ELEGANT ALL WHITE WEDDING INSPIRATION BY MARBLE & MAUVE
White on white sophisticated wedding inspirational shoot planned and styled by Marble & Mauve
I simply loved working with my friend UV from Marble & Mauve on this beautiful styled wedding session at Hello Timber Venue just outside Pretoria. It felt good to be working on something when our country went into a stricter lockdown again on 15 January 2021. Have a look at what this amazing team created!

SWEET COUPLE HOME LIFESTYLE SHOOT
Sweet family lifestyle session at home.
Your Home and Life captured
With so much uncertainty out there it feels kind of silly blogging, but being confined to your home is no easy task, and in the end keeping yourself busy, keeps your mind off doomsday thoughts. So here is a little distraction to hopefully make your home quarantine a little easier. This is the ideal time to practice Slow Living so please be safe and stay home, go out for necessity only. Keep yourself busy with things you have been wanting to do around the house, check out this pin board of things to do with your kids, read a book or cuddle with your furries!
About 8 weeks ago I did this shoot and it was so amazing being part of Melissa & Antonie’s adventure for the past 3 years. These two have expanded their family with two beautiful fur babies, Lexi and Lana (Shetland Sheepdogs). They are so sweet and cute it just makes me want to hug them!

Last wedding for 2016 was John & Zavion's wedding, they openend up a brand new venue - Inimitable and even though this venue is still in the process of being built, it was beautiful. I am looking forward to see this venue once everything is done.

I was only shooting details, some ceremony shots and a couple of portraits for this wedding, the main photographer, Wesley Vorster has an absolutely beautiful blog up on the full wedding if you want to have a look here. Thank you Wesley for allowing me to shoot with you on this day!
It was an amazing day, and wonderful to see it all come together, to Zavion & John's team, Zavion Kotze Events Company, and all the other creatives, congratulations on making this day so beautiful!

My little brother got married...it's strange, to see your baby brother become a man, he is 7 years my junior and I used to look after my two younger brothers a lot when we were younger and when we got older, so in my mind they stay kids.
I think one of my favourite feelings is laughing with someone and realising half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence ~ Unknown
My little brother got married...it's strange, to see your baby brother become a man, he is 7 years my junior and I used to look after my two younger brothers a lot when we were younger and when we got older, so in my mind they stay kids.
I think of the four kids, he is probably the most romantic one, he was always the one giving hugs and kisses as a baby (on demand, so we asked regularly). About four years ago, he said something to me that I will never forget, the two of us got in the car to go meet our new born baby nephew, Carl, the first grandchild. I remember that day so clearly, we were all extremely excited! On the way there I asked him if he ever wanted children and his response threw me back a bit (I don't know why, Charlie and I have always been great with children), he said: 'Rensche, I can't wait to have a family' Seeing Carl made him more excited for his own life.
So far, that is one of my sweetest memories of him!
Charlie, I hope that you and Biance will be blessed with a big loving family, that you will give your hugs as freely as you always do. I hope that the two of you will always have laughter in your life and share it with those around you!

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!

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!
