COUPLES
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.
Winter days in Johannesburg can be so magical.
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.
Sweet family lifestyle session at home.
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.
The Rensche Mari Wedding Photography started with a late afternoon couple shoot with the gorgeous REAL couple Aubrey & Janine. We did a ‘Sunday Morning’ shoot with Champagne in bed.
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.
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
Lovely Couple shoot in Paris!
Love having friends in front of my lens. My trip to Montreal, Canada for a really cool winter couple session.
Bridget & Peter posed for one of the days for my 3-day-mentorship with Jacqueline Joan.
Loved my time in Canada! Here is Graham & Ly's engagement session, photographed in their backyard and neigborhood.
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!
You can always find yourself in Africa! Here us Chan & Astami on their safari couple shoot!

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.

Beautiful Venice with a pink sky and a dear couple was absolutely amazing. Like with Paris, I could stay here for a while, wake up in the morning and take a stroll into the many little streets that brings new inspiration and energy to one’s being.
Lovely Couple shoot in Paris!
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
