She wasn't a sunny day type of woman. Often she would brave a thunderstorm to find me, and sit next to me and hold my hand in the rain.
She wasn't just a flame.
She was a bonfire to the soul.
~ JM Storm
I was so fortunate to be able to do a mentor session in New York on a recent trip. I met this wonderful photographer, Brittany Stover through my online shop, and she booked a day with me in NYC. I spent the day showing her how I work and shoot.
On top of that, I got to photograph my friends and beautiful couple I met a couple of years ago when they booked me for a safari shoot in South Africa, Chan & Astami (Astami, also a photographer), posed for this session, YOU GUYS, I love you and thank you so much for being in front of my lens again! It was a rainy day in New York, but that didnt stop us from having so much fun.

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!

Cape Town has such unpredictable weather, but we could not have had a more picturesque day than this. Jacques & Chadri got married against the beautiful mountain backdrop at the Steenberg Hotel, they both looked amazing and Chadri’s dress was absolutely beautiful. Their wedding was intimate with just their closest family and it was amazing fun to be a part of this wedding. I love what I do!
