My 2016 Rensche Mari Wedding workshop held at Bordeaux Game Farm was a great experience and wonderful week spent with creatives from all over. I hope they wont mind if I have the next one here again.
A couple of thank you's will follow throughout the post! If your wedding is coming up and you want to have a marvellous experience you will definitely need professionals like these;
The Bordeaux Game Farm Venue and Team...Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Each person had such a blast and was spoilt rotten with the gourmet food from the kitchen during our stay and we could not have asked for better service, food and backdrop! You are my favourite venue by far!
To Jolindi from Chrystalace, for helping to fill up the goodie bags with wonderful things and stationery for each photographer - they loved it, so did I!
To Sone & Hermann, for letting 8 photographers stand around you and photograph you, the camera loves you!

I am so excited to see what the new year has in store.
May you all have a wonderful 2016!
