CLASSIC BLACK TIE WEDDING
This Classic Black and White Wedding at Inimitable House in Muldersdrift is absolutely gorgeous
I feel like I am always saying the the planners I work with are amazing, but they really are. Once again I have a wedding up here and the outcome was just so amazing. Love this one especially because it was black tie and the outcome was so chic and classic!

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!

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.

I simply loved working with my friend UV from Marble & Mauve on this beautiful styled wedding session at Hello Timber Venue just outside Pretoria.

MULDERSDRIFT | ZAVION KOTZE EVENTS
It was a beautiful day that became breathtaking after a December afternoon thunder shower. In my 14 years as a wedding photographer, I have never seen a sunset quite like this one. Inimitable Wedding Venue in Muldersdrift will surely bring us many more of these spectacular sunsets, so excited to be shooting here!
This was the Portuguese and Greek wedding of Roxanne and Angelo! This couple is definitely setting a trend, a fusion of classic and metro fashion. Roxanne looked elegant in her classic wedding gown with her long hair flowing down her neck and the bridesmaids complimented her beautifully, Angelo looked dashing in black tie with a Pompadour haircut that not many men can pull off.

I loved the couple’s lifesize floral initials at the canapé area. The Zavion Kotze Events team decorated the venue with subtle touches of rose gold, beautiful greenery,white florals and a lush hanging arrangement. The cherry on top; amazing food by Andrew Draper and the captivating and enjoyable experience at end of the evening with Greek dances; there is always so much emotion going around and crockery-bits flying next to your face ;) Scroll down to enjoy this beautiful event!
INFINITE LUXE WEDDING | RED IVORY LODGE
Soft pink and yellow rose covered perspex sweetheart table and beautiful gold and glass details to put such an elegant touch to the decor. It was a wonderful day and great to be there to capture Monkie & Onke’s wedding day.
This was such a special wedding occasion with these two sweethearts, Monkie & Onke. They tied the knot with family & friends as witnesses at the luxurious Red Ivory Lodge in Hartbeespoort. And who better to put this beautiful day in place than the ladies from Infinite Luxe Weddings!

SOUTH AFRICAN ELEPHANT SAFARI | COUPLE SHOOT
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
'Oh Africa, you have my Heart!' ~ Me
I had an amazing weekend with this beautiful couple, Greg & Rime from France. Greg Finck is one of my favourite photographers and I have been following his work for a couple of years. Rime Arodaky, who's work I saw through Greg, is a very talented wedding dress designer (SA, you want her dresses here in SA - lets get her to come open up a showroom here)! We finally met in March and I can honestly say Greg & Rime are such an amazing couple, down to earth and just warm people. They came to South Africa to relax and see a bit of our beautiful country.
For their couple session we got to photograph them experiencing these gentle giants from Adventures with Elephants. These beautiful animals have been rescued after being called 'problem' elephants, but are living a peaceful life here at Adventures', and they are definitely not problem animals. Please go and visit their website or even their reserve to educate yourself on how lovely these giants are.
KWAGGA & ILKE SMITH | WEDDING
My last wedding for 2017 was at one of my favourite wedding venues (or should I just be completely honest and say; MY FAVOURITE VENUE). This place is magic, from the reception hall all the way to the honeymoon suite. The following wedding is also out in the SARIE Magazine this month.

And what better way to end it than with a highschool-sweetheart couple? Ilke & Kwagga tied the knot at Bordeaux Game Farm in Limpopo. It was the right in the middle of summer, but this day was absolutely perfect, even though it was hot, there was a light breeze to cool you down. Close family and friends joined in this celebration and one of my highlights was the ceremony, it was under a big beautiful Mopanie tree in an open field!
