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.

After lockdown the best thing to do is to be creative the moment an opportunity arrives. This is exactly what Zavion and I did when we started to plan the second ZK flowerschool and Rensche Mari wedding photography workshop.

STEFAN & CHELAINE | KAVINGA WEDDING

My brother Stefan & his wife, Chelaine, tied the knot in the Lowveld this August. It was a beautiful wedding on a very chilly day, but we had an amazing team who put everything together!

You're my end and my beginning, even when I lose, I'm winning, Cause I give you all of me and you give me all of you ~ John Legend

Stefan & Chelaine tied the knot in Nelspruit, at the stunning Kavinga venue. It was a really beautiful day and the couple (my brother and new sister-in-law), looked exquisite.

Stefan is my younger brother by 5 years, the last of my brothers to get married. I am a little sad that I don't have any more to photograph, but 3 brothers is more than enough. Stefan & Chelaine met when their guild got together for a braai...hahaha, so cute. Congratulations to you two! I hope you have a wonderful life, and look forward to being a part of your adventure!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day to remember with all my friends and family! It was also an amazing team to work with, Anene from Avah Creative Planning and of course Sarah Marie with the gorgeous flowers from Lush Floral, I loved working with you and hope we do this again soon.

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.

PARIS COUPLE PORTRAITS

Anje & Pieter in Paris, you might remember them from their safari wedding in Africa, but these two have been living in Paris for the last year and on a previous visit I got a chance to do a short mini session with them. We woke up early to get a couple of portraits of them at the Eiffel and then went on to the Louvre Gardens. Hope you enjoyed your year of Paris! xoxo

CHARLIE & BIANCE

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.

WILLEM & JUDY

You're the first one when things turn out bad. You know I'll never be lonely, you're my only one, and I love the things, I really love the things that you do, You're my best friend.

Ooh, you make me live ~ Queen

CHARLIE & BIANCE

A very special surprise engagement in Mauritius!

Because of you, I can feel myself slowly but surely becoming the me I have always dreamed of being. ~ Tyler Knott Gregson

WILLEM & JUDY

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I do not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ~ Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda ~

CARL & BEATRICE

'I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees, but, to be quite upfront and completely truthful, you make my body forget it has knees at all.'
