I have just uploaded memory cards and backed files up from this engagement shoot I did yesterday up in the Drakensberg, just outside Himeville. Thank God for Back ups! This past week has seen one hard drive with a firmware problem, freak out, stress, new hard drive installed after failed attempts at Nick trying to retrieve data, re building iMac from backups and Nick “only” loosing some data… I thankfully did not loose any data. *relief* Tomorrow is Monday so hopefully we will have a better week even though it is going to be extremely busy, playing catch up and trying to meet deadlines and finish editing. So its back to work I go. I hope you all understand why I haven’t blogged some shoots, they will be posted this week and hopefully, if I’m superwoman, I can finish editing a whole bunch more shoots than usual. I foresee very little sleep this week…
Thought I’d end with this beautiful photo from the engagement shoot. I will be shooting this couples wedding in October

Shane & Mandy were so blessed on their Wedding Day. Gorgeous weather for a day to get married. Supportive friends and family who all chipped in to make their day truly memorable. Their was such an amazing atmosphere when I walked into the reception venue, waiting for the newly married couple after we got back from taking their formal bridal portraits. And what beautiful stunning photos I have of this couple and all the wedding decor, detail shots, etc, etc. I really enjoyed myself. I found it hard to take my camera off Mandy. She made such an incredible bride! I couldn’t believe how amazing her hair was, I actually thought she was wearing a hairpiece, as I’ve only ever seen her with her hair tied back. But no, that is all her own hair. The style complimented her so well.
These first two images are probably my favourite “bride getting ready” photos ever! The cute little flower girl is Mandy’s daughter. Look at her face as she watches her mommy getting dressed. She thought her mom looked like a “princess”
I agree!

Dror Eyal had asked me to second shoot for Ben Viljoen at a Durban wedding last month. It was an intimate day with I think only about 14 guests. After seeing how relaxed this day was I can highly recommend a picnic style wedding to any future bride.

A romantic wedding – yes I know all weddings have an air of romance, but this wedding was different. There was sun, rain, hail, thunder, lightning, laughter, joy, tears and love. Love floated around amongst good friends and family whilst they enjoyed the celebrations amidst an impressive thunder storm and torrential down pour. It was an Italian wedding at a beautiful venue in the Natal Midlands called La Lampara. The attention to detail was stunning, crystal glasses, little bird cages with fairy lights – the venue was breathtaking. The bride beautiful and the groom handsome – what more could a wedding photographer want

God knows exactly how much we can handle and he sends us just the right trials for every stage of life. This couple had so many trials and hardships to bear in the week leading up to their wedding. But this bride & groom rocked! God knew they could do it and I’m sure he will be with them as they begin their new life together. We had so much fun despite the rain. Yes it even rained on their wedding day after Durban had experienced a week of warm sunshine. The more I kept reassuring the bride about how lovely the lighting will be and at least she wouldn’t be shimmering in her sweat if it were hot – the more she kept saying, “Yes, and that’s what brides who get married on sunny days say to brides who have rain on their wedding day!” What a beautiful day God blessed you with

“Engagement Shoots, Couple Shoots, Anytime shoots & Just because shoots” are so much fun. There’s no pressure, just time for the couple to enjoy each other in front of my camera and for me to chit chat with them. Everyone is relaxed
Here are some photos from a previous engagement shoot. They were relaxed. She loves him & he loves her. And I got to know a little bit more about them. Can’t wait for their Wedding up in Ballito, Durban later on this year.
