Pretoria engagement session.
A beautiful engagement with James & Denize, a couple from Dubai. Denize has a contagious smile but it's because James loves getting that smile out of her. Her stunning dress by Silver Swallow Design and her makeup by the talented Missy Makeup Artist.
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.
Here is the beautiful Mavie and Werner celebrating their life in South Africa, they are immigrating to Canada and thought it would be a great idea to give themselves a farewell treat with this elephant experience.
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.
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.
Happy Friday everyone! Another week from this year gone just like that. Here is a very special blog post of my Brother, Stefan and Chelaine's engagement session.
This is a very special session, for my cousin Marné and her fiancé, Luan! These two tied the knot about 2 weeks ago, so looking forward to blog their wedding too. But first, all the other shoots and weddings in between ;) Keep a look out on the blog, much more to come in the next couple of weeks.

Cute family lifestyle session with Hanno & Genevieve and their two bassets, Guss & Ody and some coffee and sweets...
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!
A very special surprise engagement in Mauritius!
